I'm not having easter dinner this year, and I miss it when I cannot have the big dinner. But I plan on baking something fabulous and taking it, and so I am looking forward to that part. I've read a few posts from my fav bloggers today about spring making its presence felt -- its a good thing. I think we are all ready for a new season to begin. xx NancyStonecropsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339562848477978976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-57157838874571633042015-03-30T16:51:42.583-05:002015-03-30T16:51:42.583-05:00I know how you feel about eyebrows.

And having 14 for Easter - I feel your pain. I'm still dodging the bullets of having anyone (getting a little late now, but my sister in law won't commit, so we'll see).

Really makes a huge difference once it gets in your system. A friend of mine mentioned it this week too.<br /><br />Please don't be so self-critical! I used to be and it doesn't help. You are beautiful and a couple of "differences" makes you unique. We're all in the real world ~ not the world of make-up artists, hairdressers and air brushing. :)<br /><br />Hmmm, the pizza looks and sounds divine!

I've always found freckles endearing, nothing to hide. <br /><br /> As for the eyebrows, I don't have the patience for a brow pencil so people are stuck looking at mine as they are, which is thin and unperfect. In the grand scheme of things, this is one thing I don't have to fret about at all.

I ...Never too many pictures of flowers on any blog! I love them.<br />I had SO much to say--then, WHAM--- when you went to the thin eyebrows, I forgot everything else. Mine have always been thin, straggly, awful...ugh, and I have tried everything in the book. Now, my hair is silvering, and I can't find a pencil light enough that will still show up brows--so I do not know what to do! If I really go hard in on them--they look--AWFUL! Too dark--too "un-real!"<br /> My SIls had such bad ones they SHAVED them off and painted them on! OH! BAD. BAD. BAD! You can be sure I will never do that. My mom had very thin eyebrows too, and her only "must have" makeup was an eyebrow pencil. ha! She forgot it on her honeymoon, and Daddy would light up wooden matches for her, and she'd use the char on the end of the match to darken her brown. She said she knew it was true love when my daddy suggested that for her!(Blews Daddy!)<br /><br />I hope the Vitamin D prescrip helps. I had to take it like that last year, too...but it didn't help the problem I've been discussing with you. I got it back up to a good level, and now I take Vit. D3 OTC everyday. I wanted it to solve ALL my problems but I never felt any differently. Maybe you're not too far gone in every way--like I am! ;)<br /><br />There should be an e-mail for you--and I'm now on Instagram; if you have noticed I'm following you/your blog on it--so if you want, you could have the chance to see a "selfie" of me on my Instagram "page---which I only got for my grandson! lol Anyway--follow me if you'd like! I'm "out there!"<br /><br />You look like a 30-year-old in your selfie, by the way!

Amber had that and takes a prescription strength supplement and is hoping for some extra time in the sun this year!<br />I love Trader Joe's and was there yesterday! They do seem to hire the nicest people, don't they? The checker heard me tell Louis Dean (I was on the phone) to get some canned peaches at Sam's. It was a super quick call and when I hung up, the guy said he wanted to come to MY house! I asked if his mother made good peach cobbler and he said - firmly - "NO! But my grandmother did and taught me how!" We both use the same type of recipe. You make the patter and pour it into a pan that has melted butter in it and dump the peaches on top. The batter rises and covers the peaches as it bakes. He gave me a few hints on how HE made it even better and I gave him a few hints on how I make it even better! Put them together - we now have a killer peach cobbler recipe!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-60281532526129900492015-03-28T21:59:07.448-05:002015-03-28T21:59:07.448-05:00Isn't it funny how we never heard much about V...Isn't it funny how we never heard much about Vitamin D a few short years ago and now it seems to be responsible for everything including the ozone layer, ISIS and cellulite :). Your story reminded me a little bit of Brenda's. It took so long to get properly diagnosed, but oh what a relief it is! <br /><br />Those artichokes sound delish to this lemon lovin italian ;). <br /><br />I miss not being near a Trader Joes but when I go to NY about once a month sometimes I go back there, but mostly for the nuts. lol<br /><br />xxxDoreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.com
