We&#8217;re all well here at Chez Buffy.  I&#8217;ve been busy working on taxes, and helping to settle Elegante Mother into her new digs.  I have been working on the edges of SPRING CLEANING&#8230;..emptying out boxes of papers I didn&#8217;t need to store in the first place, and reorganizing my &#8220;stuff.&#8221;<br \/>\nThings are starting to green up here in the Chicago suburbs.  The first of my daffodils opened yesterday, and the star magnolia is getting ready to burst into bloom.  Some miserable four-footed visitor has eaten the tops off the day lilies that are growing out in the herb garden, but they&#8217;re pretty hardy.  They&#8217;ll come back.<br \/>\nMy cranky old cat, Edward Scissorhands, had his annual checkup and shots last week.  He&#8217;s still hanging in there, but he&#8217;s painfully thin.  He&#8217;s delighted, as we all are, that it&#8217;s warmed up a bit so he can go out.  He used to stand near the door and quietly mew that he&#8217;d like to go out.  Now he stomps into my office and shouts &#8220;OUT!!!&#8221;<br \/>\nFrankie (from Just My Opinion) (my youngest sis), is here for several days, helping me sort through some of Elegante Mother&#8217;s things, visiting with My-Sister-The-Nurse, and joining us for Easter.  She&#8217;ll be taking her God-mother to visit with EM on Saturday.  I wish I had her energy.  I spent most of my time running to keep up with her!  I&#8217;m so glad she&#8217;s come to visit.<br \/>\nI need to help Dear Husband with dinner.  Last night we did Tortilla Soup, and tonight we are working on Chicken Fajitas.  It&#8217;s odd to have Mexican food two days in a row, but I doubt anyone will complain.  More sour cream, anyone???<br \/>\nIf I don&#8217;t make it back before Easter, I hope you all have a lovely day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, guys!
