Good afternoon. Busy weekend so far. Went over to son & DIL's house to help my son prune a young magnolia shrub to slowly turn it into a tree.  I started at the bottom so we could remove all branches/twigs growing inward & some on the lowest parts growing outward. We removed one trunk that was right next to another as they were already rubbing together. I decided that another trunk should be removed but we will do that next year. Next year we can focus on the upper part of the tree too. I did want to do a drastic pruning. 

Then we went out to eat for an early Mother's Day celebration. My youngest son also joined us. 

I'll be going back tomorrow to prune winter damage off some roses they have. My DIL loved the shrub rose I bought. 

Today I gassed up the car & visited the further away market. Now I'm home & have to make chicken meatballs for tomorrow & wil make some quick bread muffins with mini chocolate chips, walnuts & will add a Tsp. of coconut extract just to see how it tastes with the banana flavoring of the mix. 

Have a relaxing Sunday.

Good evening.  Today I met DD for lunch and then we went to the movies.  Saw The Devil Wears Prada 2 - what a fun movie.  The fashions!  Oh my!   Meryl Streep, of course, was great and so was Anne Hathaway.  Emily Blunt was good too.  Glad we saw it on the big screen.  Then I came home and now I'm relaxing for the evening.

Hope everyone had a good Sunday

hey all. it's been semi-chaos since the last time I posted. we've had "shower workers" here over the weekend. they had to replace the door going into the bathroom because it was defective. it had to be painted, then installed. the new towel rods were put up and the toilet paper holder that had been taken off the wall had to be put back on. the toilet paper holder turned out to be ridiculously complicated because the part that is screw3d into the drywall was loose and they had to patch the wall, secure the anchoring part and repaint. all we are waiting on now is the glass.

I have started moving things back into the bathroom little by little. I can see that a huge purge will be coming up.

this morning I decided to use the new shower to wash my hair, glass or no glass. I figured it would get water everywhere so I just put towels down on the floor, but it actually wasn't anywhere near as messy as I thought it would be. it was so nice to have room to actually move around and not feel like I was confined to a 1960s phone booth.

DH filled my car up this morning, even though I only needed a few gallons. it was over $30 for 6 gallons.

I'll catch up here and BBL.
