I went to my brother's yesterday and we went to the cemetery to take the flowers for Ted's grave and our parents grave. I brought Sparky with me and I brought his cage. I put him on the front porch while we had our lunch but I had to put him in his cage as Don had put the trash out on the porch and Sparky bit a whole in the "steel sack" and got out a paper towel that had been use to clean up bacon grease. Sparky is not used to riding in the car and he spent the whole time whining. I thought maybe he needed a pit stop but in new places, he is so excited about sniffing everything that he doesn't go. I walked him several times at Don's and he still would not go. He held it until we got home.
It was sunny with the temp. in the 60's. In the afternoon, it was 68 on my deck. I was able to walk Sparky without my coat, hat, scarf, boots and gloves. It felt great. I saw some cherry trees blooming and some forsythia and star magnolias are getting ready to burst forth with their blooms.
I woke up around am this morning and thought it was Monday so I turned over and went back to sleep. I woke again at 6:15 and wondered what happened to Sunday. I had to quick get ready for the sunrise service. It was 28 degrees. I had to take Sparky out and scrape off my car. I wore long johns, corduroy pants, turtle neck, fleece shirt, winter coat, scarf, gloves and my Alpine hat that comes down over my ears and ties under my chin. I felt as if I were dressed for Christmas. It was dawn but the sun didn't rise over the canal before the service was over. Bummer. I had to quick drive home(about a mile), walk Sparky, change into my Easter outfit. (Yellow pants suit) and Yellow Easter bonnet and get to church for choir rehearsal and the service. I still have my cold and it is a nuisance.
Sparky will need to be walked and I have to make my Waldorf Salad for my niece's dinner.

Posted by tedkarol at March 31, 2013 11:05 AMSounds like a busy day as for everyone else.
Tom arrived here by 8:30AM We loaded quickly and took off for Ann Arboe. Got as far as the high school when I remember that my salad was still in the refrig back home so had to turn around and go back to retieve it. We made good time and was in
Ann Arbor by 10AM.
I dressed up in a dress but discoverd that everyone in Ann Arbor had slacks on. So much for Easter finerery. I need to go shopping and get a couple on nice pant suits. I do have two but they are more business suits. I guess not many people wear dresses anymore. So much for old age.
Tom & Mary had 20 people there for their buffet dinner. Way too much food. They had lamb as well as ham.
Kate and her two babies were there as well as David his friend Merdith, Betsey and her friend
Cris from NY, neighbors and university friends.
Of course they all had to watch Michigan win their basketball game before setteling down to eat. Eveyone is surprised that Michgian has come so far in the Tournament. Will pray all goes well this coming weekend also.
Sparkey will learn eventually and should make you a nice companion. Missed Sketter when he was gone to friends over the weekend. He is a lot of company although some times a nusiense. Good Luck.
