Hey All,

I haven't been on in days but just checked in and the site looks great Blair. It is really nice how you have done all the links and now like you said, if there are no new pics then we know we need to send :)

I went over about 9:00 this morning to help Susan get her mom and dad home. It was a big day for them. I think they said he had been away 77 days. He was very emotional and VERY glad to be home. I made sure his flag was out when they drove up since his military past is very important to him. They have redone things in the house to make it all easier and I think they will be very comfortable. I just know how glad Connie and Brice were to see their home and be in familiar surroundings again.

It is another beautiful day here. I worked a good part of the day yesterday in my back yard so it will be in better shape for Easter. As Kack said, everyone is invited here for lunch and an egg hunt. I invited Kack, JW and Ryan and asked Kittie and all her bunch to come and bring Jackie and Linnie and whoever all usually comes to her place. James and Shavonne and Brock will be here, as well as probably Shavonne's sister and her baby girl Maddie, Gary, Susan, Jill, Brandon, Stormy, Judy and Jo, and David and Janie and Janie's grandson Kyan. There is only one rule to coming to my house for Easter....everyone has to bring a basket and hunt eggs.... from the oldest to the youngest. Before we have made JW and Brice hunt, as well as all the other adults and we all had a great time. I think JW is feeling pretty well right now so he should be able to get in there again this year and hopefully we will get Brice and Connie over here and we will have to give Brice a little ride in his wheelchair to hunt but we will still make him hunt. It, of course, is not about the bunnies, eggs, hunting, etc. but it is a wonderful time to all be together and enjoy such a blessed time and all it brings. I remember a couple of times that Carol and I were home at Easter and Dalmer always made a really big deal out of everything. The wind was usually blowing so hard it blew the eggs away from the kids but everyone had such a great time being together. I wish the Ft Worth bunch could come too but we will have you in our hearts. Blair, I'll be sure to get some Easter pics to you for the site and also some new ones for Mariposa. I love all the baby pics on the site. Little Toby is so precious and Caden looks right at home with him.

If all goes well, the McNeelys should be moving soon into Mother's house. I was out the other night and when I went by there, they were moving some things into the beauty shop to store until they are ready to move in and it looked so good to see lights on and life there again. They are really nice people and Sheri absolutely loves the house and said she had always liked it and wished she could live there. So it will be good for everyone all around.

Well, I don't blog often but when I do, I am long winded haha. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and thanks again for all your hard work Blair.

Love to All,
Peg :)
