    Hi hermits- just got home from a great night of music featuring this gentleman, John Proulx. Love his piano and his voice. 

    Ducky- congrats on the Upsee arrival and Grayson's venture into her new mobility. How wonderful and let us know how she is doing?

    Sally- sorry to hear about the pneumonia. Take it easy and feel better soon.

    Wishing everyone else here a very lovely and restful weekend. And without any snow! Happy

    Hi hermits- went to see Gravity at the dollar theater tonight. One of those movies you need to see on the big screen. If I ever had aspirations of being an astronaut, they are definitely over after this movie. Good flick! 

    Your boyfriend, George Clooney, is in it Teka.

    Teka he's in it for like 5 minutes, not enough for me that's for sure.

    Morning all.

    How nice to wake up to some darling Easter picture posters.  The coffee cat was cute too.

    I slept through the night for the first time in over a week, so I hope that means my pneumonia is on the run.

    I hope everyone has an enjoyable week end.

    Teka- Sandra Bullock is very good in this. She gets even better with time! Cami is right, George is not in the movie as long. She is the main character. That is all I will tell you since you will wait to see it on TV (this is my norm too...)

    Happy Saturday. T-storms forcasted here today but waking up to sunshine.

    Oh and I did end up going to the happy hour last night and it was okay. My client and her husband were there along with a few people from work, so we had good conversation, and liked all the people there. The kids did not come until later, and they were fine too. I have not seen them in three years and they are so much more grown up now. I stayed for an hour and a half and they were continuing on to drink and hang out, so I did my thing and went on my way to the movies. It was all good.

    Sally glad u slept all night that is a great start to recovery so it's a good sign.

    Blondie ... thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon.

    Teka ... your Twain quote is providing me with some deep thinking ... every once in a while I find deep thinking fun.

    Wishing everyone a good Easter. The season of rebirth, renewal, resurrection. May we all feel some of that today.

    Blessings to the friends here not feeling well (Blondie) or getting better from other maladies (Sally).

    Thanks Ladies.......You can get a better feel from this picture how the Upsee works........the strap is attached to her fathers waist.....then there is another strap around his thighs.......at his feet he has more straps and the place where Grayson puts her feet has 2 straps attached to her father's.........as he lifts his feet, hers lift too, so that each step he takes her feet and legs move forward with his..........anyone who does the Upsee with her has to take tiny steps to keep in line with hers which are small............without the aid of this Upsee she can not stand up.......her "core" is too weak to hold her up.......you can also see the vest like contraption that goes on her body.................this woman is amazing who invented this, and she is from Ireland...........we are so grateful that she made this possible for Grayson..........who knows, one day maybe she will do this alone....

    If anyone would like to show this on Insomniac's I would appreciate it.....many there would love to see Grayson standing and being aided in walking.....thanks......

    Hope everyone here had a good day. Brunch was good, lots of tasty foods and nice time with friend and her daughter. 

    Now watching the very end of The Lone Ranger. I needed my Johnny Dep fix. That wraps up my movie watching for this weekend.

    Ducky- so great to see Grayson doing her Easter egg hunt. What a beautiful day for your family.

    Jazzy it was.....so wonderful to see her being able to stand up.....it is only for a few minutes maybe 10 to begin with, but she is doing it, and that makes it wonderful.......
