At last!

I have tried several times to post here, but the site wasn't working.  We're up and running again!

Not much fun has gone on since the cemetery expedition.  I spent the last weekend of spring break in Muncie babysitting so Meg and Nate could go to see the Narnia movie. 

On a sad note, one of my long-time school colleagues died on Monday of liver cancer that began somewhere else in her body.  She hadn't felt well for a long time but couldn't get doctors to pay much attention.  Sometime late in March, she had to go to the hospital because she was so unwell...and they found the cancer.  They started chemotherapy to gain some time...but didn't work.  She didn't even last a month.  May God bless and keep Joan Russell.

The Easter dinner will be here this year.  I will entertain Meg and Nate and children, plus Nate's father (his mother is still in Atlanta helping with the newborn grandchild, Jackson), and Nate's brother Daniel and his fiancee Sara.  I think my kitchen will just fit everyone...barely!  Meg and the children came down yesterday to bring the ham and some other things that we will be using for the family celebration.  The weather was beautiful, so we took the children out to the patio and colored eggs.  Well!  The children are used to water color paints, so the egg dye was just fun to play with!  Meg and I were trying to make the eggs "pretty" while the kids were just enjoying the play process.  There was stray dye everywhere!  When I found myself scolding the children for mixing colors, etc, I finally had to scold myself.  Who cares what the eggs look like?!  It's all about the children!  Toward the end of the process, Ryan said that one egg was hatching...and he squished it.  Hard boiled egg everywhere!  Even the dog wouldn't eat it!

In case I can't get back here until then, may you have a Holy and Blessed Easter!
