1st: Easter. Beautiful as always. Our family celebrated on Saturday due to the large size of our family, (21), however only had 18 present. (My nephew Adam as you may recall, is currently serving with Kentucky National Guard in Baghdad.) Typical Easter fare, ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, gravy, mac & cheese, stuffed celery, desert was birthday cake for my mom (72 on the 29th) which was a total surprise to her. Adam's birthday also on the 29th, he's 23. Our family has a real neat tradition, since we haven't had 'little ones' for several years to hunt eggs, we have an Easter egg toss: line up in pairs across from one another, 'toss' the egg, step back, toss again, etc. etc., eventually eggs are dropped, broken, lost in the shrubs, until whomever has the last egg, with yoke intact is declared the winner. We usually do this several rounds as everyone really enjoys it. Mom & Dad used to have a Boxer who also enjoyed cleaning up the mess from the broken eggs. Not many Easter's go by that we don't remember her also.
Weather has been beautiful. 80's the past several days, I did have to get out and mow the lawn last night (a chore I don't like). But it always looks so good once it's accomplished. Besides the neighbors had done theirs and makes mine look even worse, so the pressure was on !!
Mitchypoo - So sorry we didn't get to meet up at MOA. We did have a nice trip,
good weather, 
just the drive was really hard. My daughter has announced that she is willing to fly (a great fear of hers) if we decide to travel that far again. How are things going with Eric? You haven't updated us for a while, and also on the PT job interview with Yarn Cafe? Is something going to open up there for you?Sprout - I have also enjoyed your devotionals. I must admit thus far I have two favorites on your postings: 'Beware of skinny people with fat mouths'. Unless you've tried to diet, you have no idea how much work it really is! And one I want to adopt "Lord make me ready to lose weight", saying it and doing it are two different things. We definitely have to be in an attitude, the right attitude to get it done!
mnewton - Where are you??? Maybe I've missed your postings. . .need an update on Channon, hope all is going well for her. I have also, this week, just renewed myself to walking again at lunch. I need to take the car around my 'route' to get the mileage but my usual trip takes me 21 blocks, hopefully this will help me jump start my weight loss again!
Sorry gals (&EZ) gotta run for now and go pick-up payroll (such a tough job) but I'm sure there will be plenty of people at my door, and mad, if I don't get it soon. Will try to post again in the morning. Have a great evening !!

I'm been lurking some but just not posting. And then I saw Michele over at LA and she invited me back over. I love posting with ya'll it just got to be too much before. I'm going to try to post but not anything fancy, don't have that kind of time. Well, I'm not head coach this year but asst coach for Kaci's softball team. Wow, it's a lot of work. But these kids are worth it. Sorry to hear about Dennis, prayers going up.
Always doing activities with the kiddos. 
) - what an amazing site, all those pilgrims and a man who was loved so much by so many. . .
It's very nice. I'm only about 4 hours and my family has visited often on vacations and family reunion-type things.
although I have never played! 
You did good! Your pictures are a good size... no worries there. It's just using a different way to post them and they look small because the pics at the bottom of your post are called 'thumbnails' and when you click on the picture it takes you to the larger size 
I love the pics of you with your HUGE pups playing in the garden bed you just worked on. That planter is about the size we want to put in on the side of our home this year, for veggies 
Where we use to have our garden is all grown in now and the tree's are shading the area way too much for veggies. I cannot wait to help Joe put in the veggie bed... I am so looking forward to getting out into the sunshine again. 
But I have to 
are working! Thanx!!
Yeah!!! 
His company does --- and boy am I thrilled about that! And because I don't work, we fill the jeep (our personal vehicle) up with gas only 2 maybe 3 times a month. Either way... YES! The price of gas is terrible!! 
Channon is doing wonderfully well!! She is amazing the doctors. The tumor has shrunk even more since last month so my sister-in-law met with the surgeons and they are thinking about going in soon and taking the tumor out. They are going to do a MRI and take her stitches out on Monday. Once the MRI comes back then they will know exactly how soon they can go in. The baby has been a little cranky because she is teething. 
and the butchers are going too, to bring in prepackaged meats for all stores here 
Yes... I do post in other threads and I don't know that they are as thrilled with my graphic's as you all are 
oh, i was so happy. And we're probably going to go to church tomorrow a.m. at 9:00 am by my house and then i have to leave for work right after, but it may be the only way to see him this week. He wanted to go to church which is cool, just not sure if he'll have a golf lesson. And he's been fighting a cold/allergies, so we'll see.
