Women's March...

Our teacher daughter and her husband stopped by on their way down to the KC Women's March at Mill Park   on the Plaza earlier this morning.

She dropped off some apple fritters... a new recipe she was trying.. and planned to drop off donuts for our stress filled librarians....  on their way.

then on to UMKC to pick up our college student grandson and a friend!

Here's hoping parking won't be too much of a hassle.  They were prepared with several umbrellas since it really looks like it could rain!

 

 

 

Here we are at a much earlier Women's gathering down near Union Station KC. Nowadays getting to Mill Park is just too much walking and standing around...big sigh.

ps... that's my grand daughter with us!

The big "80" !

 Today is my 80th birthday. I've always loved my birth date - 4/4/45 ! Boy is it easy to remember!

It is wet and gloomy out but we will be heading out for lunch shortly. Our teacher daughter is on spring break. Our non-profit daughter is taking the day off so with Bob is will be the four of us!! Really looking forward to it... Ophelia's in Independence here  we come!!

Lunch was great! Wonderful food... lots of talking... almost 2.5 hours. It was pouring on our way there and while we were there. So not too busy and they didn't mind us overstaying (?) our time!! 

We were stuffed... and I am still stuffed!!

It was also time to plan Easter!

"The Residence"

The other day Bob and I recommended "The Residence" ( on Netflix) to our daughter. I am always surprised when she and her husband like something we like. Their tastes are so different from ours. But they love this ! They are working their way slowly through the 8 episodes...

It happened with "A Man on the Inside" ( with Ted Danson) too!!

Lots and lots of rain

 Last night was a strange one.. lots of thunder and rain and lots of "charley-horses". They weren't really strong ones but strong enough to require getting up to get rid of them and while up, a trip to the bathroom!

We finished up getting the house and the refreshments ready for my quilting group. My daughter came a little early to help put out the food and drinks. The evening went well ... lots of laughing, talking and eating!

Put all the leftovers away ... Bob went back to his XBox and I read!

rain and more leftovers

We went shopping for refreshments for my quilting group's get together tomorrow night. As we walked out the door the heavens opened up and we were soaked by the time we unloaded the cart into the car trunk!!

These refreshments mean more leftovers.. but a different type. Oh well... we will enjoy them. My rant yesterday didn't mean I disliked eating the leftovers but the fact that I can't seem to provide meals without them!

Now there are some that I really like and make more than enough so there will be leftovers. Soups are  in that category. Split pea soup will be on the menu shortly and a hamburger one too... and a beef stew.

But trying out recipes also leaves leftovers and if we don't really like the result.. we are still stuck with the leftovers.

The painting quote was even higher than our two guesses. The company will be sending a pdf  . Probably another company's lookie-see and quote would be a good idea.

More decluttering is on going.  

Cory Booker's fillibuster in the Senate lasted 25 hours!! He set a new record... over Strom Thurman's fillibuster against the Civil Rights bill!!

ps... read that the Democratic candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court won!!  ... In spite of all the $$ Musk spent ... hooray!
