APRIL ANNIVERSARIES AND FINDING WAYS TO RELIEVE ANXIETY

Hello Loves....

how in the world are y'all doing this week?

Well...I am going to be very real...

I have worry and anxiety over our current state of affairs...

"when is this going to be over?"....we all ask....

I think Governor Cuomo is right when he replied,

"It's over when we have a vaccine!"

I am nervous over that too....

To me, this virus is a big UNKNOWN....

this has effected all of my family's jobs and yes,

some of them have known people personally who

have been infected with the virus and a few have lost their life..

it really hits home....

May the good lord bless us all......

Here are a few things from our home to yours

to share from the past week.....

The Divine Miss M and her sweet husband Jay

celebrated 20 years of marriage...

Their days are extremely busy with two parents working

from home and Luke continuing with his virtual schooling...

this stack line was a Christmas gift from a year ago

and they finally put it up for a little outdoor entertainment...

two hours of work for about 20 minutes of play......

Nick and Cat celebrated another wedding anniversary......

I will say how proud I am of our son

for finding creative ways to make their anniversary

quite romantic and just plain fun!

Steaks were purchased from Del Frisco's

and he said they were amazing!

These two boys must have been part of the 

furloughed wait staff........

There is nothing quite as nice as sitting around

an evening fire .......so comforting....

I received a text showing me that they were putting

their Pannini Press to good use....

a birthday gift from years ago....

makes a fabulous Cuban sandwich!!!!

Around the house......

I changed up a few decor items here and there....

I put away all the winter pillows and throws

and brought out fresh ones for going into Summer......

The darling moved his at home office from the kitchen

to the formal dining room....

he is so considerate NOT to set up in HIS real office

so I can have access to our computer...

I just want him to be comfortable and have privacy

for all his numerous conference calls....

Lunch has been easy...

this day was Chicken and Rice Soup...

this is comfort food to me.....and him!

One of the best dinners was

Mushroom Cheeseburgers with a wedge salad

And....I made the HEB

Green Chili Chicken Spaghetti...this was fabulous!

Nick makes huge portions of this for Noah's

football team in the fall....

I wonder how that's going to go next year.....

it's his senior year and I feel things will be

very different with whatever the new normal looks like.....

And...thank goodness for BLUE BELL....

I have been craving ice cream....

now this will put a smile on your face, right?

I have been pampering myself with feel good

beauty products....

A few weeks ago, during a conference call,

I overheard participants talking about the lack of items

found at the grocery and one of them mentioned hand soaps...

I took advantage of the Bath and Body sale of their foaming

hand soaps, which I normally stock up when they are on sale!

I so look forward to an evening bubble bath

and added a few items to make spa time...extra special...

like a lighted candle......

Smells heavenly.....

Now THIS product I love....
thank you Amazon!

Our girl Mae Mobley is a gift...everyday...
I could not love her more.....

I plan to get the patio ready for Summer
on May 1st...new outdoor rug, pillows, plants
and a little fountain.....
weather permitting of course...
Texas can get pretty scary storms during the month of May....

I then thought,,,,, I want to throw a family party
to celebrate the beginning of Summer.....
the first of June....barbecue, cocktails, swimming,
snacks, grandchildren....
BUT....I doubt that will be possible....

I miss seeing their faces....hugging them...talking with them
in person....I know you probably are feeling the same....
Well....it's fun to think about isn't it?
Feel well and be well my friends.....
Sending you a big distant hug!!
