    OK, since I think I'm back, I'll tell you the tale of my day. I had a date to meet my friend Karen at a Japanese restaurant at noon for lunch. I had to tutor today at 3, so I figured I'd have a little time to kill, but that was OK. Especially since I wanted to go computer shopping. I figured I...

    Help! I've got a new computer now, and I'm trying to figure it out! Eek! I'm so not a tech person. But at least, I think I've gotten back here agin.

    It's connected with spring, fertility, new life. Rabbits are known for their fertility, and eggs hatch into spring chicks. So, like the Christmas tree, it has little to do with the religious aspect and more to do with the Pagan traditions that Christianity adopted to convert Pagans to Christianity.

    Happy Easter, everyone. Here's an interesting egg from the collection my mom had that is now mine. Yesterday was the Easter egg hunt, and all 3 kids had a blast! The church where it was held went all out scattering plastic colored eggs with candy in them, toys, and trinkets on the lawn. There...

    When I tutored the new girl this evening, she told me about honeybees making blue honey because they ate M&Ms. I thought for sure she was making it up or confused, but look here! Pictures: Colored Honey Made by Candy-Eating French Bees

    Thanks, Uncle. We want to see the new movie when it comes out in April if it will be shown somewhere we can travel to.

    It's been so long since I mentioned tutoring that I should catch up. The latest is that I found a nearby Easter egg hunt for the original girl. She has mentioned wanting to do this for years, so I hope it works out. That's the 26th, the day before Easter. I'll get her and her siblings in the...

    Awsum, we have a real problem with mineral buildup, and I like vinegar, but I found hot vinegar works a lot better. Use it to clean out the coffeemaker, then use what's in the coffeemaker to clean that yellow sludge.

    I'm so far behind, maybe you have the problem solved, but if you don't, I've seen something like this -- Dare Wire Strainer Hot Dip Zinc Frame 1703 -- on the wires that hold up the grapes in the local vineyards. Would that work?

    I should catch you up to date on the tutoring, since it's been a while since I gave you any news, and Lizzie asked how the birthday party went. That was last Thursday, a combo for the boy and girl, whose birthdays are only a few days apart. I got chocolate cupcakes for the boys, a small carrot...

    Lizzie, I'm so sorry about Rusty! At least it was quick, and he didn't suffer for a long time. Not much consolation, I know. And getting a cold on top of it! Just go to bed and sleep. That's probably what I would do.

    Lizzie, though the snow right be a problem to get around, I think you are relishing all the water that will come from it.

    OK, I think I've found the gift for the girl. See DIY Painted Mugs - That Won't Wash Away {Craft} - Glued To My Crafts I'll buy cheap white mugs, a variety of colors of oil-based Sharpie pens, and when she has painted them, I'll bring them home and bake them for her.

    I thought of that. She doesn't want to make salt dough.

    I tutored today, and since some more news happened than recently, I want to tell you about it. The littlest boy is in a fret because last year, when his older sister and brother had their birthdays, just about a week apart, and I gave them gifts, I thought the little one might feel left out, so...

    I'm glad you're digging out, Awsum. Snow like that can be exciting, since it doesn't happen often, but it's a pain to clear away.
