Good morning all, Haven’t been on line much lately, Easter went well . Cooked the ham in the crock pot this year, turned out well although DH and I figured out 8 hours on low was just a bit too much but everyone really liked it. Ham was NOT dry but it fell apart getting it out of the crock LOL. Son 2 was disappointed he couldn’t “carve” it.He’s a butcher and loves doing that for us(and I think he likes to impress his Aunts and Uncles LOL). The grands were very happy Gramma made mashed potatoes AND gravy. Everyone had a great time. DH and I went to the hardware store to look at new locks, we’re replacing windows and one door(out to the deck). So he wanted to change the locks on the new door, one manufacturer has a deal on right now buy four get fifth one free, so we decided to replace all the locks plus they re keyed the locks so we only need one key rather than 5 different keys for free. Windows and door have been ordered and should be here in May. We’re going to have snow tomorrow YUK!. DH is hoping it goes away quickly as he’s just itching to get back to planting. Had to laugh, he really can’t wait till he can mow the lawn regularly, had the rider out Wednesday and “mowed” the lawn such as it is HEE HEE!. Thank you all again for all your prayers and thoughts. Niece, nephew and grandniece are doing okay, They have the bad days and good days. Niece has been getting the special needs things together,returning them and has been going thru Grand nephews toys, clothes and donating them. It’s going to be a long process for all of them. An Uncle(nephews) started a pay pal account to help them with the costs, etc. They are still looking for someone to make a custom urn(that doesn’t cost an arm and leg) as my grand nephew went thru the “Magical Mist”. That is what the funeral home called it for grand niece. How do you explain cremation to a 5 year old without traumatizing them. She was happy she would be able to take her little brother home and not bury him. That upset her more than anything that little brother would be in the ground. The funeral home they went to as I understand it does not charge for children under 5 for cremation. They will be doing a memorial later on for him. Hopefully DH and I can go when that happens.Hope you all had a great Easter and hope Daisy is enjoying her trip. Look forward to her reports.
