 |
| Good friends add EXTRA HAPPY to my life! I went for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY lunch with friend Brenda, last Thursday… then ran into my friend, Gailene and went for a coffee with her… she is super happy, too as she just welcomed a new grandson into her world on the weekend. Friday I visited my friend, Ella, who is nursing herself back to health after a bout of pneumonia… and look at the flowers she got… those would make any one happy… they are so EXTRA special, from an EXTRA special someone in her life. |
 |
| We enjoyed an EXTRA SPECIAL BBQ supper last week with these two friends… Robin and Alex… they are soon to tie the knot… that will be an EXTRA HAPPY day for sure! |
 |
| Friday was an EXTRA HAPPY day for my father-in-law… when he celebrated his 89th BIRTHDAY. He loved having family around to help him celebrate it, too... I consider myself EXTRA lucky to have such a wonderful FATHER-IN LAW in my life! |
 |
| Greg's HAPPY BIRTHDAY celebration with lots of family around! |
 |
| More HAPPY BIRTHDAY FUN! |
 |
| BEAU loved these EXTRA HAPPY Bunny glasses on Friday while decorating EGGS here! |
 |
| More EXTRA "EGGS-TRA" HAPPY here…. Friday EGG painting with my grandkids and niece, Rowen… EGGS-TRA Special traditions continue year after year! Beau painted the most eggs, but his were all yellow! |
 |
| Beau and I were the only ones who wanted to wear the EGGS-STRA Fun Glasses… some BUNNY wanted to have a little EXTRA HAPPY! |
 |
| Saturday night… Mariah and Beau came and spent the evening here. while their mommy and daddy could have an EXTRA HAPPY Date night! Mariah loves to play with Shuffle… Beau was doing an EASTER PARADE… which included not only easter ornaments… but also snowmen, too!!! (Kinda went with the EXTRA SNOWY weather we had this Easter!) |
 |
| Some BUNNY-else wanted to get in on the EXTRA HAPPY Easter fun! Shuffle , my diva dog… loves to dress up for all occasions! |
 |
| EXTRA HAPPY EASTER TREATS for Beau and Mariah! Did not craft cards this year… printer is out of ink! |
 |
| Beau and Mariah were EXTRA HAPPY to pose for this photo yesterday when they came for Easter supper here! |
 |
| They were extra happy with all the treats and treasures they found… and lots of EGGS-TRA EGGS, too! |
 |
| From Fuddruckers in the morning to supper in the evening… EASTER had a lot of EXTRA- EGGS-TRA HAPPY in it! Unfortunately our friends, Jacquie and Ella were both sick and missed out on the fun! Steve's Cindy was out of town so also missed out! |
 |
| We had an EXTRA HAPPY crew joining us for Easter supper… We really HAMMED it up big time this year! With friends, Steve and son, Billy, and our friend, Vern… along with Jana, Nels and the grandkids, too… EGGS-TRA EXTRA HAPPY times were had by all! |
 |
| Extra flowers, too… I had tulips already… but Vern brought some more tulips… and brother Brian popped by with a couple of big bouquets of artificial flowers on route to brother Bob's yesterday for his Easter supper there. He dropped off EXTRA special CDs from his "SUNBAND" days in the 70s-80s! He always brings many EXTRA treasures with him… He has an extra special heart! This blog post has a lot of EXTRA… in it… From Birthday to Easter fun… and more! Thanks for "HOPPING" by for this edition of my blog… it has been and EXTRA busy week filled to the brim with a "BASKET" of fun. The pictures pretty much speak for them selves… In fact I take so many (as you all likely know)… that I sometimes run out of room on my iPhone and take some on the camera until more space is cleared on the the phone again…I do like to capture everything… there is something EXTRA special about getting that little EXTRA photo here and there…if you see what I mean! From a nice BBQ with friends, Robin and Alex… to birthday celebrations, coffee outings and more… this past week was full. We did have lots more times with the grandkids too… and today will have more. With this week being a school break, I will have some more time with the grand kiddies. I know Beau is coming to hang out here today… and maybe Mariah too… but she was going to go to her mommy's store and work with her, so we will see how the day plays out later! Also this past week, we were excited to hear from son, Colin, when he was on route to his band tour. He is doing a tour in the states, starting in New York… with his punk band… apparently there are some punk festivals on now throughout the states. He sounded super excited… so his enthusiasm always makes us EXTRA HAPPY, too. I have not made the gym too often lately… but with all the EXTRA EGGS… EGG-CETRA… that I have been eating I might need a few EXTRA trips to the gym this week! I have been missing my good gym buddy, Ella, as she recoups from being ill this past week. It's always more fun with her there… but still no EGGS-CUSE for me not going! Our good buddy, Vern hits a milestone tomorrow when he turns 65… we will hopefully do some EXTRA celebrations for him this week, too. Also celebrating birthdays this week are… my nephew, Jeff on the 26th… and next week Colin's girlfriend, Caro celebrates a birthday on the 30th! I wish all of them lots of EXTRA HAPPY on their special days! Soon our house will be filled with EXTRA HAPPY when Beau arrives for the day… so on that note… her is my poem for today…. Between EASTER and BIRTHDAYS… This past week was EXTRA EGGS-TRA FUN, From all the little EXTRA stuff that we have done! Spending time with family and with friends is a great way, To keep that HAPPY feeling… in every single day. Friends, Family… and yummy food, Whether dining in or out, It's all about the shared fun, and happiness no doubt! Regardless of the weather… through puddles or through snow, EASTER was a fun one, as our Easters go! |
