Day by Day

I am starting to believe more and more that when positive thoughts come into our minds, we are meant to act on them.  Nothing bad can come of good.  Why would a thought just pop into our heads, unless it was meant to do something for someone?  Call someone or text someone you haven't seen in awhile.  Drop a coffee off or bake something for someone.  Send some fruit or flowers to someone who has done something nice for you or just to someone because of who they are.  Write a nice note and leave it on a windshield or I have heard some people pay for the coffee for the car behind them in a drive through.  I will have to try that one.  You never know what you can do for someone else (that you know or don't know).

This will be the first year in twenty years without an official Easter Bunny....that's a pretty long run actually.  And yet they still want their baskets hidden (Bob's job-he hides them) and they still want candy, for the most part.  We will still go to.....yes.....the China Buffet...it has become a tradition that our kids will not let go away.  We always split Thanksgiving and Christmas as far as houses go, but Easter was our "get out and do a buffet" holiday.  We started classy and expensive....then one year we decided to do the all you can eat China Buffet.  Well, the kids liked it so much, it lives on.  It is a good variety of foods. I don't think they celebrate Easter in China.

I have skipped blogging from time to time, but this time I just can't get myself writing.  I have only blogged about three times this year.  There is so much I would like to write down so I can read it years from now and yet it is so fresh and new that I cannot get myself to write it down. So I think I will go to superficial stuff for now...good memories in the making.  Here are some of the things we did during Spring vacation this year:  It started with Keera having a list of what she wanted to do during the week.  We added some and pretty much accomplished almost all of them.  We drew and colored a mural of Yalesville (including the VEt down the road, Subway and the Laundry shop); we went to the beach; we went to Barnes and Noble (and bought cheesecake there too).  Fun stuff.  The two books I am currently reading are also on here...shout out to Aunt K. for the one book about Enough and the I picked up the other one today...very similar in natu...
