Getting Ready for Mother's Day

Image
I updated my blog today for Mother's Day. The photo's are of my Mom and the photo with the car is her and her older brother's. Mom was the baby of her family with 5 older brother's. I have recieved several emails with questions regarding Desktop Nexus. I contacted a friend that is more involved with DN than I am to try to find out the problem. This is what I "think" happened. Their server crashed so they are moving everything to a larger server. They have been posting on their site it will be 24 to 48 hours! BUT it has been saying that for 3 weeks, so I have no answers for anyone on that regard. When they do get back up for sumbissions, it will probably crash again because everyone has a lot of wallpapers to submit. I haven't been submitting any themes that have wallpapers to match for several weeks now. I think I have submitted about 5 that do have wallpapers and will submit those as soon as I can.  I don't have time to write anymore today bu...

Spring Afternoon in the Northwest

Image
Just had to post this photo I took out of our living room window yesterday afternoon. The thunder roared and the hail flowed! The lilac trees aren't very pretty today, but the hail is gone.  We harvested our rhubarb this week for the winery so don't have too much left in the field. We had given some rhubarb to our grandaughter and she made a couple new recipes so I had her send me her coffee cake recipe. I made it this afternoon. My goodness, I had every mixing bowl, mixer, food processor, etc. out to make it. It better be good after all this work...and then the clean up! I even had rhubarb on the floor!  Desktop Nexus is still down. Can't believe they can't get it up and running. They aren't accepting submissions at this time. So I haven't been submitting many themes that I have wallpapers for.  Back to work! Have a great week end.

Beautiful Monday Morning!

Once in a Blue Moon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/once-in-a-blue-moon-by-madonna/ What a beautiful day we are having! The weekend was really nice, too. We were very busy but that is good.  My husband helped our oldest son work on his truck. So there was 3 generations working on the truck all afternoon.  Then on Sunday we went to their house to have their "Easter" dinner. Too many places to go on the real Easter so they decided to have it later. That way the little ones got several Easter egg hunts! Which they enjoyed so much. It is fun to see them get so exicted. And our son and daughter in law did a great job of hiding them. I wonder if some are still out there! I have been listening to my music and that always cheers me up. I usually listen to my favorite radio station which is kind of political and sometimes that gets a bit heavy! We are going to be inundated with politics for the next year and a half. I hope it doesn't get down low and di...

First Tuesday in April

April Showers https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/april-showers-by-madonna   The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the lilacs are almost in full bloom. It is a month early for the lilacs. I believe in global warming! We had a really busy Saturday. Had to go in and do our shopping and it poured rain! I had to roll the bottom of my jeans  up because they were dragging in the puddles! Looked really cool!! Then in the afternoon we went to our daughter's house. Her daughter was up visiting and it was so good to see her. We had taco's and talked and laughed and laughed together. I feel so lucky to have at least one daugher, one grandaughter and one great grandaughter. Girls in my husband's family are few and far between.  Yesterday we had Doctor's appointments and that is always fun! We are both pretty darn healthy. So the Doctor says! Did some shopping afterwards.  Been catching up on work today. Already working on Mothers Day for...

Desktop Nexus Down!

A Summer Dream https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-summer-dream-by-madonna/   Desktop Nexus has been "broken" for 3 days now, so I haven't been able to post any wallpapers. I hope it is up and running soon.  Hope everyone had a nice Easter. It was our 58th wedding anniversary, too. We don't celebrate our anniversary's with any big horrah anymore. We did have ice cream after we did our shopping on Sat. I know that sounds strange, but we are just thankful we are well and together. Every day is a celebration!  Saturday we got to see our oldest great grandson play lacrosse and that was so much fun. He is really a good player. I have never watched lacrosse before last year when we watched him play. But he is a year older and really into the game. He played goalie the last half and stopped 8 goals, So we were pretty proud great grandparents.  It is funny about being great grandparents. When you are a parent, it is easy to say No, when y...
