It's been a long time. For weeks I have not been able to solve the scrambled letters challenge, so could mot get into my blog. Daniel did it today, wiithout having to solve the puzzle. I don't know when they changed it, or if I'll be able to get into it again.

This past week end Lita came over and took me up to Lincoln (near Alpena) for a friend's wedding. Was a beautiful week en. It was warm, but cool breeze and lots of sunshine. One night we went for a walk and saw a group of 7 or 8 deer grazing in someone's front yard. They didn't hang around once they saw that I had my camera. She brought a rhubarb pie over, so we took a couple pieces to Bill (one each of two days). This year our rhubarb is turning brown and drying up before it is big enough to pick. This stuff (a fungus or something) started decades ago in our corn crop. It has pretty much spread to most plants in our yard.

Bill is doing well at the facility now that I have quit trying to get him to exercise. Sun. night I went over after 8:30, and we watched Jesse Sone together. First time I've met anyone from third shift.  His favorite gal has transferred to first floor, so he's having to break in a new one, but he seems to have taken it pretty well.

Trina and Lita spent ten days in Israel the first part of March. One of the pastors posted on a blog each night. It was fun to know what they were doing and sometimes see photos of them until he posted a photo of a sign saying something to the effect of don't wander off the road, there are mine fields on both sides. Included on that post were photos of cars that had slidden off the road due to the snow fall.

A couple other gals and I hosted the Red Hat meeting this month. One of the others bought some little blooming plants, put them in small plastic cups and put them by each plate. They were cute.

Mr. and Mrs. Robin are working on their second brood for this year in the nest over the back porch light. Sure am glad Bill put a board up there six or seven years ago so they could make a good nest. This is at least the fourth time it's been used to raise a brood. Makes the view out the kitchen window a lot more pleasant.

Guess that's it for now. Hope I can get back on when I'm ready to post again.
