Well, this is my 3rd attempt to make this entry, and if it doesn't work, then I'm giving up, lol. Our Easter was nice. Exhausting but nice. Kids had an egg hunt with plastic eggs full of jellybeans, and 2 eggs had money in them. My grandson Daniel found the egg with a 5.00 bill in it and my niece Kaylei found the egg with a 1.00 bill in it. I filled 48 eggs for them to find.

I guess the food was good, cause they ate it all, lol. I can't believe I cooked such a big meal as sick as I was. Well, yea maybe I can believe it, cause I've done it many a times. But hey as long as they enjoyed it, that's all that matters.

Would you believe I am alone right now. Yep, Jim and Joe and Rebecca went up to the mountains to check on the cabin. They'll be gone at least 5 to 7 hours, yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, lol.

I am going to go up to the store, pick up bread and some milk, then come home and get to reading some of your journals. I have almost 400 of them. That's alot of reading.

I'm really glad Jim and Rebecca are gone for a few hours. I swear they were both getting on my last nerve this morning. I wanted to clobber both of them. I swear if they didn't go out for the day, I was.

Yesterday we picked up Marissa and Daniel and took them with us to the Castle Park. These kids love going there. It was Daniel's first time there so he was fasinated. They played for 3 1/2 hours, then they were getting tired, so we took them home. We'll take them back again in a couple weeks when it's warmer. It was windy yesterday which made it feel chilly.

Well, I guess I'd better get to the store and start my day or they'll be home again before I know it. Thanks for being so patient with me in getting to your journals. I have missed you all not hearing about you lately.

Love you all................................CINDY

    I can relate to needing some alone time, It doesn't happen very often, but I treasure it when it does. I hope you are able to catch up,relax, and a great day.

  9. I saw the pictures and I adored them all.  It looked like a great day!  I didn't know Dan could play the piano or is that Jim?  Either way, I didn't know.  AOL is acting up again, huh?

    Hugs to you all,

  10. I sure enjoyed your pictures Cindy! I always enjoy any pics that you post of your family. Rebecca is looking more like Emma as she grows up. Well...they are sisters after all. That adorable baby looked so cute in her princess jewelry! She's just a dolly! All the kids are dollbabies! I miss having small kids around me. I used to have my son and ALL his cousins around all the time. I really miss that. So enjoy these years of egg hunts, and magic.
    Love ya MUCH,

  20. 400 journals?? I can't believe your fortitude.  I am such a big book lover I have to leave room in my life for them, but I try to get around to everyone of the journals I like periodically.  My heart was rendered by the terrible accident that befell your son in law Dan.  Then you start getting attatched to the rest of the family, and I can't believe you cooked that giant meal while still recovering from pnumonia. Do be careful.  Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/

  21. I got to look at your photos down on Doc's commputer.  I can't get them on mine in AOL photos.  I love looking at photos and that has always been so frustrating! So glad Dan was able to take care of the kids okay.  It iis understandable if he still has some aches and pains.  Gerry
