Signs of Spring...

The trees began to bud, flowers bloom, finally signs of Spring. And Easter, of course....another sign and tradition. The famous Easter Egg Hunt at the Dranny's..followed by a fabulous meal.

Routers that warm you....

For those who don't know..we have a cat, Penny, she is a polydactyl cat with very large front and back feet and in general, although not fat, she is a big cat, not quite 3 yet! We laugh a lot about her because she loves Kevin's router for the computer in our room, she squeezes herself onto this to keep warm and take naps, much to his chagrin...I finally got to capture a few photos of her...

One last thing about my birthday....

Belated Birthday Posts.....

Since my birthday fell on the first day of Spring Break (oh joy!) I decided to have a birthday eve, eve celebration. The friday before I invited my scrap gals to join me for a breakfast/mani-pedi's/lunch day. I started my morning , in the pouring rain, meeting Michelle and Leslie for breakfast at Bagel City in Rockville. Michelle's son gets out of school early on Fridays so she was only able to meet in the morning. We had a really fun time talking and laughing. Michelle always makes me laugh. Then Leslie and I were going to get manicures and pedicures with Julie at LA Nails. So off we went. It was a nice relaxing morning. After mani/pedi's we went to La Madeline for lunch where my sister in law, Laura, met up with us. I left there and went and did some shopping and then headed home. Despite the rain, it was a lovely way to spend the day and to start off my birthday celebrations. Thanks Ladies..Love you All!!

p.s. My birthday was in April and now I am finally finding the time to catch up on my blogging!

Costume Parties are Just not My thing....

For those who have known me as a child and as a adult, you can atest to the fact that I was EXTREMELY shy as a young child and young adult. It was shortly before I met Kevin that I began to be less shy and more assured. Now into my 40's I love social gatherings, usually not real large gatherings but for the most part I feel pretty comfortable going to a party with Kevin even if I know very few people. With all of that said, there are still some parties that I just prefer not to go to....this being COSTUME Parties. UGH!

So tonite my dear husband dressed up for the annual Mardi Gras party that is held nearby. He loves this party and I love being at home tonite!

So have a good time honey....here's your picture!
