Hi hermits- enjoyed the Oscars. Ellen was funny, loved Bette singing, everyone looked lovely. Some good acceptance speeches by some who thought them out in advance.

Feeling better today, back to work and lots to catch up on. Will be back in a few more days. 

Wishing everyone a decent week!

Cami.......yes that is the 2 children  who belong to the Sidney Poitier admirer.......LOL.....the girl is an absolute amazing softball pitcher for her school softball  team......and the boy is a varsity golfer for his HS team since he was a freshman.....I took care of both of the from when they were born.....my daughter works from home now so she is there now for them.......loved every minute of it......

We both worked for GlaxoSmithKline.  After 20 years with the company I retired so she could continue to work....I was the only one she would allow to take care of my grandson when he was born.....best years of my life...........most rewarding job I ever had.....he filled the piece of my heart that I lost when my husband died......I felt if someone was going to continue working it could be my daughter.......

So yes that is 2 of my 18.......I am blessed......

As far as the Oscars.........same old, same old, the best part of the entire show was Ellen, who is hysterical......Bette Midler singing, and Pink did a fantastic job with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.........the rest was boring...........Ellen kept it worth watchi'ng..........

Poor Kim Novak.......what did she do........she was gorgerous in her day......someone really ruined her face......that was the worst PS I have seen since Kenny Rogers did his......Thank God he had it reversed.......hopefully she sued the Dr.

I'm sorry I haven't checked in for a few days.

For all of you who asked....I never did hear back from my landlord. He always returns my calls within the hour, so I'm thinking he may be Snow Birding. He's good about fixing things promptly too. When I first moved in here 4 years ago the oven didn't work. It actually heated, but the timer was broken, so you couldn't turn the oven on. He bought a brand new range, delivered it himself, and helped my DH install it. The first year we were under a 12 month lease, then month to month after that. I called him after one year and told him if he bought new carpet for the LR, DR, & hall, I'd sign another's years lease. He sent the installer to my house the following week and even let me pick it out.

So on Friday after trying to reach the landlord for 2 days, I called the Heating/Cooling company he uses. They came within the hour and then billed the landlord. It was an igniter. He was only here for about 5 minutes. Thank God for heat.

There was a scientist on our local news last week who said, this bad winter is from the melting of the Polar Icecap. He said, these hard winters will be the new norm, and we will have the longest, hottest, summer on record.
