Easter?

At any rate, we would enjoy hearing from you as to what your plans are. If you are all eating at home, that is great. Great is whatever you do, just please let me know in advance. 

By the way, did you all get an Easter package and a St. Patrick's Day package?

Thanks, M

By the way, don't feel sorry for us. Julie and family said they would be here so we will not be alone. I remember, when Dad got older, he was always wishing that one of us or all of us would visit. He did have Laurel and Cydney there and they did spend gobs of time with him but he always wanted us to visit. I know, from my own experience, that the older the children in the family get, the harder it gets to visit anyone because they are all so busy. We are not feeling sorry about that. We are happy that we have raised you well and that you have made your families priorities in your lives. We are thrilled to be able to watch them achieve and we know that now your homes are becoming "Grandma and Grandpa's." We are great with the plan. We are both well and happy and are not "Sad Sacks" sitting around mourning and waiting to be included. Each day. my energy level is increasing. I will soon not tell any of you that I am 72 because it will not matter. I can outwork many women half my age and I can walk really, really fast. I enjoy that. Dad will live to be 110 and will be in good health every day. He is still able to, and enjoys, helping with the bees. So my question to all of you was only for a head count. If I plan on feeding eight and 20 show up, it will not be good. So enjoy your lives and invite us to your happy events and programs. We are well and happy.
