Getting a new Apple for my birthday! You know, the kind with a bite already taken out of it. My first NEW laptop as the last two have been hand-me-downs. Can’t believe I’m getting a brand new Apple MacBook Pro! Going to go from Word for Mac 2001 to Mac Word 2011. Whoa! It’ll be like learning how to write all over again! But I’m excited. Probably not the best time to switch over as I’m finishing three books, but here it goes. The old G3 is jealous, refused to copy files to my flash drive and blacked out on me yesterday. It knows something is up!

Here is a video of my interview with Jim MacCallum. It will be playing all month long here on ATMC’s local channel. They asked me some great questions and it was such and honor to be interviewed by them. Let me know what you think!

Sandy and I went for a bike ride this morning over to the Island. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos, it is really gorgeous around Sunset Beach. The plants are all in bloom and the weather is just perfection. Take a look!

This past weekend my daughter and I went to Charlotte for her bi-yearly CT scan, assuring that her cancer remains in remission. We made a weekend out of the trip and went shopping at South Park Mall, where she bought me an early Mother’s Day present–new Skechers!

We revisited a great restaurant, Thai Taste on East Blvd., but the food was so tempting we forgot to get any pictures of it. And we had a wild mushroom pizza at California Pizza Kitchen–yum! We also ate that before we could get any pictures, which is why we only have a picture of the box!

Kim got up bright and early to be the first one in the waiting room to get her scan (see picture below!) We got wonderful news and we even puzzled the doctor with how well she’s doing! We don’t have to go back for another six months, and after that we get to go yearly (the 5-year mark, yay!). Next trip, we’ll try to remember to get pictures of the food!

First ride of the year on the island. Down by Palm Cove–awesome day! Paradise is back, I’ve lost the urge to pack my bags for Florida, finally. Here’s a photo from our ride this morning.

I had a blonde moment today when I checked the weather on my phone and it said 16 degrees! Somehow it must have gotten switched to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.

I thought our anniversary plans would be ruined with 16 degree weather. Luckily, it will be closer to 60 degrees and the light drizzling will stop soon. Our anniversary dinner will be a homemade juicy cheeseburger on the grill with champagne of course! 21 years and looking forward to many more.

Happy Easter! We got up early and went to the sunrise service on Sunset Beach, it sure was cold! I think they generally expect Easter morning to be a little bit warmer!

Now it’s time for a nap and then Easter dinner with some champagne (no more Lent!)
