Getting ready to finish Easter dinner. I miss my children and my grand children during holidays like this. Famiy is what it's all about, it's sad not to have anywhere to go or people to enjoy the holiday with, but we made it through the day.
It won't be too long and I'll get to see my boy.

Need suggestions for audio books
Going to be driving a long distance here pretty soon, any recommendations??
Winter, Winter, go away, come again another day
I am tired of winter............the cold, the snow, the rain. It is April 7th and 22 degrees, with wind and rain and blowing snow. ????? Spring started a week or two ago, but I don't see it, did somebody forget to tell her it's time to come?
I talked to my little grandson who's 5 on Sunday, he mostly talked to Grandpa, for an hour! He was telling us it would snow, snow, snow, and rain and rain. He'd had snow fights with his mom, and made snow angels, but he didn't like the snow anymore, it worses him out. ???? I repeated that back to him, "It worses you out??" Noah::: "Yeah, and my mom, too!" How cute is that? I laughed and laughed over that. In his little boy way he was trying to tell me he had way more snow than he had activities to make it fun anymore and he was so over it.
My son in law says when Noah does his prayers at night, he remembers to pray for sunshine and summer. Isn't that cute, just in case God forgot that he was supposed to switch out the seasons for us.

Recipe Friday April 6, 2009 Lemon Whip Dessert
Lemon Whip Dessert
60 Ritz Crackers, crushed
1/2 c melted butter
1/2 c powdered sugar
12 oz tub cool whip
6 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Mix crackers, butte and sugar, mix well. Press all but 1/4 c. into a 9x13 pan. Mix remaining ingredients well with mixer. (I add food coloring to the mix depending on the color of lemonade I use, yellow for regular lemonade and red when I use pink lemonade, it is so springy looking) Pour over crumbs n pan. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over. Refrigerate. Ligh, cool and pretty. No strong lemon taste. 20-24 servings.
One of the MD's I worked with at the hospital was leaving a few years back, we had a pot luck for him on the weekend prior to his departure. I brought this dessert and the Alpo dip. He was quite the health conscious person. He ate most of the 6 quart crock pot full of alpo dip I made, plus half or better of this dessert. He kept telling me how light and fresh this was. I was surprised as ever!!

Update on Ron
Ron had a filter placed today to keep him from throwing a blood clot. He'll be on the ventilator until Monday or Tuesday. His vitals are stable, he's being fed enterally, or by a tube inserted in his mouth. They are also giving him liquid vitamins.
I'm pleased with the care he's receiving, the nurses are not overworked, they are staffed in a way that allows them to do their job and interact with family. That was one of the complaints I had when I left the floor, nurses can't be nurses because you have a 'bottom line' to consider.
Computers are my friend. I'll stop by and check on him tomorrow. I've been going every day, of course, but too busy to update. Thank you all for your prayers, kind words, text messages and calls. The prayers are felt, believe me.
