mountain, I appreciat the way you speak of your daughter and her family. They are blessed to have you in their lives. Your hubby is the one missing out. What's up with men who don't see the real beauty in life?

dancer, glad to hear you've found volunteer work that you are psyched about. I believe volunteerism is going to increase as boomers continue to mature.

gims, thanks for the cute graphic.

Today is a good day. I am back from vacation and getting back in the saddle of work. I look forward to this week and the upcoming week. My daughter will come home with a friend on Thursday and stay until Easter evening. Our youngest comes home Friday night so we will all be together. We are having our extneded families here for Easter afternoon. SInce there are great-nieces and nephews we will have an egg hunt. Life is grand.
