Catching Up
It's been a long time, I know.
Here's the thing: Jim's s been working and I have been involved with the grand kids and my Bible Study.
In February Jim traveled to Denver, and Phoenix. I began volunteering at our local library as a "grandma" in the preschool reading program on Fridays. I just can't stay away from those preschoolers!
March found Jim on planes to Phoenix again and Denver. He's beginning to know those cities pretty well! While Jim was in Denver, I caught a plane for Portland and had a great visit with three cute grand kids in Salem. It was great to see Jacob and Tania's new house and explore their neighborhood, schools and thrift stores, of course! How we love those kids! The week went by too fast! Jim's mom came up for a visit, her first after by-pass surgery in January. She did really well! We spent a nice Easter day at Connie and Shawn's. The weather was cool but nice and it was fun watching the kiddo's hunt for Easter eggs and eat chocolate bunny's. At the last minute, Jim and I decided to go to Disneyland and meed the McCamey family. They had been planning this trip for a while and we the whole time hopping for some other people to go with them to help out with the little guys but nothing ever worked out so we felt we should go. And it was a fun time. There were hoards of people but we managed to take the grand kids on a few rides, Dumbo, Buzz light Year, Casey's Train, the Tea Cups, the Disneyland Train, to name a few.
The first day the kids were overwhelmed but by the second day did much better, settling back and having a good time.
And here it is April: Harry and I started the month by getting our picture in the front page of our local newspaper along with Sandy and her dogs! That was a kick! Jim and I started feeling normal again after struggling with colds, coughs, sore throats, sneezing and all that! Jim made his last scheduled work trip to Reno last week so he's feeling some relief! We are kicking back and driving up the hill to see our cabin today. After a winter of heavy snow fall it will be interesting to see how things are up in the high country!

So there you have it in a nut shell. These past months have been rich with good times with friends and family and for that we are thankful!
