$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.

    Went to the cardiologist’s office today–no issues, just a follow-up. Chilly here today, but warming up again this week. Not a lot going on around here.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Right, after 5 hours I’ve now mown one side & most of the front. Only one more side & what seems like a small field at the back to go!

  • l p

    the day is going well. it’s bread-baking day so I’m extra busy – but getting things done in a timely manner. as always, the house has a wonderful fragrance. enjoy your day. thanks

  • heather

    Pretty cloudy here today hope we get some rain. This month is flying by can’t believe it’s already the 20th. Have a nice Monday out there.

  • Michele Soyer

    Another cold ( 20’s) morning but sunny.. already cleaned both patios and after some more coffee going to handle washing the windows outside – 8 and 2 sliders – can do that swiftly …then some rotissiere chicken in the oven and a salad and I can relax with a glass of wine and enjoy a movie I have been dying to see the new Bride with Jesse Buckley who I think is absolutely amazing -loved her in
    Hamnet..have a lovely day all….

  • l p

    the day is going well. spent the morning volunteering and the rest of the day cleaning up. it turned out that three kids came over for crafting and decided to stay the night. so there’s lots to clean up. hopefully they got enough yesterday to keep up the great start they had. enjoy your day. thanks

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    We’re in for a week of sunshine! Spent a couple of hours mowing the lawn, well, just part of it really. Reckon it’s going to take a few days, there’s so much of it & it’s so long with all the rain we’ve had. Got some laundry done & dry in one day!

  • 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..

  • heather

    Hope everyone has a nice Sunday. I have to make a quick trip to the local store and then making hummingbird food. Our local hummingbirds are little piggies they wiped out the food I made for them in only a few days and we have five feeders out there.

  • l p

    the day is going well. doing those last minute things to have the place looking the way I want it. made up some snack trays and after the lessons, going out for pizza. it’s going to be a fun time. enjoy your day. thanks

  • Michele Soyer

    Oh the weekend is here for those who work all week,, good for you all.. enjoy!
    I did 4 loads of laundry ( where does it all come from?) ran the vacuum and changed the linens..
    Decided to make a charcuterie board for lunch today with shrimp cocktail..lazy I know but something different and really because i want to read and listen to music and paint all day! Haven’t made up my mind about joining the gal pals for cocktails tonight….

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Saturday morning. Was woken at 4.30 by the sound of a cat vomiting. On my newly-changed bedding. Oh joy! What a great way to start the day!

  • l p

    the day is going well. today I’m cleaning the place up to receive guests tomorrow. a young lady and friend are coming over for some crafting lessions. they know how to do it – just need a few pointers on how to be consistent and read patterns. enjoy your day. thanks

  • 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

    Another bad night’s sleep so got up and did a few chores then went out & did my grocery shopping. Home by 9am & had a long nap.

  • l p

    the day is going well. out early for an appointment and then on to pick up a few groceries for a neighbour. it looks like it’s going to be a quiet evening once I get the chicken lentil soup I made yesterday divided into lots and put into the freezer. once made, I put it outside to cool down and reduce the stress on the refrigerator. enjoy your day. thanks

  • Michele Soyer

    The weather here is really insane.. yesterday in the 70’s today in the 80’s then Friday storms and a possibility of snow! Yes snow.. Tamra how crazy has your weather been??
    No cleaning to do today ( what can there be when I do quickies every day) soup kitchen schedule change – if i go in this afternoon ( after my grocery delivery) I can be home tomorrow…sounds fine to me!

  • l p

    the day is going well. had an appointment this morning but got a last minute call to postpone. fine with me – more time to do other things – and there’s always lots to do. enjoy your day. thanks

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well, had my scan & back home now. The technician said all was well, but to get the official results I’ll have to phone my Doc. next week. Other than that, I done precious little today.

  • Michele Soyer

    Had a wonderful fun time last evening..more pro hockey games in my future! Making my grocery list for delivery tomorrow and taking a walk outside – the fog has lifted a bit…this afternoon volunteering….

  • Michele Soyer

    So grateful the storm went south of us – dense fog today so staying put until this evening…started a new painting and I do have to get back to my art history….

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Another bad night’s sleep. Getting ready for a DEXA scan tomorrow (for osteoporosis). Had one years ago when I had anorexia. Be interesting to see the results.

  • Michele Soyer

    Serious weather is coming later on today – hail, heavy wind etc so I decided to go out and take a 3 mile walk – enjoyed the air and the sun and now I can relax and wait for the storm safe inside…
    Did a bit of shopping I confess – going to a hockey game tomorrow night and picked up some jean ( ripped and with pearls of course) LOL if I have to wear them they have to be pretty….a patchwork blazer and a tee and I am good to go…Pleasant Monday all…

  • l p

    the day is going well. it’s bread-baking day so lots of activity and lovely fragrance here. my X account was also suspended so I appealed it. within 2 minutes of my sending the appeal, received a message indicating the account was permanently cancelled. frustrating….. enjoy your day. thanks

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    It’s 8am Monday here and I gave up trying to sleep at 6. Got up & vacuumed the house. There’s a really heavy frost out there and if it’s got to the plants I put down yesterday I shall have to start shouting obscenities & shouting my fist at Mother Nature/Climate Change.

  • l p

    I had the early ( very early) mass said for him this morning in the local church here – to have one said at the cathedral would take a ticket and wait! LOL…

  • 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.

  • Tamra Phelps

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m feeling so tired lately. Perhaps it’s the weather. It’s dark, pouring rain and really windy. I have to pop out at some stage for groceries but I’d really rather not.

  • Tamra Phelps

  • Michele Soyer

  • heather

    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!

  • heather

  • Michele Soyer
