Easter Sunday

 What a gorgeous day we had on Easter Sunday.  The sun was shining ... the birds were singing ... the Mexican La Bamba music one street over was blasting away!  I tried to think good thoughts, but gee whiz.  If "I" can hear it all the way over here, I rather imagine they are all deaf.  Please turn UP your hearing aid and turn DOWN the musica!!  We were serenaded most of the day, so it must have been an epic party!  

Mr. Cooper slept right through it!  

I tried to lay out in the sun for a bit, but someone had other ideas.  If you are sitting down, you are eligible for the ball game.  He rolls it in your general direction, then you have to get up out of the chair, go GET it, and roll it back.  His rolling aim isn't all that good.  After about ten times, we went back inside.  That's way too much exercise for me!!

I don't know why I went to the mailbox.  I'm still waiting for those Bank of America papers to sign ... 45 days later.  That's when I found this.  Anyone ever actually READ the medical charges sent to their insurance company?  This is one of the biggest scams I've ever seen.  Thankfully, I only went to this place once.  This is the bill that went to my insurance plan AFTER Medicare paid it, in spite of the 0.00 amount shown.  

I saw this doctor for about 20 minutes, changing a prescription.  That's it ... just write up a new prescription.  They charged me $320 for the office visit, an additional $244 to see the doctor, and a whopping $300 for the phone call it took to actually GET the prescription because they didn't call it in to the pharmacy.  These doctors are ripping off Medicare and my supplemental insurance the likes of which I have never seen.  They should go to jail for this!!  No doubt it was discounted, and this amount not paid, but truly, this is highway robbery!!  Next time I'll go to my Vet ... he's cheaper!!

In the hopes of feeling better about that, I went to check up on my tomatoes.  I'm not growing the big ones, just the little ones this year.  Look here ... flowers!!!

Then I spotted THIS!!  A TOMATO!!  I'm shocked that not only did they survive, but they are already putting out fruit!

Further inspection resulted in THESE!  I can't wait for them to turn bright red!  Hopefully that happens before I kill them.  My reputation for growing things isn't all that great!

AND SQUASH!!  I actually have squash coming up.  The other plant is shaded too much by the rose bush next door, so I haven't seen it yet.  Hopefully it too will be growing and blooming soon.  Now I'm thinking ... what can I plant next??

When I walked back in the house, excited over my newly growing goodies, I spotted this.  WHAT?  What are you doing on the back of the couch?  CAUGHT in the act!  You sir are NOT supposed to be perched on the back of the couch ... you are fifteen years old!!  I guess he was looking for me out the window.  

We cuddled on the couch for the rest of the afternoon while I sewed the binding on yet another quilt.  I think this makes six?  

It was a lovely day, filled with a tasty ham sandwich, deviled eggs and a REAL peanut butter cookie to celebrate!  

Tonight I'm headed to the Quilters Guild to explain why they only got half of their requested money from the Elks Lodge.  The other half was put aside for me to purchase fabric for all these quilts I'm making.  Ummmm I don't think they are too happy about that.  Hopefully I can smooth it over.  Wish me luck!
