GreAt FrieNds, PIF, and YuMMY FooD...

Good Morning everyone!!! oh the sun was out earlier..hope it is again today...as I want to go for a walk..I am feeling great..yesterday was a bit of an off day..I had a bit of a headache and a bit of cramping..(I do not miss those days when that monthly visitor would come)..and this is how it has felt..nothing that a little percoset can't fix..my great friend Sarah came over and brought us dinner that night at 6pm..she brought us broccoli and asparagus and chicken and rice..she threw in some red and green grapes for a snack, and she brought me some watermelon sour candys..oh they are so good..and 2 little firestarters so we were nice and toasty...and she brought me this big beautiful bouquet of flowers!!! I love flowers and they are in my craft room up high (so the kittys don't eat them)..and I can enjoy them..

her daughters and herself gave me a card..now beings it was april fools day..Nykol her 9 year old decided to pull a fast one on me..and she did..she put on the card that her little sister had broken her arm..I couldn't believe Sarah hadn't said anything..then when I opened the card..it said april fools..the little stinker...I love those little kids of hers..and love the sweet little cards..Sarah if you read this..thank you for taking such great care of me and Mike on friday..you are a sweetheart with a huge heart of gold..;)
my other friend Peggy came by yesterday for a short visit and she brought me a beautiful geranium plant..and red is my favorite color..she also brought dessert.(pic shown below)..we had a nice visit..I love you too Peg...you made my day to stop by and say hi..:) thank you for the flowers and the yummiest dessert ever!!!

on friday a nice little surprise package came in the mail from Tonya of my primitive creations by tonya.. she and I did the Pay it forward thing and we each sent each other something..she will get hers next week.;) I love the goodies she sent me and yesterday I put them all in place...
my bathroom is looking more prim and it looks so good with this little vignette..;)
I added these eggs to this cabinet in the corner of my dining room..I love these eggs..
the most yummy smelling candles ever.. they smell like coffee, cinnamon and hubby said oatmeal..but I will tell you they are awesome.;)
my little "kindness" jar with where else my baking center..it looks right at home there too.:) Tonya thank you for making my day by paying it forward..it came on the day of my surgery and it was most welcome..;)

okay so Hubby is taking great of me and he started out making turkey meatloaf..well that thing was huge..so he cut it in half and made some turkey meatballs (more went in the freezer) for later...
so here is his homemade spaghetti sauce and turkey meatballs simmering away..oh the house smelled soooo good..he kept bringing in spoonfuls for me to taste..Rachel Ray he has you beat..
and here is the finished product..needless to say I ate meatballs and left half of the pasta..that will be lunch for today..it was sooooo good though..and he cleaned up the kitchen too..it is nice being on the receiving end of the cooking and cleaning..a girl could get used to this..tonight its turkey meatloaf and asparagus on the grill.;)
and here was dessert from my friend Peg..yummy brownie cupcakes..oh I haven't had dessert for a while and this and a glass of milk hit the spot...
oh and last night I finally passed a stone with no problem whatsoever..its in my "collection" jar for the doctor...been passing alot of sand again no problem...so I think I can do this again in 5-6 weeks..the doctor did a great job in blasting these to smitherrings..;)
well I am off to make the bed and get breakfast going..then its off to the showers and a nice walk with the Hubby and Tucker..I hope your sunday is off to a great start...mine is..I have my little blogging buddy sitting with me purring loudly and snuggling with me..:) take care.:)
