Thanks Marsha for the pretty card, I scanned it and hopefully will use is for many, many Easters to come.
Have a nice day, I made hot potato soup and hot dogs for lunch.  Now just catching up on my computer.  Will go for my walk in about 1 hour.  I am trying to walk about 2 miles a day, then get up to at least 4 miles.
Tonight, having bar-b-que ribs, and left over soup.  Think I will put some cookies in the oven to enjoy during the basketball games.  
Tomorrow, Sharon, Nancy and Elmo will join family over at Penny's.  Dudley and I will go over to Darin's, hopefully we can get granddad to come.  Darin is putting up a new mailbox today, the wind on Thursday night took down his other.
Anyway, to of you, All my love, and hoping for a beautiful day on Sunday.

Good pic of Sharon holding the plates that Jane Wiley gave her when the Tea Room closed down.
Sharon and the Wiley employee group got a special tour of the new rentals in the Wiley building.  Then Rita Lingg came by the next night and took her to the Wiley's dedication, where she and all the Wiley group was asked to stand up and got noticed.  Nice week for her.

Marsha, had a great idea.  She downloaded one of the photos that I put up on the last blog.  She then put it into a small, looks like a 5X7 silverish, gray frame.  The color tones blends in really nice with the black and white photo.  She set it (I believe) next to her computer on her work space.  I know we all have family photos setting around, but, for some reason having this photo, is different.
It's 2015 and we are all still here but Mom.  Lets be grateful for every day we are here.  I love you all. Karen
