SPRING HAS SPRUNG...

And we have a few early blossoms to show for it. The warm weather is very welcome after the long, tough winter we had this year.

Even Sue's birthday flowers have bloomed and stayed beautiful for two weeks.
TO CATCH UP WITH OTHER NEWS...

Denny is well settled into his new schedule and is always ready to hop the bus when it arrives. We have also found a very dependable caretaker to be with him when he arrives home every afternoon. All is well with our happy little man and he is pushing the bounds of his independence all the time.
THE BLOOD DRIVE WAS A SUCCESS...

Thanks to all who donated and helped us make our numbers. This handsome young man is a fine example of our community-minded citizens who made the sacrifice for little more than nutter-butters and juice. Thanks Mike, and others.

OF COURSE WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING WELL AT HOME, TOO...

We celebrated Sue's birthday with a big family-and-more lunch at her favorite local restaurant. The food was good and the fun was better. It was great to have so many family and friends there to share the day.

As an extra birthday bonus Sue got her car back from the repair shop and Joe and his guys did a GREAT job. If you missed the story, Sue had damage to the whole drivers side of her car when a lady accidentally back into her while she was leaving Victoria's house. The car looks as good as ever and after a little tuneup to go along with the repairs her little hot rod is like new again!

AND OF COURSE THE GRANDKIDS...

Noah, Aaron and Grampa' paid a visit to the firing range and had a good time. Aaron has his rifle shooting merit badge and is a very safe and capable marksman. Noah was very attentive and shot quite well for a first-timer. We will be going again soon.

 Rachel continues to produce wonderful stories and poems. Visit Victoria's Facebook page to see a couple of recent poems that our star author posted this week.

Eve and Granpa' still spend saturday mornings together as often as possible. This week was another Kids Workshop so we were there, bright and early.
 Eve built her project, which this month is a race car, and then we had a race.

Eve managed to win her race, beating the car built by the store pro and raced by her granddaughter. We were very pleased with our efforts.

So, for this entry into my BLOG it can be said that we are all doing well and that we are looking forward to a warm spring and summer.

Until next time, I'll be seein' ya'...
