~SUNDAY BEST ~

I didn't even get to wish everyone a Happy Easter.  If yours was as nice as mine, you had a WONDERFUL time.

Easter Sunday was good except I could NOT walk..

A family gathering at Corona Del Mar was delightful..except..I had to hobble to the beach wall..and my daughters had to help me to a chair which they conveniently had situated  not too far from that wall.

I thought I could walk on sand better...WRONG!  It was like walking on stones.  

I couldn't walk in the sand to the shoreline, couldn't wade in the water..couldn't play with tiny great grandson...NOTHING!  

This is PH and I sitting on the sea wall, me in my Sunday best (I stole my son in law's hat trying to keep the sun out of my eyes..)

Sitting with my feet all propped up on a chair was all I could do.  Poor me...AGAIN!

My sweet daughter, Erin, practically carried me to a chair..even brought me a plate of food!   This senior citizen stuff is not half bad, especially when one's foot is out of order!  (Actually, this foot thing is driving me nuts!  It's one thing after another lately...you don't think..it has anything to do with...age.  Do you?? )

Did I tell you that we had a bit of a flood?  Yep.  A couple of inches of water in the bathroom and bedroom, soaking our new carpet.  I helped PH move dressers..and screwed up my foot by pushing against the wall with my feet and my back against the dresser...IN WATER!  LOL
Made for a great week! :)
NOT!
So...

Daughter in law, Cheryl, brought these from their bakery..and since they were sitting on the table right next to me..I made myself feel better every now and then with one of them.  Lets see, only half a box to go! :)

...and then of course there were these delicious tidbits right next to all the cupcakes..oh..and those were not the only cupcakes...three layers of lemon, lime cupcakes were further over just out of my reach!  Darn!!

See those big lemon cupcakes over there to the left??  Yep..out of reach!

My girls DO bake good things.

Sweet daughter brought me an Easter Lilly!  That's son in law, Brock in the background.

Just some of the family, a scruffy looking bunch, aren't we?  Some had already left when I remembered to take a picture of them.. Three of my daughters and two of my son's are in the picture. Two sons in law, one daughter in law and two grandson's.  At least 21 of my immediate family..that is, my children and grands and greats, are missing from the photo..all in other states and  I miss them.  

My daughter Sandy is at every family gathering in spirit and always will be.  We feel her presence.  I miss her little family terribly.  I wish they lived closer.

I love my family so much.
Love,
Mona

P.S.  Have I told you I am never, ever, going to get in an airplane again if I can help it?    I gamble every day by living in California.  Heh heh!!
Yeah, I know, it's not funny, is it?
