Came in #3 this week. I’ve actually been in the Top 3 fifty-three times.

Listened to a podcast in Spanish and looked up some words.

OYB!

Cloudy and cool.

Español!

Interesting clouds while I walked 1.25 miles.

Took my Mom on Safari to Clarkston, Decatur and the BHFM! Fantastic Indian food at Masala at the Patel Brothers shopping center.

Her sweet favorite Vietnamese coffee.

I sent my phone back to ATT today. Had to get a receipt of shipping at the Post Office. It was so weird, I went into the lobby and no customers were there. I thought that was awesome. Then I realized there were also no Post Office Employees either! What?! I rang the bell. Buzzer. Yelled. Finally, someone came up from around the back. Super bizarre.

The buildings across from Azalea continue to evolve.

Nana and I took Everly to Chic-Fil-A. Penelope had to stay in with her Dad. They’re still both contagious.

We took a tour of the Huntley Hills are where Everly goes to school.

Then back to Azalea.

The little Pink Magnolia seems to be doing well after her transplant.

I helped the kids with their homework. Nana stayed outside with me.

My house went up in value by $25,000 last year. It increased my taxes by about $100/month.

The grass was getting high because of the birdseed and the rain. Had to hoe that stuff down.

Over 2.25″ of rain last couple of days.

Seems like the week always starts with a lot of effort by people. I just make about the same amount every day.

Happy EASTER! He’s not dead! He is risen!

Keep working.

A couple of my favorite Spanish podcasts.

Always new words.

OYB!

Walked 1.28 miles.

Put new batteries into Everly’s camera.

Miles and Penelope went to the doctor. They both got on medicine and have to stay home for at least one day.

Egg hunt for Everly.

Great to have Ashley and Nana here!

Beautiful weather. Little on the cool side for me.

Got my Medicare card in. Amen.

Added windshield wiper fluid to my car.

Picked up Thai food for lunch.

My new raccoon shirt came in. Everly helped me pick it out.

Should come in #3 on Duolingo this week.

I got my replacement iPhone for my 11 Pro Max yesterday. Spent a couple of hours loading everything on my old phone onto my new one. Apple makes it easy.

Everything is backed up and then put on the new phone.

I’m enjoying listening to these podcasts in Spanish.

OYB!

Español!

I went for a walk and got caught in the rain. K came to get me.

Penelope had a 102 degree temperature this morning. I helped set up an appointment for Miles to take her to the doctor. Unfortunately, they didn’t take his insurance. They’ll go in tomorrow instead.

Nana, K, Everly, and I went to M&J for lunch.

Sewed a hole up in my map jacket.

Set up an appointment with my buddy Matt Johns for April 20th.

I used my new phone a whole day to verify everything is ok. I zeroed my old one out to factory settings. Boxed it up and got it ready to take to the Post Office on Monday.

I’ll have to get a shipping and tracking receipt to prove to them I sent it in.

Released Verbal Surgery “Splash Damage.” today.

Interesting!

Most of the rain was north of us.

Español!

Everly and Penelope being Nana’s doctor.

OYB!

Walked 1.27 miles.

Packages for Ashley!

Miles came by today to see the girls and bring Everly more of her antibiotic.

Everly took a nap a little later.

Took Jessi to the ENT doctor. He thinks that she is having allergy problems. Gave us some ideas what to do to help.

Nana and I went to Goodwill with the girls. We got a few other little things. Then went to Brewsters for ice cream.

I got my replacement phone in today.

It’s pretty straightforward to get the information transferred. Weirdly, Duolingo is taking the longest to get in place.

Good to see my new phone on the way. Tired of this dimming problem.

Good medicine for K.

Radio from Spain.

OYB!

I back up my iPhone every day. When I get my new one in, it should be almost identical.

The girls have enjoyed playing with their new toys.

Yummy!

Cloudy and warm.

Español!

Beauty.

Good 1.73 mile walk.

My nemesis.

Vacuumed the house.

Blew the driveway.

LT for lunch.

Birthday party!

Bill.

My water hose burst. They’re so crappy now. This was the fifth time to replace this hose.

Called the doctor’s office to doublecheck that we were scheduled for tomorrow at the ENT appointment.

Penelope’s eyes were stinging. She’s been fighting a fever for the last several days.

Two of my little rose bushes are blooming.

Ordered some new sunglasses. Not sure where I lost my other pair. Weird.

Wow!

I got in touch with my buddy Dan yesterday. He just got back from Antarctica.

Listened to a podcast from Spain.

Glad to hear the girls all slept well!

Nana had gifts for them!

Español!

Penelope drew some pictures for Nana while we were waiting for our food at Waffle House.

Went to the Dollar Tree to buy art supplies and toys.

Getting hot!

Got my tax return signed and sent back in.

Just keep going!

Gassed up my car and checked the oil.

Penelope was running a fever. Went to Walmart to get her some ibuprofen. She also has a sore throat.

She seemed better after the medicine kicked in.

My phone has been having a problem where it dims when I get outside. It’s almost unusable! I called the insurance and I’m having the phone replaced with another one the same model. I may upgrade my phone to another eventually, but this way I’ll give the newer one to Kathy.

The girls have fun playing with Nana.

K and Penelope are quite the pair.

OYB!

Fun day. Glad Penelope was feeling better.

Six years! Nearly three years straight!

Big day for Trump.

Interesting words.

OYB!

Español! Giant competition this week.

Good talk with my buddy Anthony. He always makes me laugh.

Cloudy.

Walked 1.25 miles.

Listened to La Ventana in Spanish.

Went to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) today to pick up my Mom. She flew in on Southwest from Austin, TX.

Talked to the folks at the desk at Southwest. Got my gate pass to go through to security and on to Gate C6. I once walked the entire length of just the Domestic Terminal. Want to guess how far it was?
Over 6 MILES.

Picked up the wheelchair for my Mom. Only in Merica.

It’s the busiest airport in the world.

I used an app to track my Mom’s flight from Texas. Literally showed me where the plane was at all times.

Till it pulled up to the gate.

I got my Mom a praline from Savannah Sweets. They’re her favorite.

GREAT to have her back!

Happy Reunion!

We had the girls come spend the night with us. Stopped at my office to check the mail and water my tree.

Good hugs.

Beauty.

I hope Nana sleeps ok with the girls in the bed with her.

Reading this post you may have noticed that I started going with the L size pictures rather than the S size. I think I like the bigger ones better. See more detail. Interesting how my taste changes. The pictures may be too large on some monitors. Another detail to explore.

Finished in the top three.

OYB!

Español!

Cooler today.

I went to Azalea to watch the kids for Spring Break. Sadly, Everly was still running a temperature so I didn’t stay. I was afraid of getting sick and getting my
Mom sick. Sure did make me sad. I knew the girls would be terribly disappointed. Later I saw Everly had taken a nap. GREAT to see that. She’ll go into the doctor tomorrow morning at 8:45 am.

Listened to radio from Spain.

Went to my office to check the mail. Processed checks. Then went to the bank to deposit them.

I was waiting for this email from Southwest about Nana’s flight to the ATL tomorrow. I had to wait until 2:05 PM to print out the confirmation.

Jessi did a cleaning of our pantry cupboards. I packed everything up and took it to Goodwill this morning.

I need to get the oil changed in my car. Called T&G about it. It’ll have to wait. They’re packed out.

Called Ashley so I could talk to the girls about missing today. We were all super sad about it. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

I got this Van Gogh shirt yesterday. It was too big. I sent it back.

Got my Mom’s ticket printed out. Sent and email to my brother so she could print it for her.

Lots of people started out hard today. We’ll see if they last.

I’m watching a show from Colombia set in the 1850s called Las Villamizar on Netflix. It’s about three sisters who want revenge for Spanish soldiers killing their mother. I’m really enjoying it. In Spanish.

Passover starts this Wednesday.

Cleared off enough to ride this afternoon. Very windy.
