My turn again -- time really does go faster when you're older! I'm working as crazy as ever, although I have given up one job -- it was only 3-5 hours per week and although I will miss the $$, not having to "be" somewhere every Friday morning is feeling pretty good right now!!

I'm sorry I have to miss the Easter egg hunt and front yard conversation but I'm working this weekend. I actually don't mind working at Holy Family on Holidays like this because I can enjoy the day with the residents, and many families are there as well. The best part is that people are mostly happy and upbeat rather than complaining about something.

I know it's rather early in the morning right now but its not unusual for me to get up around 4am -- must be remnants of farm life . . . (it's also not unusual for me to be in bed by 9pm or so). I'll be sure to be in bed soon after I get home tonight around 8pm. How many others of you are also "early risers"? I know Mom can be. And I know Bill often hits the road rather early.

Mary, I did miss your turn at the email -- just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't think noone noticed or cared. :)

I'll be out to see Josh (and Jen) on April 7 (Jason will be working). Jason's parents are moving closer to Harrisburg (from N. Carolina) in May and they're VERY happy about that. I'm also happy for them as they've been looking forward to that for several years and it's finally coming together.

Hope you're all well -- Spring is here~!
