The Friday Five Good Things

 Five good things that happened this week.

1. Fun phone call from Grandmaster E. I have some cat food the kitties won't eat but her cat loves. She is baking some traditional Italian Easter goodies to swap. We made plans when we could make the swap

2. The Eldest had a practical CPR test she had to take for certification. The good news is she passed. The bad news is the Boston hospital decided they didn't need her so they cancelled the contract. No visit for Easter.

3. Tuesday with Teague with a side trip to the dentist. 

4.  Another quick treatment at the dentist.

5. I didn't feel like cooking. Himself brought home a rotisserie chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner.

A List of Toxic Plants for Pet Owners

 With Easter this weekend, if you own a pet, please be aware that Easter Lilies as well as other plants are toxic to pets.

Whatcha Doin?

 

I'm going back to the dentist today. Because if there has to be a reaction to medication or complications, I always seem to be at the head of the line.

T Stands for Birthday Celebration

 

When you were a kid did you have the giant 64 box of Crayola crayons with the sharpener in the back? I did. The crayon box was one of my favorite things.

Divers and Sundry told me that Crayola is celebrating the 64th anniversary with a special birthday box of the crayons. Not only the regular crayons, but the "crayons included, you will find all your favorite colors and 8 special effect Confetti Crayons, which have specks of color inside for surprising streaks and a party in every crayon! "

If the big box wasn't enough of an excuse to get a new box of crayons, the confetti crayons are the icing on the cake.

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog to find out what the rest of the T Stands For gang is up to. If you want to play, include in your Tuesday post a beverage or container for a beverage. Don't forget to link your blog to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's page.

Happy Mail

Look what was waiting for me after the "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" at the dentist. A first day cover for the kitty and puppy Love stamps! Look at that awesome postmark with love and the pawprints. So nice that the envelope was in a cellophane bag so the postal clerk could scribble on the barcode and not on the envelope.

I was sure the envelope came from Finnbadger at Envelope100, but Finn doesn't live in TX. 

But when I flipped the envelope over to look at the return address, I was right. It was from Finnbadger. Thanks, again, Finn. It was a much needed and welcome surprise.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Some crocus blooming in the middle of the front lawn. Nowhere near where they were planted. I think some bunny or chippy  nibbles the bulbs and plants them in other places. Glad the pretty, little gems will be past by the time the lawn guy comes to Spring clean.

The bunny stopped by. He and Calli were having a nice conversation. I think she was inviting him over for dinner.
