HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!
Last Sunday, we visited all the kids and grandkids to deliver their Easter Bunny gifts. We also stopped to visit my sister. She is in an assisted living memory care facility and had been having a sad few days. It is so hard to lose all your independence. Our visit brightened her day. Korbyn was the highlight for her. He is growing so fast, and to her, he was very heavy.
On Wednesday, my computer had a major malfunction/gremlin. First, none of my documents would open. Then, I clicked on the Edge logo to open the internet, and all Mr. Dollycas’s work tabs opened up, none of mine. He has never used this computer for anything except to help me when I do something dumb. I shut down the computer, hoping a restart would fix whatever was happening. Nope. Frustrated, I went to read a book. I came back about 45 minutes later. My husband had started a system restore, so I went back to my book. At least two hours later, I tried to get back to work, but I couldn’t log in to my blog’s dashboard, Amazon, GoodReads, or anything to do with Google. Because I could on my phone and on my laptop, we decided the computer was the problem.
We had been planning to upgrade my computer, with a mini desktop, because it had been having other issues, including running at the speed of a turtle. We were just waiting for a free weekend. Well, on Wednesday, we made the leap. The “tower” is tiny, more like a box. Because I have been saving almost everything to OneDrive/cloud, the transition was much smoother than expected. Things that weren’t in the cloud should be on my backup drive, but nothing urgently needs to be found, at least so far. Mr. Dollycas plans to work on the old one. The computer nerd in him wants to figure out why it did what it did; it’s a mystery he wants to solve, and you know we love mysteries.
Yesterday, we attended the birthday party for a sweet little lady. Miss Rylynn turns 1 on the 15th. She wasn’t too sure about her smash cake, just putting one finger on it for the frosting, but she loved it when we all sang Happy Birthday. This past year has passed so quickly. She has such a cute little personality and smile (when everyone isn’t trying to take her picture) 🙂 We are so blessed to have her, her sister, Natalie, and their parents in our lives.

Monday – My Reading Itinerary Monday! – Week #14 – 2026
March is always a hard month for me; I am happy to have it in the rear-view mirror. We have learned over the years that staying busy helps us power through the hard days of Kris’s birth and his death. Spending time with our grandchildren also helps, and they keep us pretty busy.
Last Friday night, we attended Kaden’s 2nd track meet of the year. His shot put distance improved, but he wasn’t happy because he threw much farther in practice.
Yesterday, Mr. Korbyn turned 6 months old. He is rolling everywhere, will be crawling soon, loves his bouncy chair, is in his 
Friday night, Kaden had his first track meet of the year, only about 20 minutes from our house, so Nana, Papa, Kaden’s mom, and Korbyn (Korbyn’s mom had a meeting she had to attend) were happy to make the trip. The nearby college has a wonderful indoor facility; in fact, it was where Remi played his last basketball tournament. Kaden throws the shot put and the discus, but the discus cannot be thrown indoors. While waiting for his “Flight” to throw, there was so much going on around us, pole vault, long jumps, and races on the track. This was my first time going to one of his meets. He always said not to come because his events go so quickly and there is a lot of waiting, but I had a great time and hope to attend several, as it is his Senior year. We will be attending Remi’s track meets, too.
