The huge pan of corned beef hash I made has been deemed a total success.  Berst part is that the boys were not here, so we have an oval bowl filled with the leftovers for later or tomorrow.  Now we just need to get some more eggs to fry and put over the hash.  I had to laugh.  That was the first time Elaine had ever had hash and now she wants to know how to make it.  I find it funny that I am teaching her to make so many new things that she never heard of before.


G&E are off on a quest.  I remember each year during Lent Entenmann's used to make the most delicious hot cross buns, but for some reason stopped making them.  Anyone else like hot cross buns?  Elaine decided that if they can't find any, she's going to make a batch this afternoon.   Good for her.  I have a recipe too, but my day in the kitchen is over.


Bill - I don't think we've been back to Cheddar's since that time we went with you and Rita.  We really do need to get back there again real soon, as we did enjoy it there.  Maybe one night this week when G&E are back meeting with contractors and we're the only ones home.  That would be either Tuesday or Wednesday.


Kathie - So glad to hear that you are feeling better today.  It's definitely no fun when your butt is dragging and you really don't know why.  Good idea calling your cardiologist to get checked out.  Tomorrow I see my pulmonologist for the first time since last time in the hospital.  I'm sure this isn't going to be an in and out visit like normal.  I'll have so much to go over with him.  I also plan to tell him about the terrible care at that other hospital, even though they are part of the same system.


Nancy - I've only seen one coral snake since we moved to Florida 38 years ago and that was within the first month in Ocala.  Since then we've seen rattlers and in t his area we've seen water moccasins with the lake so close.  I get mad when Bert leaves the front door open when he is getting stuff out of the car or going to the mail box.  It's so  easy for a snake to slip in.  Heck, we had a 3 foot rat snake in our house in Ocala for at least 5 days before Laurie spotted it and removed it.  Both the dog & cat never saw it!!


Bert's getting ready to abandon me also to do some running around.  I'm not going with him this time, as I'm hoping for a phone call from my SIL.  We've been playing phone tag the past two days.  It's going to be hard enough to talk to her this week, but she wants to let me know when she and some of the family will be in Florida in April.  I'm thinking spring break and that's the week after Easter in NJ, but I want to make sure.  There's another part of the family, my god daughter, that I want to mend some fences with.  All this fence mending, which is soooo Irish, is wearing me out, but I am feeling better doing it!


Time now for a glass of wine and enjoy the quiet in the house right now before everyone gets back by 6:00.  Later, gang!!
