SUNDAY - April 22nd[/size]<br />
<br />
Good Morning Crazies...Another beautiful day in Pa..  Yesterday we hit a high of 78 and all you could hear around us were lawn mowers going and kids outside playing.  It was terrific to see the area coming back to life after a long winter.  Our trees are full of buds and the yard is absolutely full of rabbits running around and enjoying the end of the long winter.  They have apparently had a very long winter also as they have been quite busy - never saw so many of them before&#33;&#33;  Jim is anxious to get working in the yard but that will have to wait til we get back from vacation.  Today we will clean up all the deck and yard furniture though and get that ready for use.  We may even cook out on the deck tonight.  <br />

Cheryl - you and your family have certainly been through a rough patch - It is so good that you son has you to reach out to and talk to.  We just never know what goes on with our kids and their marriages but right now he needs someone to listen to him.  I&#39;m sure you will  be very  careful not to let Scotty know exactly what you think of his mommy.  I know it will be hard but it is best for Scotty.   Glad Greg has taken over dealing with the contractor.  Good luck finding a new painter and getting things resolved before you leave on Thursday.  <br />

I have lots of packing and organizing to do today.  At least now it looks like I can pack away the majority of the winter clothes to make room for the summer things.  I also have to do a heavy house cleaning because I will have enough dirty laundry to deal with when we get home and it will help if I walk into a nice neat house when we return.  I just can&#39;t go away and leave things messy.  <br />

Hope everyone can enjoy at least a part of this beautiful day - keep smiling - spring is here.
