Happy Homemaker 2023-04-10

Good morning

Workwise:  the bad publicity we had with the new computer systems got the president fired.  We now have a new president.  We are still in 'crisis' for now.

Friday april 7th was ds's 30th birthday.  They came for supper and stayed the night.  They left Saturday morning and then we left for my parent's house to celebrate Easter with extended family and friends.  52 for lunch on Sunday. Got home Sunday night at 10:30.

Today will be a day to relax and just get ready for upcoming week.


Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

  2. It's great to read your blog and view the pictures. It expands my world beyond just the Netherlands. I've also sat in the sun, even if it was just for 10 minutes, and it made me happy too. And now onto your socks - are they finished yet? Who knows, maybe my scarf and your socks will be done at the same time. That would be fun!

  4. Happy Birthday to your son. Um, did you say 52 for Easter? Wowza. I come from a family of 5 and have been to some large family gatherings but I don't think ever had one quite that large unless it was a family reunion maybe. Hope your week is off to a great start!
