It's not as warm as it looks! Sun is shining brilliantly today but the wind is really cold. And very rough on flimsy hairdo's. Been a busy morning as most Wednesday's are especially during the Lenten season. Next week even busier. Bible class, home, Ladies Aid (have to have some kind of refreshment this month along with another member), home, then back to church for Lent services.
But busy is what keeps us going, right? And I can tell from the messages that all of you are very busy!

Chris, we will be home Easter barring the unforeseen and will be so happy to see you all.

David called and said he would be here Memorial Day weekend. So if anyone else is coming, we need to make room arrangements somewhere.

I agree, Jess. It is frustrating when you have to search for tools to follow you instincts. I can remember my Mom wanting my Pop to build an Adirondack-style lawn chair but he said he didn't have the right kind of lumber. She just looked at him, went into the garage, locked the door from the inside and soon we heard sawing and hammering going on inside the garage. In a couple of hours, Mom came out - carrying her chair. She set it down by my Pop and a neighbor and announced it was HERS to sit in. All I can remember is that chair had better not have someone in it when she went to sit in it! And my Mom was not one to lose her temper but all got out of it when she came out the door! I'm sure some of you remember Grandma's lawn chair. It was still in use long after my parents left this earthly life for a life in heaven.

Congratulations, Jon and Emilee! It's wonderful that you have your own home - now let the work begin. Just kidding. Kids are growing up, all of them. And what a beautiful family you have.

Have patience, Ben. You, Ashlee and Tyler will have your own home before you know it. We are so anxious to see all of you.

We need to get out of Quincy soon or go ga-ga. I really do need to go see my sisters - it has been a while. Dan called a couple of weeks ago and said Si was doing well. Dorcas and her girls go to see her often. I'll have to call Verna today or tomorrow (can't remember if she goes to get her hair done on Thursdays or Fridays) so maybe I should call her today.

Your Dad taking a nap - I'll let him sleep until 3. Then he'll wake up when I turn the TV on. I like to watch "Reba" and after that the one and only soap I watch will be on ("Days of Our Lives".) Then the local news, grab a repast (around here, that means leftovers from a previous meal.) Hey, I remembered that now-a-days the period goes on the inside of the parenthesis - used to be on the outside (which looks so much better).

I just don't have the funny things going on as the rest of you have - "life gets tejous, don't it?"

Take care . Love you all. Mom
