Easter day - April 16th

Happy Easter one and all!

A beautiful day here in New York. A bit on the chilly side ( at least in the apartment) but clear blue skies! Hope everyone is having a grand day: wearing your Easter bonnets and all...

It's quiet here: a lazy day filled with reading newspapers, working on paper work for our apartment voucher program, working in the sewing room on various projects and working on a new computer ( Yep, that one is me!) I now have my iMac G4 with flat screen ( really cool!) up and running with all my previous files transferred over. Here's a picture of her:


Lovely, isn't she? And I have more space on my desk now! Let's see how long that lasts! LOL. As usual, I experienced problems trying to transfer things. It frustrates the heck out of me when something that should be easy, turned out to be difficult for one reason or the other. I think God has fun watching me go crazy from time to time! This time I couldn't figure out how to transfer the files. When I finally figured it out I found I needed Doug's computer password. Of course, I threw out his telephone number when I cleaned up my desk area and Chris, who was the one who told me about the computer and Doug and gave me his number, didn't have it. And David wasn't home. Finally found the number in an email he sent me, but, just my luck... he wasn't home! Sigh. More hair pulling and God Laughing ( not at me, but with me... I'm sure!) Finally David called back and helped me reset the computer's password, making ME administrator of the computer and teaching me how to transfer the files. Took only over an hour to get my files and most applications transferred over! Now, spending time looking for and downloading applications I couldn't use on my old computer. I want to thank Chris for telling me about Doug and his computer, Doug for being so kind and selling it to me for a good price and David for helping with transferring my stuff. I really do appreciate all of you!

Oh man! I just saw a video of Rascal Flatt's SKIN. I'm weeping at the end of it almost everytime I hear it! Here's the lyrics: (courtesy of letssingit.com)

Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise just won't go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
And says will you please come with me

Sara Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think that we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes.

And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For just this morning, right here on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had all been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancing, around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

I remember Harry Chapin's "Tangled Up Puppet" would give me the same reaction.... I'd cry every time!... and give dad a big hug and kiss too!

Tilly's sleeping on my bed at the moment. She seems to prefer sleeping there this weekend. Fine with me.... I get to give her lots of kisses! Here's a few pictures for you:






That's my girl!

Well, it's 5 o'clock, gonna go get a snack. And then, who knows! Ham for Easter dinner tonight.

Hugs & kisses all around!

B out!
