Easter Candy for Sale - Cheap!

Hope you all had a nice Easter. The girls and I had the usual overindulgent weekend with way too much candy. I'm making them each take a basket to the food pantry today. You can't believe how much there is between all the egg hunts and the grandparents.

Ed got snowed in Michigan and didn't get home until late Saturday night after two days of cancelled flights in two airports.

Sophie tested positive for anaplasmosis - apparently a tick bourne illness similar to Lyme. She starts antibiotics today. She is a star student and after 1 class can heel, sit, stay and go down on command. Of course, that is in the privacy of 0ur home when everyone is asleep and no distractions. I'll have to see how she does in a room full of dogs tommorrow night. Hopefully she won't pee in front of everyone like she did last time!

So, what's new with everyone else?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, not that I believe any of us are Irish, but Happy St. P's Day anyway.
Not much else new. Carolyn was Confirmed yesterday at church. It was not very exciting. She's glad that's over and done with. My mother was highly put out when she found out I didn't buy her a cross for a gift. (In fact I got her the "Twilight" tshirt she really wanted. Ask Juli, Lynn- I got her the Alice Cullen one that says "Wanna Bet?") and she was much more excited. My mother sent her a tshirt that said "Angel in disguise" with a devil cat on it. Cindy said she'd have sent her a cross if she knew all I was going to do was to buy her a t-shirt. There's absolutely no winning.

So Nance, good luck on Friday. Hopefully it will truly be a Good Friday for you.
How's on line school Deb? How on earth do you grade something like that?
Lynn Ellen, my daughter would like to go shopping with Juli again sometime soon. I'm not sure if you are going anywhere for April break. She's going to DC on her 8th grade trip and needs a bunch of stuff. I thought maybe we'd do Westbrook Outlets. Let me know when you have time. DC trip in sometime in May.

We've begun planning the 8th grade dance. The theme is Mardi Gras. Easy and the parent in charge made a rule of no "formal gowns", only nice dresses so it's not as if I have to fork out for an 8th grade "prom gown". So, we've got that going for us.

We'll I've babbled long enough about our (actually rather nice) boring life. Phil's well. Baseball doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Not much else. Talk to you all soon.

To keep you up to date

We go back tomorrow for one day surgery to have the pins readjusted. The last 10 days have been horrible. Last week they didn't think it was anything. Today's xray shows the bone defininitely in the wrong spot. So, we're adjusting pins & screws and hopefully he'll feel better. We should be back home tomorrow night. I'll let you know how it goes.
