First of all, let me say.....A HUGE thank you to:
The Zenner's
The McCarthy's
The Jensen's
The Warner's
The Krupp's
The Lind's

They all provided us with the most generous, tasty Easter ham dinner. And I will be needing the recipes for everything as everyone asked for them! It was so helpful for me to just put everything in to warm up as I was very tired these past few days. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

A BIG thank you to my friend Kay who took over in the kitchen and got everything out and on the table and did the clean up with the help of Jenny, Joe & Andrea. What a Godsend!

It was so nice to see the whole family....it means so much to me.....after my near death experience, it means even more. We are so proud of our children and what they have become. The grandkids just melt our hearts.....we can't get enough of them! Having my mom here is a blessing too....she is 81 and is in better shape than me in more ways than one. I wish my dad was still here, I think of him everyday and he has been in heaven for 15 years now. I know he somehow gets me through a lot of my dreary days and turns them around to happy days as I have his personality...always positive. We didn't get to see Jeff's mom and dad as they were at Jeff's brothers home for Easter. We'll have them over for ham sandwiches this week! I am so happy my brother and his family could come over too as I don't get to see him that often. There is 10 years between us, so when I was 10 when he was born I pretended that I was his mother and took over taking care of him, changing diapers and all!

So, today the sun is shining, still a bit cold, but I'll be in the house resting! I cannot get sick! I feel okay, just a bit shaky again. Don't know what that is all about? Anyway...until tomorrow.....Have a happy day.

Love, Janet
