Squirrel, a cramp in the foot without being able to walk it out would be unbearable. How horrible! On a happier note, how interesting that you and nursehamster met here and found out you are related, and now have learned you're both related to the same person. I know who you're talking about but I can't recall the name she used here. I'm not friends with her on Facebook but I do see her there occasionally, probably when she interacts with you and/or nursehamster.
Kat, the Shiloh Museum sounds like something I would enjoy and I'm pretty sure I'd have enjoyed the pie--unless it was a pumpkin pie. Pies are my favorite dessert. Glad you had a break in the rain so you could get out and walk.
Poirot, I feel for you as you have to go through all those reports. Wishing you could be done with that and also see some things flowering or turning green. But better it waits than come out too early and get bitten back, which is usually what happens to some things here.
Robin, I was wondering about the "worm" too. Glad Squirrel answered it. It's a good thing your stepmother doesn't have diabetes, since potatoes are about the worst thing for that. I can't believe you mail Easter baskets! I hope your grandkids realize what a treasure of a grandmother they have.
Wilde Woman, I wonder if you got above the 40s* today.
Speaking of which.....it stayed in the 40s* here and was very cloudy, breezy, and wet. I went to town and was gone from 10 till 4. Had several errands to do and stayed a long time in Walmart. We had only a couple of tenths of rain through the day but it has just now finished with a thunderstorm that brought it up to 3/4". There was almost no wind, just a nice rain with some thunder, which is still rumbling. There could be more rain to come.
I was so cold all day, getting in and out of the car, and I nearly froze in Walmart. One lady told me she'd gone to the restroom and after she washed her hands she stood there with the warm air blower on her hands because it felt sooo good. I was tempted to go in there and just blow warm air on my hands. I still feel chilled tonight. Had to carry in a bunch of groceries and stuff when I got home this afternoon, as it was sprinkling.
Oooh doggie, a BIG thunder just now!
