We actually went to a party tonight!

I realized when I was talking to my old friend Ruth tonight that after the grandkids came to live with us, that's when we got in the habit of not going to parties and after they left we just kept it up. When they first left, we just sat in the house and listened to the quiet. Although we love the kids and were happy to help out when they needed us, we were very glad when they left. We do enjoy just being alone together in our home. He's such a sweetie pie.

The party was a friend's 80th birthday surprise party. His kids planned it and he never suspected a thing. One cousin came from France, friends came from Florida. All a surprise. Bob was in the Air Force with Frank and most of the other people at the party. What fun to catch up with everyone! All of our kids are older than when we first met in the Air Force. Strange to see everyone age and their kids grown and having kids of their own. I don't feel any older.

Watching "Overboard" on tv for the umpteenth time, but it's a good movie - with one of the possibilities to play me in the movie. I'm really a nightowl - enjoying late movies and tv shows that are on late. And then sleeping late in the morning. Reading till the book is finished. And I'm printing on 2 printers trying to complete a print job by Monday so I can start on two more jobs. But tomorrow is Easter and I want to enjoy the spirituality of the day.

Hey Judy, Looking forward to seeing you next Sunday in Tucson. We had two egg hunts today in our yard, with recycled plastic eggs filled with money. One section for the 2-1/2 year old Ember and one for the 14 year old Jade. Then we took Ember to see Horton Hears A Who, and it was really good animation!

whew, Judy, I wish I had your energy! I run out too quickly, then I need to sleep a million hours!
I hope you had a great easter, it is my favorite holiday!
Mainly because it's spring and I don't have to do anything but enjoy it!

Hi Judy, Can't wait to see you on Sunday. I have made a few spray painted items of clothes for myself too! Will be wearing them in PA and also ordered some camo pants for the trip from an Army Navy Store on line in Vermont!

You guys are the ones with energy! The Easter Egg hunt sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to see all the clothes you two have made. Kate, did you enjoy the Horton movie? I've taken my grandkids to see many movies that I would not have gotten to see otherwise. What fun!

See you both Sunday. Gotta make Gretchen a rhubarb pie!
