James left for the valley early this morning. It became a rest and regroup day for me. 

After yesterday with its rain, snow, hail, lightning and thunder, one can appreciate todays sunshine and 58 degrees. 

We are having a potluck Easter dinner this Saturday, March 30th, at Darrel & Trina's house. I asked Trina how her family does potlucks and she says whoever is hosting does the main dish and makes assignments to everyone else. I told her I thought that was a great idea. I told her Kim was going to bring a carrot cake and Paul makes really good mashed potatoes, and I thought Sheri could do rolls. 

Here were the assignments: Trina & Darrel - main meat, and deviled eggs. James & I - Salad & beans, Kim & Brian - carrot cake & fruit, Sheri - rolls, and Stacy & Paul - mashed potatoes. It is great to be organized! Trina is doing paper goods and I'm doing knives, forks, and spoons.

Tom followed me around today. He slept on the recliner with me. I tried to get up without waking him, which I thought I did. I had to go to the bathroom. When I opened the door to leave the bathroom, Tom was sitting in the rocking chair in our room was his head between the bars on the chair looking at me.

James had told me that there was no way he would be able to come home today because he was checking on all of his jobs. I mentioned to Trina he may be staying at their house if he doesn't sleep in his car. This afternoon James called and said things had changed and he was coming home. On his way home Darrel called and asked him if he was spending the night with them. He had to explain that he was on his way home. 

There goes my plan to sleep all day and stay up all night. James got home around 8:30 and I gave him a big kiss. I'm glad to have my hubby home safe and sound.

 James finished my walking for me while I sit on the family room recliner and hold Tom as we listen to "An Inconvenient Letter." Tom doesn't like the audio. It disturbs his sleep.
