$50 Your Way Giveaway April 2026
Hello, welcome to my $50 Your Way Giveaway for April 2026. I hope you all had a wonderful March 2026. Mine sucked! The husband’s MS kicked him down BAD in March. Multiple Sclerosis SUCKS!! Then, as many of you already know, we lost our sweet Miss Bear. Our beautiful, sweet, mellow Bernese Mountain Dog. She developed yet another tumor. It was gut-wrenching to let her go, but we couldn’t let her suffer like she was. Then, like an idiot, I decided I needed a puppy. So, if you haven’t met Walter, check here.
So, my March was just bad. I’m very glad it is over. April WILL BE BETTER!!
Now for the real reason you are here.

April is pretty much done. May has got to be better, lol. We are back to chilly weather, but May has got to be warmer!
Terri Quick

KATE SARSFIELD
There I was, all prepared to go to Northern Ireland, with the alarm set for 6am. Woke up, then fell back to sleep till 1pm! Ah well, I’ll go next week instead. The rain has returned to Ireland, just in time for the long weekend 🙁
Michele Soyer
Lovely morning here – a bit chilly but sunny..took a 5 mile walk now to clean out the frig for the grocery delivery later today… the pantry needs a good sweep too!!
Susan Smith
We are having warm sunny weather this week so I started planting my garden. I’m planting all vegetables this year, tomatos, peppers, cucumbers, onions and carrots. I have to put up a fence around it as the rabbits around here will eat my vegetables.
Terri Quick
I’m still working on clearing up Buddy’s ear infections
Tamra Phelps
Other than the side effects of strong meds, I’m feeling much better. Hopefully the side effects will be short lived.
KATE SARSFIELD
I spent over an hour and a half on the phone to the tech dept. this morning. They gave up and finally agreed to refund me the cost. A courier will collect the laptop sometime on Friday. Popped down to the library to print off almost €300 in vouchers for my local supermarket. All earned by doing online surveys.
Michele Soyer
Good for you – these vouchers help so much…
l p
the day is going well. this morning’s appointment was just what I needed. this evening, it’s out to volunteer and then meet with friends. enjoy your day. thanks
heather
I had to do some running around today and I treated myself with a trip to In-N-Out Burger. I had a double double ‘Animal Style’ and I am full full full. Don’t think I will need to eat dinner tonight!
Michele Soyer
Lazy morning – laundry done and checked on the sweet cat..up for a quick walk then some online shopping..
Shelly Peterson
Today I had a dentisit appointment, went to lunch with my son and got icecream with the grandkids.
Tamra Phelps
Feeling much better today. Apparently a shot of morphine gets rid of the pain, lol. It also makes you loopy, so I’ve spent today nodding off every two seconds but the pain is gone. Surely the loopiness will wear off by tomorrow! Kate, I guess you were right, it was something, lol. I toughtt it was just a little muscle ache until I suddenly couldn’t even rest my head on a pillow because even that hurt.
KATE SARSFIELD
Good to know you’re feeling a bit better xxx
Terri Quick
My poor younger dog has a double ear infection
heather
I just got in the door from doing a bunch of running around and bunch of driving. Need to take a break and relax for the rest of the day!
l p
the day is going well. volunteering earlier and then out for sharing yesterday’s breads and a quick visit. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
Sorry for al the spelling errors – rushing as usual!
Michele Soyer
Taking care of my neighbors cat starting tomorrow – she is a beautifulgirl but sickly….tomorrow is an early soup kitchen schedule( breakfast) then food bank..run home take care of my liitle charge then sun to the shoppes and back to make my grocery order…back to volunteering on Friday so have a day to myself…possible evening out on Thursday…
KATE SARSFIELD
Running out of cat food so planning another trip to the North. Maybe this Thursday or later next week; it’s a public holiday on Monday 4th. so will be busy on the roads & in the shops. Got some weeding to do and I have to phone the people I bought my new laptop from. It just will not connect to the internet & I’ve tried everything.
Shelly Peterson
Happy Monday. Today I had dialysis.
Tamra Phelps
Today was not the Monday I expected. I wound up in the ER early today, and spent pretty much the entire day! I don’t know how I did it, but I have a horribly painful pinched nerve on the right side of my neck that goes up the back of my head and onto the shoulder–it was hurting like hell. My tremor (benign essential tremor, left over from when I had sepsis, usually barely noticable) was going nuts. Anyway, they tried steroids, etc., then gave me shot of morphine. That was a first for me. Whee! Then they decided I was not getting enough oxygen and sent me home on oxygen–hoping that doesn’t last long but I’ll do it. After 8 hours, I finally got home. On steroids for about a week, and the pain is under control right now, so that’s good.
Connie: The Head Peanut
OMG Tamra! Feel better quick. You really know how to spend a day don’tcha? Are you feeling any better?
Michele Soyer
Oh gosh Tamra please fell better soon… you never seem to get a break…all my thoughts are with you
KATE SARSFIELD
Sweet Jesus, and I thought I was the dramatic one! I knew something was up, I just knew. Glad you enjoyed the morphine! Keep us updated xxx
Terri Quick
I had to wake up a little earlier than usual to run some errands
l p
the day is going well. Monday – bread-baking day. today, I’m making extra for a family member who is visitng from out of town. will get the dough ready and freeze it so they can thaw, proof, and bake. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
Dreary morning with dark clouds and rain imminent – decided to take a walk anyway – love dark stormy days before the drama starts…went to the post to get some stamps and thats about it – more about the walk than anything else…after lunch I will read and study too dark to paint….
KATE SARSFIELD
Up early to take the brushcutter back, picked up some groceries on the way home. Sat on the bed & woken up 4 hours later by the chimneysweep! He’s going to put up shelves, curtain poles etc. for me! It might be a few weeks, but it’ll be so good to have curtains up again!. The vibrations of the drill just hurt my hands too much. When the shelves are up I’ll be able to get lots of boxes unpacked – yay!
heather
I am getting the house going this morning and warming things up. Hope you all have a nice Monday.
l p
the day is going well. out volunteering this morning and then doing paperwork all afternoon. I can hardly believe April is almost done. enjoy your day. thanks
Terri Quick

Michele Soyer
Happy Sunday… Lovely spring day here…went to very early mass and now just relaxing for the rest of the day.. Actually no roast in the oven my daughter is getting Chinese food for us today as a treat…
Had another amazing evening out the pro hockey game that again went into ot…
who knows what I will get into this week??
KATE SARSFIELD
Lovely lazy morning with breakfast in bed, listening to vintage British comedy shows on BBC Radio 4Extra. It’s the humour I grew up and much of it is completely undated. Right, time for a big stretch & out to finish mowing the back garden. It’s taken a whole week!
Michele Soyer
If I ever get to Ireland ( don’t doubt me) you will put down all this farm equipment and go out on the town with me!
KATE SARSFIELD
Michele, if there’s one thing we know about you, it’s if you set your mind to do something, you will do it!
Shelly Peterson
I went to my grandsons soccer game this mornig. Then I spent the day relaxing.
Terri Quick
I watched the new movie about Michael Jackson but it only covered up to his Bad album so I assume that there will be more movies
heather
Just finished watching The Count of Monte Cristo series on PBS it was superb! This was a new remake and it was sooooooooooooooo good I’m kind of sad that it’s over. Have a nice day.
l p
the day is going well. made cupcakes for a young friend’s birthday. out for a much-needed long walk. I’m still putting ‘stuff’ back after having the carpets cleaned the other day, as well as cleaning up a mess when a very large glass jar (empty, thank goodness) fell on the floor at 3:00 AM today. I think I have it all now but won’t be going barefoot in that area for a while. the head-lamp is a great tool in helping to find those tiny little shards that are trying to escape. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
Had a wonderful time last night with the girls – laughed and enjoyed our evening..Waiting for the handyman it is almost 1pm getting antsy…Tonight is the hockey game so another enjoyable evening..
Happy weekend all!!
KATE SARSFIELD
I’ve hired a brush cutter for the weekend & have already done half of the ‘meadow’ at the back of the house! It’s a damn sight easier than mowing it, though now other muscles are aching. Having a well-deserved pizza this evening!
Terri Quick
I hope everyone has an awesome weekend
Laurie Nykaza
Shopping today for the family for dinner. Now off to work in the garden planting seeds for our garden to grow some salad veggies for everyone to enjoy.
heather
Just did a bunch of running around had to go to Walmart that was the opposite of fun! I went in there to purchase a body pillow that they list as in store but when I got there and tracked down an employee they told me that item is only available online.
KATE SARSFIELD
Another day in the garden but no more mowing. Everything aches! I’ve decided to finish the back of the house with a hired brushcutter. Then, like last year, I’ll just leave it be. The frogs and hedgehogs will thank me for it!
l p
the day is going well. had the carpets cleaned yesterday, which went well. was cautioned to leave everything off the carpets for as long as possible so I decided to wait until this morning. however, one large jar (empty, thank goodness) decided to try and find its home on its own. it crashed to the floor in the middle of the night. cleaned most of the glass up and am now wearing a headlamp to show up the smaller pieces not easily seen. life is interesting. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
I decided that my pantry is too large to waste space and the way the shelves were done well never mind….so I am having the handyman come tomorrow to see if a 220 outlet can be installed and a small freezer put in place then shelves would be built around all the way up to the ceiling…
Tonight going out and about with my galpals for cocktails – boomer ladies on the town.. these ladies just make me smile…
Happy Friday all!!
Shelly Peterson
I took my car in for an oil change this morning. the grandkids came over this afternoon.

My daughter waited up like I was 15..lol… she said I did it for her and I still do it for her…why can’t she for me?? gotta love that woman… Apparently there will be another game Saturday because of what went on last night – who knows – so we are going again….
Soup kitchen later then a relaxing evening with my book…
Shelly Peterson
Today was just a day of dialysis.
Tamra Phelps
somee days I feel like I plam my life around doctors’ appointments. Even with they are just follow-ups, they are a huge pain in the butt, you know??? One can consume an entire day.
Michele Soyer
I understand – going from appt to appt – even if they are all in the same day a big pain…
KATE SARSFIELD
Heck, I view them as social occasions! Apart from the supermarket I don’t go out much anymore.
Terri Quick

Did all my housework, took a quick turn around the property for a short walk and now getting ready to do my art history course – I have time for my language lessons this morning too… thinking about taking a music history course also.. did theory many many years ago when
I played piano – blessed growing up with a piano in the living room.. could never afford one now! and this evening is the hockey game……everyone have a great day….
KATE SARSFIELD
Ouch I ache all over after all this mowing. Another night with not a bit of sleep so I got up at dawn & headed to the laundrette to get more laundry done. While I was waiting I took a drive to the local graveyard to try & find John (my lovely friend who died last Sept.). The earliest grave dates from the 1400s! Anyway, I found John. It’s a lovely spot, at the top of a hill with beautiful views. I couldn’t face going to the grave after his funeral but I’m glad I went today.
Shelly Peterson

KATE SARSFIELD
How’s this for a start to a day? Just as I was about to put my bra on, noticed something black (bra’s purple), then it moved. Put the glasses on – the biggest beetle I’ve seen in years! Took it outside & gave the bra a really good shake. I don’t mind creepy crawlies, but not when they’re in my underwear, thank you very much!
Michele Soyer
Took a 4 mile walk this morning and I am ready to relax after lunch until volunteer time..7ish is an HOA meeting and that is it for today….my friend is taking me to the last pro hockey game for now tomorrow night….Mn vs Dallas.. I am surprised by the gesture…enjoying the firendship very much….

Michele Soyer
Beautiful sunny day here – cold again yes but sunny! i should sweep the patios and clean the outside windows again ( the lawnman came, mowed and dust and dirt was flying) but heck it is Sunday – I shall feed the birds and rabbits then hit my chair with my book and turn on the sound bar and listen to music! Happy Sunday all..

Michele Soyer
At half 5am it was 74 degrees! too humid and sticky to walk outside so did the treadmill instead…
Planning on painting and reading today..what a life I have! the thought of going to “work” takes away any complaints I might have! LOL
Tamra our weather forecast is for WI, Iowa and Ill the chance of tornadoes…we are north of it if the wind doesn’t shift…funny I used to be concerned about hurricanes and earthquakes in T&T – new place new weather patterns – when we had earthquakes that was the most scary even though they were not reichter scale high…
KATE SARSFIELD
I remember heading to Dublin Airport to collect Mum & Dad from their holidays. I was stuck at traffic lights, looking at the planes coming in & suddenly they wobbled. Then I realised it was the ground that was wobbling, not the sky! It measured only 3 on the Reichter scale and wasn’t scary but definitely unsettling. The thought of all that power being unleashed …
Tamra Phelps
If we have earthquakes they are usually small enough that only those sitting still notice them. We argued once for an hour over whether we even had oe, lol–I was sitting down and felt it, so did my sister-in-law, who was in bed. My Mo and brother were up moving around and felt nothing.
heather
Watching the sun come up at the moment and sipping my hot tea. Hope you all have a nice Friday out there. I may make a trip to town need to pick up a few things for dinner.
KATE SARSFIELD

Lying in bed last night, watching The Day of The Triffids (again!), cuddling Loki, felt something in his fur. A tick! YUCK! Got it off him & dropped the damn thing. AGH!! Get it off me! Hate them with a passion since I got covered in them as a child from playing in the fields. Mum & Dad got 78 of the damn things off me using perfume & nail varnish remover.
Shelly Peterson
Happy Friday! Today I had dialysis.

I’m so tempted to go back to bed, in fact, I might just do that. So very tired and it’s cold and raining …

Today was just a day of dialysis for me. My daughters family went on vacation, so I don’t have my grandkids this week.
Terri Quick

KATE SARSFIELD
I’ve spent the last couple of days pottering about in the garden in between the April showers. Got the blade on my lawn mower sharpened but the ground’s still a bit soggy to get going on that.
l p
the day is going well. several appointments today so I’m on the way to the second one. making chicken soup to replenish the freezer and deal with my cravings. enjoy your day. thanks

Supposed to be 70 degrees today – insane weather! Feels and looks like rain…Laundry done and the house vacuumed and dusted…My daughter bought a treadmill and I just love it… easy to do 3 miles listening to music…yoga and tai chi later on….
My friend and I were discussing sports for some insane reason and I did share that I want to see a pro hockey game…My son had taken me years ago many years ago to see The NY Jets play and in Trinidad I did go to a professional cricket match and a pro soccer game…well apparently the Minnesosta Wild already played the NY Rangers and Canada so only Anaheim left but if he can get tickets we are going next Tuesday!! I feel so unbelievably grateful for this new life I have… on the 23rd the Minnesota Institute of Art is having the “Flowers in Bloom” exhibit – floral arrangements in front of paintings they represent..went laast year and it was very creative… Everyone have a pleasant day!
Terri Quick
I’m just watching some music videos from the 1980’s lol

Had to make a trip to the local library this morning and spent like an hour there talking to ‘the locals’ that I always run into while I’m there.
Michele Soyer
Went shopping yesterday afternoon and I was very good only bought candles….well maybe some spring dish towels , pot holders and 2 gorgeous hand painted hydrangea mugs.. of course the questions put to be was do we really need more towels and mugs??? yes we have to change for the season and last years are last years! they come out also but a bit of new never hurts! and my goodness $1.50 for one is nto going to break the bank! this afternoon a shift at the soup kitchen and depending on the time either a coffee or a cocktail with my friend….
Shelly Peterson
Today I had dialysis and then came home and took a long nap.
Barbara Montag
A bit of a hectic day – lots of little things to do.

Well, Twitter has me stressed out for the second day in a row but I’m not going to let them ruin my day! I am making hummingbird food right now so I can fill up our feeders. The hummingbirds are dive bombing me everytime I go outside trying to let me know that their feeders are emplty. Making rueben sandwiches for dinner been craving them. Have a wonderful day out there.

Did a little shopping today. The rain has finally stopped, lots of hard work but I’ve seemed to keep everything dry that I needed to, that was good. I want to do a Easter egg hunt for the kids but it might be too muddy, hopefully not. Happy Easter everyone.

It’s 7am and I’m still awake 🙁 If I had the energy I’d get up and vacuum the house but I’m exhausted! Catching up on emails, letters & bills instead.
