What a great day
What a wonderful time we had today with some of the Grandkiddos.... Jake and Trisha needed to stay around home since she is due to deliver Isabella Ann in less than 3 weeks... so Ann and I held our usual family Easter Dinner and Jake and Trisha came and Heather and Paul and Andrew Paul and Madison Ann over and we had a wonderful time hunting eggs... heard there was about 20.00 in change that each one found in the eggs and a "real Gold Dollar" from Grandpa and Grandma for each. Lots of eggs.. Heather made her world famous bread, Trisha made the 'tators' and we had Blankinship ham... and all the trimmings.. was a wonderful time. Later in the day, Jonathan called to wish us a Happy Easter and said they had been hunting eggs and were then playing in the park, before heading home to get back to the grind. Great to hear from him, too, since neither he nor his family could be with us this Easter. (Andrew still talks about the most fun Easter he has had in his life.. When he and Uncle Jonathan were throwing the hard boiled eggs against our dumpster.... ) Phillip, Tammy and Austyn stopped by on their way home from Cousin Doris's big Easter Family gathering at Lexington... Austyn had a nice big egg he won hunting eggs today... I did hear Jonathan is coming up to see us next Saturday too.. how cool is that...
My Uncle Calvin is in hospital in OKC and doing better, just some complications due to health issues, and Great Grandma and Marilyn went to see him yesterday and had lunch with Aunt Agnes while Uncle Calvin ate.
Mike called and I guess he and David are heading to Florida for my neice's wedding ... Ann is heading to New Jersey on Tuesday and Wednesday and then I think she is taking another business trip with Heather to South Carolina shortly too..
Guess that leaves me home alone... hummmmmmmmmm hahahaha..... oh well, got a lot more cleaning up to do around the place.. and now I have a garden to tend too.. first time in 2o years... or so...
been walking again... getting in bout four miles a day... feeling good and being envious of Jake who is now at 220 lbs and losing more and looking GREAT!!! We are all excited for Jake and Trisha... and the impending 6th grand child... bubbling would be more appropriate, haha...
Hope your Easter was as wonderful as ours. Time with our family is the most precious time Ann and I have. We are very thankful for every minute of it. Nothing is more important than the time we have together. And one thing is for sure, there will be one less
Easter together...
What a wonderful family we have and how it is growing and how Ann and I are blessed!!

Had a great lunch yesterday with family... friends...
Greg and I had a late lunch yesterday joining Jake and Trisha, Paul and Heather, Ann, and Missy and Craig at Goldies... Great lunch, good visit, way too short.. and then off to work. Jake and Trisha had a Drs. appointment and the he told them the baby was not coming out yesterday.. haha... so they were enjoying their time alone, before two become three....
Greg and I went house hunting for them and found a treasure in the woods we think, we will see.
Easter Sunday is fast approaching and we are going to have the traditional Easter Dinner with whomever shows up... always interesting, and then we hunt Easter Eggs... this year I tried to find something interesting to put in the eggs... and I think we have done that too.. hehe.. we will see...
Have a great weekend...

wind front moving across the sky as I walked...
Wind was from the west about 10 to 15 and when it passed overhead wind was perfectly still, and then behind it... 45 plus gusts... from north... kind a cool if you were under it... thus the photos.. haha..
from Heather Ann comes this Easter card.
thank you very much. Mom did a good job taking photo, too!
If you love music and don't know who this artist is that left us early... you need to watch the video of his life...
the miracle is ... he is standing on this stage, one of the best song writers and a champion of living life on the edge, and probably not by his own choice...
