Debbie K - I'm going to be making that coconut pie this weekend. In the directions is says to add vanilla but the ingredients don't list the vanilla. Can you check how much vanilla I need to use? Thanks! I'm excited to try it!!!! |

Thanks Debbie! I hear you - I wanted coconut and Nathan didn't. That's why I'm making 2 pies LOL! Coconut for me and lemon meringue for him :) |

Based upon a taste test of the filling the coconut pie is going to be amazing tomorrow!!!! |

You should have! I shared a piece with my mother in law. The rest of the pie was mine :) Sadly, the last piece will be eaten today. That was a delicious pie. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I think I could just make the filling and put it in a bowl. |

Whew - it was a busy, but fun day today. Yesterday we had 2 new calves born (one bull and one heifer) I'll post pictures of soon. One is a first timer so this morning was her very first milking. It wasn't too bad, but it slowed us down a bit. Usually that's not a problem, but today my niece was performing in a dance competition in Toledo. It's an hour an half drive and we needed to be there at 9:30am. (yup, we had to start very early!) We made it with just a few minutes to spare before she performed her solo ballet routine. We then had some lunch and visited a bit until she had to get ready for her group dances. She had 2 groups but we were only able to stay and watch one. They live in Michigan so we don't usually get to watch her. Today was a treat for all of us. She really enjoyed having us there and we really enjoyed watching! What's everyone else doing this weekend? |

I spent Friday morning and Saturday helping a friend of my daughter's pack up her apartment. Took a few loads of boxes to a storage unit for her. In the afternoon the guys took most of the furniture over. She has a few days until she can get in to her new place, so she is staying with us until probably Wednesday. Have my finger in a splint to protect it because while we were packing her up I jammed it trying to move something. This gal is a medic so she wrapped it right away to avoid swelling. It still swelled up and I can't bend it. I'm sure it will be fine once that goes down and it is no longer stiff. But we had a good time helping her. Hope you all had a great Easter. We were in PA with JT's family. Had car trouble coming home and had to stay an extra day. That's a story for a different day. Enjoy your Sunday Wildflowers! |

Oh Heather I am happy you were able to get away to watch your Neices Ballet recital. Family time is the best. Denise I hope your finger gets better soon, how it must hurt. Ice is the best for it and it does make it feel better. I am trying to teach myself to draw simple things like, flowers and birds. It is going to take me awhile to get anywhere near good. But, I have about 19 cards I want to make for our May Card Swap, so I am getting lots of practice. And I am having fun. Have a Beautiful Sunday Wildflowers. |

Denise - Ouch! I hope your finger is better soon.
Debbie - I know the feeling. I can do a lot of things but draw and paint is not one of them LOL! As long as you're having fun that's all that matters :)
Here's the sweet baby boy:

Here's the spunky baby girl:

And here's the beautiful ballerina:

Cute! She looks like she's having fun. So lucky, Denise, to have a medic 'on hand!' I whiled away most of Sunday indoors with my bike clamped into a stationary trainer, avoiding ominous clouds. (3.5 hours/40 miles) |

I hope you don't have too many of those indoor training days. That sounds like a long time to ride staring at the walls LOL! How long are you working up to riding? I think I remember you saying you were training for an iron man, but my brain isn't working the best right now so I could be wrong. |

Yay the swelling in the finger is starting to go down. I can't bend it yet but I'm all for a little progress. It is on a small splint because I don't want to hit it on something which inevitably I will do and have already done.
I forgot you were training Christine. Keep up the great work! |

Glad the swelling is going down, hopefully you get mobility back soon! 12 miles is my happy long distance ride too, maybe with a leisurely stop at a favorite coffee shop. I'm looking forward to mellowing out when I wrap up this "Let's Get Physical" badge series. Heather is totally overestimating me, this is only a half Ironman (Salem 70.3 in July). 56 miles will fly by A LOT faster with Oregon scenery, let's just hope it isn't raining. |

"Only a half ironman" There's no ONLY about it! That's quite a major accomplishment in my book!!! I'm not sure I could make it a half 5K right now LOL! And there's no biking or swimming in that. When I was training for the marathon I ran, I thought it would be awesome to do an ironman but I'm not a good swimmer and I don't have that much time to train. Instead I did the complete opposite. I took a break and never consistently got going again :( I'm hoping once rainy season is over to start running to the woods and back at least a couple times a week. I really did enjoy it. What do you like best - the running, swimming, or biking?
Ever since I was a little girl I've wanted a Massey Ferguson tractor. I don't have on yet, but right now there's one that keeps going past my living room window :) They're planting the field across the road and they have a beautiful Massey Ferguson. If I knew them better I'd go ask for a ride! |
