Holy Cow .....

Okay, well it has been ..... forever since I have written! Since no one reads this but me, let me just begin by saying, "Hello, Me!"

What a very strange past two weeks! Natalie had a major tooth pain on March 10th. Ran her to the dentist within 45 minutes. Then, she had to go into the hospital 6 days later to have dental surgery on March 16th at 2:00 p.m. One week later, to the day and to the hour, Allison went into the hospital to have surgery on her knee. So, that's two of my children in the hospital for surgeries within one week of each other - at even at the same hour of the day. Maybe I should tie Dustin down somewhere for this next week! Actually, he's sick with a sore throat. When it rains, it pours!

What a beautiful day this has been! Natalie and I spent much of it in the back yard playing in the fort and on the slide and swings! The Yoshino Cherry tree in the back yard is in full bloom. It is so big and tall now. I'll bet it is at least 30 feet tall. It is spectacular! When the wind blows, the little flower petals softly shower down upon us. It is just like snow in the beautiful sunshine.

Allison's wedding is coming up. I'm afraid to look at the calendar! It is on April 18th. So, can you count this late at night? Golly - it's after 9:00 p.m. I must be getting old to think this is late. lol.....

Heck - Those are cuss words. Getting old? Not me! Never! They are gonna have to KICK me into my grave! I'm not going! Not getting old. Nope.

Juanita called me today. It was so great to hear her voice. She reminds me so much of Mimi. She is such a dear, precious cousin. I wish I could live near her!

Today is Leslie's birthday! I had a lot of fun visiting with her. She is awesome.

And, of course, I have a new baby niece! Ava Elizabeth. What a beautiful angel. She was born on the 19th.

Natalie is doing fine. Allison is doing fine. Now, I need to take care of Dustin.

Good night, Vicki Lynn. The world is a happy place. Keep your mind on the positive side - the sunny side - and you will enjoy each and every day.

God is in control. :-)
