Happy Easter, everyone!

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Easter!

Jonny went out this morning and searched for eggs. He found 72 or 74. Something like that. Not all chicken eggs, as that is a LOT of egg salad. He couldn't find 7 of them. His mother had some ideas. He asked her how she could possibly know where the eggs were. She held her finger and her thumb close and said 'me and the Easter Bunny. We're like this'.

It's been awhile, so I apologize for the absence. It's been busy. This has been a kind of sad week. My son's roommates found another house, and he's really stressed. And our ex daughter in law died Tuesday. Not the same son. She had been fighting breast cancer, and we knew it wasn't going to last. But we thought she had 6 to 8 more months. She went to the doctor on Monday, he said she had 24 to 48 hours and she died within 12. It's been hard on her ex and her son. He's only 6, and is missing his mommy. Both the boys are having a hard time. I wish there was something I could do. I wanted to go down, right away, and Michael said 'no, let's wait'. Everyone is there, right now, and in a little while it's going to be harder for them. Then we go down. I feel guilty not dropping everything. But, I understand. And it gets harder for us to travel, so we're not really up to 2 trips back to back. They live about 15 hours away. So, I guess he's right but I feel awful that we're not there, right now. His mom is there, and all her family, so maybe so. I don't know, but Mike says that's what his gut is telling him. He stewed on it for awhile before he decided. He's feeling guilty, as well.

A good friend lost her job, this past week. A customer had a tantrum and pulled some strings (over a lousy $4 bucks for 4 pieces of wood). People.

But, it's Easter. A day of hope and renewal. Things will get better. But I wish I could reach over and give all three of these people who I love so much a big hug and some kind of smile.
