Spicy Older Ladies Blazer Fan Club Update 

In case you haven't heard the Blazers are the 7th seed in the playoff and play the San Antonio Spurs tonight. The Spicy Older Ladies Blazer Fan Club is really excited.  We might have squealed when they won the play in. 

Why the Blazers Won't Get Swept by the Spurs

March Junk Journal Spread

 

Surprise under the postcard

Is this a junk journal/scrapbook?  I don't know.  It is kind of a chaos journal.  It is my small way of being creative. 

What I Read in April

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's quick lit.  Check out what everyone else is reading.

1929 By Andrew Ross Sorkin

This book covers the 1929 wall street crash. It compressively pulled together all the information of those involved. The wealthy men who were running the markets.  The crash wasn't a quick event like we were taught in school. This was a book club book and it is hefty read. It is so well written and almost reads like a who done it.

Book Flight

Someone in our book club suggested reading Kirsten Hannah's The Four Winds along with this.  It is a much easier read and a good story about the dust bowl. I believe this was in Modern Mrs Darcy's Summer Reading Guide 2021.

Spicy Older Lady Blazer Fans Appreciation

Well, well, no one is more surprised than us that the Blazers made the play in for the post season.  We are delighted and excited to see what happens. They play the Phoenix Suns tonight.  The play in games are on Amazon Prime

We have some favorite players that will be playing

Deni Avdija aka Turbo - Not hard on the eyes either

Donovan Clingan aka Cling Kong - Big Man from UCONN

Shaedon Sharpe - aka Sharpie - this guy can fly.  Probably due to all the Mac n Cheese he eats.

Jrue Holiday - this seasoned veteran is keeping hope alive.  The Blazers would not be in this position without him

Inappropriate Thought

I think the Blazers Acting Head Coach resembles Sam the Eagle.  I can't unsee it.  I worry that the creases in his forehead might be becoming permanent.

April is Autism Awareness Month

Jonathan Huong is still missing from Mt Vernon, Washington.. Jonathan is an adult with Autism.

Inappropriate Thoughts

We had a little Easter explosion. We had a Pyrex dish explode with hashbrown casserole.  Already hot dish was placed on a hot burner.  Kaboom! Only the hashbrown casserole was harmed.

Deep Thoughts

I got a big surprise via mail in the form of a glitter egg.  I am going to be an unofficial official great aunt.  I am not a blood relation, but I consider this one of my nieces. I feel that it is such a privilege to be included as an unofficial auntie.  This bun in the oven is going to have lots of aunties, tia's, and uncles. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE LUCKY COUPLE!  They will be excellent parents.

Turkey Vultures

We had a strange weather month March was in New Mexico.  We saw a high of 100.  Then a drop in temperature by about 40 degrees. Everything is blooming.  I saw our usual migration of Turkey Vultures in their usual perch about a couple blocks away for 1 day and the next when the temperature dropped. They were gone. We were out walking our dogs the other day, and we saw about 50 Turkey vultures roosting in a completely different area. 

I had forgotten that I saw a turkey vulture in Washington State with my babysitting kid. (2010)
