Two days of Sunshine - has renewed my spirits - I went for a 15 minute walk this evening - will increase it daily - had my chair exercise at my class this morning -then it was time for lunch - sat at the table with 3 men -no women -one man was 82 and looked about 68 -------the other man was very obese and said he loved Fried pork chops --------the other man was just right - all were friendly and it was good to talk with them for no complaints about pains and aches ----------Marie G

Kittie, We will keep your stepson in our prayers.What is his name?My nephew David 's National Guard unit is on 72 hours alert to be deployed.He is getting his shots this week in preparation to go.

Hi y'all, Marie I'm still here too, Diesel thanks again for your birthday wish, Jim hope you'll stop by and Norma thanks for the birthday greeting, I knew you were having computer problems. Well folks same old story here eat, sleep and work, as y'all know this is my busy season we're working 12 hour days 6 days and half days on Sunday, even worked Easter but then again holidays have no meaning for me anymore, just another day. We're experiencing mucho rain and even had snow today, temps tonight down in the lower thirties possibly lower with frost predictions hope this isn't a repeat of 1996 when we had 18" of snow and -4 degrees for three days. the corps is raising the lake and I suspect it will be at summer pool by the weekend if not higher with all the rain. I've built six sets of boat docks this winter so as soon as the water comes up I can float and install, hopefully this weekend for starters. Y'all take care.

Hi Marie and all, Thanks for thinking of Diesel, Carl and us. We're still here but busy. Eileen and I both had a lot to prepare for the Good Friday and Easter services. Also, since we have learned that Matt and his Marine Corps unit will be leaving for Iraq by September, we have decided to visit him in South Carolina. We'll leave here in a few days, spend some time with him, and probably wander though Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, etc. and then spend a week or so in Monmouth County, NJ. Plans are still indefinite. In the meantime our phone and internet service may go on stirke this week, so I am writing before that happens. Everyone enjoy! Jim

Marie miss you and all the gang. In a big mess with a new machine trying to get things in. Also lost my address book. Have on a floppie, but when printed gave me everything private but no email address. I will never get done. Almost lost my Family Tree I downloaded it on a floppy March and when trying to put in it was damaged. Almost died. However I had 2 from Dec. and they went in how much I have missing I have to look and see. Having a garage sale on Sat and Sun so you know what I'm doing with that. A pain a real pain. Worse thing I found that CARL had a birthday on the 7th and i didn't send him a card. Forgive Carl ,,saw the birthdate and said what a youngster he is. Happy anyway my special friend and no have not got the address yet so using this to send to you. LOL.

What We Should Learn From The Easter Bunny: Don't put all of your eggs in one basket Everyone needs a friend who is all ears There's no such thing as too much candy All work & no play can make you a basket case A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits Some body parts should be floppy Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans Good things come in small sugar coated packages The grass is always greener in someone else's basket An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell The best things in life are still sweet and gooey Happy Easter From Jerilyn

Indeed, He is Risen -------------Happy Easter to all -----------Marie G
