1. No foolin'! April is here. What's one fun thing on your April calendar? 

If all goes as planned, we are heading to Georgia for my great-nieces wedding. Obviously my sister, brother in law and the rest of their family will be there. I haven't seen any of them since the pandemic. 

To make things even better, Adam, Gabby and James are going too. I get to show off James to everyone. Of course Gabby hasn't met them yet either so it should be a lot of fun. 

2. It's often said, 'A fool and his money are soon parted'...what's the last thing you wasted money on? 

I've wasted some money on a few dresses for the wedding. All of the tops that I wear are LuLaRoe. It started years ago when a women I bowled with started selling them. 

Anyway, the sale was excellent and the free shipping was too good to pass up. Anyway, they are going to go to the Salvation Army so I still need to find something to wear to the wedding. I'll be heading to Macy's. 

3.  April 2nd is National DIY day. Are you a do-it yourself kind of person or maybe you're married to one? If so, what's the last thing you DIY-ed. If you're not a DIY-er what's the most recent job you had to hire someone to complete? 

The only DIY I do is the housework, laundry and cooking. Mark is pretty good and doing everything there is to do outside. We do have someone mow our front lawn and we will call someone if we need a tree trimmed. 

4. Do you eat lamb? If so do you have a favorite dish that calls for lamb?

I am pretty sure I have eaten lamb when I was younger but I've never made it.  

5. Do you fit a stereotype in some way? Explain.

I haven't got a clue and I read all the I could online about what they are like. You tell me, am I one? 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

So if you didn't see my post from Friday about James, check it out HERE

Well, I have more......

This wasn't the award he received that I mentioned in that post, this was another one he had brought home one day.  

This is the one he received on Friday with Adam and Gabby in attendance. This one says "Guin Foss Elementary School Presents this Dolphin Award to James Pucci on March 28th, 2025." It is for......

"Their dedication to doing their best every day and leading by example makes our school a better place."

This next photo is James at soccer on Saturday. We were not there to see this but he got 4 goals! Look at this photo that Adam or Gabby got of him. 


One last thing. With all that I have going on, there are some days I don't get around to reading blogs and then there are close to 100 to read the next day. I just can't do it anymore and I'm sorry if I don't get around to reading all of your posts. Love you guys!

WHAT A BLESSING AND JOY ....

It is always wonderful watching Adam and Gabby being parents to James. He is so blessed to have them as his parents. He was on Spring break and they made sure he enjoyed it.

Adam took him to Knott's Berry Farm one day.




Then Adam and Gabby took him to see a hockey game. 

He also was given a free hat.


James also was able to spend a day at the Great Wolf Lodge with friends one day. 
.

Also, he had a project at school for St. Patrick's day
which I hadn't shared with you.



We also went to visit with Adam and James on Wednesday evening. Gabby was busy with work so we spent some time with them. We are so blessed. 

We have also been informed that James is getting a special award for Academic Achievement in English and Math for the trimester.
