APRIL


 

Hello, friends!  I'm back with the month of April.  I'm catching up!

April was a month full of activity.  The main thing was that Joe had to go to physical therapy.  I took him and one time I went inside with him.  But the place for people to sit is small and crowded.  It wasn't very comfortable.  So the rest of the time I sat in the car in the parking lot.  The rehab center was in a shopping center so there was always lots of people around.  I felt totally safe and ended up reading lots of books.  An hour twice a week gives you time for reading!

Easter was in April too.  We invited our friends Rosemary and Carol to come over for dinner.  We had ham (free one from spending enough money at Shoprite to get their reward), mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, veggies and apple pie.  Lots of good food.   And it was fun seeing them too.  We try to invite people who would be alone on a holiday to come over.

I had some appetizers on the coffee table when they came in and took a picture of it.


I also decorated some.  I have tons of bunnies but couldn't find them.  Probably still in a box somewhere.  But I did find a few and put them around the house.  This is what I put on the bookcase I have on the front porch.  Our Dollar General was going out of business and everything was 90% off.  Of course everything was well picked over by the time I got there.  The little blue, white and yellow flowers were the only ones left in the store.  Just three little beat up stems.  I put them in the vase with the red rose Joe gave me for Valentine's Day and fluffed them out.  They looked great.  Not bad for 5 cents each.


Joe was on a baking kick this month.  He just kept baking cake after cake.  Some we ate and some he gave away.  Here's two of them.



Since Joe was a baker in a former life, they were really good.  Yellow with chocolate icing and devil's food with white icing.

That's about it for this month.  I'll be back soon with the month of May and Joe's birthday.
