It has taken way longer then it should have but......today I am official Heidi Anne Madison.  Well according to Mass DOT and Social Security Administration anyway. My initials spell HAM.  That makes me laugh.  I love it.  :D  HAM.  LOL  There were surprisingly NO lines at either the RMV or the Social Security Office, got called up within seconds of receiving my number in both places.  That was wonderful!!   

I recently test drove the Mazda 5.  It was AWESOME!!!  :D  It has a lot of cargo space and it was so so easy to convert!!! All the doors and seats slide easy and they are feather light yet sturdy! It has great pick up and it was soooo fun to drive!!! Even Joe liked it!! It gets 28 mpg.  It's very versatile, smooth, peppy and (I think) cute. :D Not that I'm looking for a new car or anything I've just always wanted to drive one.  I can't really get away with anything less then the minivan with Eleanor's wheelchair and Berkley taking up so much space.  :D  Not to mention I love my minivan but you can love your car and still pine for another one. 

look at me being all 9:30 and 2:30 such a sloppy driver, jeeze.  LOL

Anyway, besides that, not much new going on at this old homestead.  We are now entering into the last weekend in March which seems very sudden to me, and exciting too.  Some of the bulbs I planted in the fall are already coming up.  :D  woo-hoo.  Success.  I check on them almost everyday now, it makes me feel good to see them growing. 

Here are just a few recent snapshots of some terribly exciting things that have been going on down here on Maplehurst Rd.

Footy being Footy

I absolutely love when Edith disappears and turns back up looking all crazy styled.  LOL  

Getting some springtime blue sky's

It was strange to see him laying like this.  He's a weird dog.  :)

This is Saturday morning Joe.

This is Zelda's Saturday morning nap pose.

One final note:  Eleanor has had two good days in a row with no knee swelling and just a happier attitude.  Yeah for Eleanor.  Phew.  Lets hope things keep moving in that direction!
