Happy weekend to all you bloggers!

Congrats to final payment to Wentworth. Leah, not a problem, write whenever. Wishing great Spring weather to all Bostonians.

Talk to you soon, Judie

Sad unless Trisha joins our blog!

And we are sad because our blog is not going as well as it should. I will add a happy smiley when a couple of people post on our blog a little more frequently. Think of the joy of communicating from one coast to the other. Think of the fun blogging with someone from another country. We very much look forward to the Maloneys blogging with us. Love, Judie

ooney/Maloney Blog:

A brief note about Emily. She sounded good on the phone. She has to have oxygen 24/7. She is coughing up stuff to keep her from getting pneumonia. She will probably try and go home to Charleston in a few days but needs to come back next week to see the doctor. The results of the biopsy studies will probably take another week. I think I will e-mail Paul.

It is great weather here. 70s and sunny on the weekend and 80s and sunny this week. We have two flowering trees in our rotary drive.

Talk to you soon, Love Judie

Regarding Emily-

A quick note Debbie. Emily went into the hospital today for her lung biopsy. This is to determine what the reactivated fibrosis and cysts are about. She will be inpatient for three days. She is, of course, very worried. I already e-mailed Bill and Trisha about this and am hoping that they were able to call her before she went inpatient.

Happy Birthday to Emily

Greetings my fellow bloggers! I shall email Trish and ask her to send us any updated correspondance from Sarah. Leah: has Sarah posted any pictures on my space? Judie: I love the flashing lady bug. The Easter bunny brought Leah a green thermos decorated with lady bugs to use for drinking water - the thermos comes with straws! Needless to say, Leah loved the thermos! WE ARE DESPERATE for SPRING. The sun has been shining but the temps are positively frigid! For Easter, I cooked some fish - individual packets of white fish with sliced zucchini, sliced shallots, chopped orange pepper, sliced lemon and baked at 450 for 15 minutes - delicious - simple, healthy and quite tasty. I steamed brown rice and added chopped parsley and served the fish/vegetable mixture over the brown rice. I brought this dinner to my mother in the nursing home and wheeled her up to a table in the dining hall and Bill and I ate with her. I was surprised at how much she ate and I think she was pleased that she had some "home made food". Bill and I then went to Leah's boyfriend's house for dessert and chatted it up with Lee's family - a huge gathering - several aunts, uncles, cousins.

I am thinking of Emily today and will see if Bill can give her a call to wish her a happy birthday. Talk to everyone later!

Debbie

P.S. Leah - you had better come and pick up your candy box real soon as I am so tempted to dive into the box!

This is for Leah for guessing the Easter quiz. We had a beautiful Easter day, sunny, 70 degrees. Went to Red Lobster for a wonderful dinner. Sirloin and grilled shrimp in a lobster butter sauce. We are back into Winter with snow, cold, wind, etc. It is 40 degrees today but will be 70 and sunny again by the weekend. This kind of temperature change sure can make you sick if you are not careful.

I am very much looking forward to my sister, Trisha, putting a post on this blog.

Sarah, What are you up to in the Outback? Any Wallabees? Love, Judie

Easter quiz

Hi All!

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade. I'll be all in clover and when they look you over, I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade. Oh, I would write a sonnet about your _____ _____ and of the girl I'm taking to the Easter parade.


Anyone who can fill in the blanks above from the Irving Berlin lyrics of Easter Parade will receive an Easter basket full of chocolate eggs, etc. It may not reach you before the holiday on Sunday, but it will reach you shortly thereafter.


Peeps anyone? Judie

Where the Hell Is Spring?

Judie - love your posts! Hopefully we will hear from Leah maybe by next week. She is way too stressed with her project and getting ready for her next project. Lee Bonarrigo is having his gallbladder removed as we speak. He is a patient at Milton Hospital and hopefully will be going home to recuperate later today. Leah is busy at school, but I will be dashing over to Wentworth at the end of my work day and grabbing Leah - will give her the biggest hug and kiss as I think she sorely needs that! I will bring her back to Milton so that she can visit with the patient and I will scoot over to the nursing home to visit my mother who is recovering from hip surgery! I will then dash back to Milton and pick up Leah and bring her back to school where she will remain for the weekend!

The weather is just plain dismal. Rainy, windy, chilly - day after day - it is pitiful! It will rain tomorrow, maybe clear on Sunday and then rain again next week - yuck!

I hope that we can post a few pictures of the Maloney's new dogs - that is right - 2 labs named Madison and Brewster. We need some photos on our blog.

You can forget about the men blogging - I guess it is true that "real men" don't blog.

Here is to better weather - more spring-like - we are desperate!

Thanks Judie for your great post! I do believe we need more pictures of people and animals. Hope to hear from Sarah.

Let's inject some life blood into this blog!

Hi All!

Let's get on that bandwagon and keep
this blog alive! There are no limits to
what this blog can become. The only
thing that is going to disable this puppy
is to not communicate on it. Andy, are
you reading this? If not, why not!

Sarah, you have shared many photos and experiences with us. You are leading the most exciting life of anyone on this blog. We do appreciate when you can share more with us. P.S., Sarah, when are you back in Massachusetts and do you have a job lined up for the Summer?

Hi Leah! You got this blog going. We look forward to your next edition. Trisha-Oh my god! I cannot imagine what is holding you back from joining Debbie and my mutual admiration society. You have great knowledge and humor and could really help us out here. This is not pressure pressure, it is just "labor of love" pressure. Who else: Bill, wake up and smell the roses this Spring. Share some insight with us dreary demons! Have I made myself clear? Debbie is going to do a salsa dance in honor of those of you who have not joined the blog yet. If that doesn't get you going, nothing will!

Have a wonderful (hopefully Spring-like) weekend. Love Judie
