After a busy Saturday, we have decided today is a perfect day to be lazy.
Yesterday, Ron took his Grandson Josh, to the car and motorcycle show at the Alerus and then out to the Chinese buffet for lunch. While he did that I was going out to do some shopping when the NEW car acted up again, so I drove it right back to Rydells for the 3rd time, the other 2 visits they said they could not get a read on the problem, and it would have to be doing it at the time I drove it into the shop. As luck would have it, I was 2 blocks from Rydells, when it happened again, so I sped to their shop. So once again I had to leave it there, and they had to drive me home in the courtesy car. The worst part of that was, that sitting in the shop was my old car, the one we had traded in, looking like brand spanking new, waiting for it's new owner to DRIVE it away, as I was getting driven away in the courtesy car.
Finally at 4:30, Rydells called us back and told us they found the problem, a loose wire. Now tell me this, how could they have not seen that the other two times it was in there? Frustrating when you have not even made the 1st of 60 payments. Oh well, hopefully problem solved.
After all this, we got gussied up and went out to meet a group of friends, the first one of our Vegas group turned 50 yesterday, so we celebrated his birthday at the famous Whiteys Wonderbar. Ron and I then left there and went and checked out a new band that was playing elsewhere and danced to the Auctioneer song, it's a good old song where you really have to know how to kick up your heels, yee haw....good fun.
So needless to say, that is why today is going to be a lazy day, it's a gloomy cool day outside, and as the old saying goes, "there's no place like home!"

Easter Memories
We had a very nice Easter Sunday yesterday, had family over for a mid afternoon meal.
Our family get togethers seem to get smaller every year, but my siblings and my parents are right here in town and we can still enjoy these holidays together.
I like to remember when the kids were small and we would color and decorate eggs the night before Easter. Then when Chris and Laura would go to bed, we would go outside and hide plastic Easter eggs filled with treats all over the back yard, many years there would still be snow on the ground. The next morning they would get up and find the eggs and then they would come back into the house and find their Easter baskets.
I have many of these memories on video tape, so feel blessed that I can actually relive these memories to this day, in my heart Chris and Laura will always be those cute and adorable children looking for the eggs the Easter bunny left them. I hope one day in the near future they can make their own memories with their own children.

Another weekend in the life of the Berghs
How does Monday roll around so quickly everyweek?
This past weekend was our annual Polish Party at the SouthGate Lounge, we have gone every year for many years. We always dress up in costume and make a grand entrance in the afternoon. This year we were all dressed in white jumpsuits, and were the Polish Gas Company, now I will not go into any more than that, but remember we put a polish twist on everything. I will post pictures soon so you can see how we looked. We stayed for quite a few hours, and decided to get a ride home from a neighbor and leave our car in the lot until the next morning. Well that was the right thing to do, BUT when we went to retrieve our car on Sunday morning, we noticed someone had slashed our tire, on our brand new car that we have not even made a payment. Pretty upset, but what are you going to do.
Well in my world when you are upset, you eat! So off the Golden Coral for a late lunch. Ron has wanted to go there since they opened 2 years ago, but always being on a diet, I know I have no control at a buffet, and I was right........the best part being the dessert buffet. I had carrot cake, cheese cake, and a hot carmel sundae, this after making sure the coast was clear and there were no fellow WW members in my midst.
The week looks nice ahead with lots of sunshine, hoping to bring Easter in with no snow left on the ground this Sunday
