Wasn't Tracie's shower fun?  So nice to see everyone - beautiful setting and decor, fun games, delicious food.  We had a blast!  Thanks to everyone who worked hard to put it all together.

Congratulations to Sahara for completing her Master's Degree!!  And to Isabel for completing her first mile-long race.

Guess who is proving that 87 is not too old to join the social networking crowd?  Download the online game Wordfued, invite Gramandgg to play.  PS - she also checks this blog and learning how to post on it is next.  This weekend she is expecting a visit from Skip, Katie and crew - and planting her garden.

Thoughts and prayers are with Ezra and his family as they deal with the tragedy of his brother's death.

Happy Mother's Day to all our Moms and Stepmoms!!  Enjoy your most special day and a very special greeting to my mother.  All my Love,
Vicki

Ok mom... NEWS... lets see... Paul got a job in Walton, so now only one of us will be commuting an hour to work.  He will be working at the National Bank of Deleware County as the trust officer.  Ethan co-won the 5th grade spelling bee a couple weeks ago.  Emma started t-ball and now knows the correct way to run around the bases... we're still working on hitting and catching.  Wedding planning is coming along great!  Aunt Nancy won the prize of first response card in!  Thank you to everyone else who has responded so far!  This is going to be an awesome day! 

Bumper sticker of the day:

Grandma's House - where cousins go to become friends.

Any News?  Anybody?  Welcome back to the blog Nancy!

Late April snowstorm - a few days after I got the Kayak out on an 80 degree day and put away my all the snow shovels.  The weather this year makes the record books much too often. The tulips are making a brave stand, but the lilacs look defeated.

Happy Birthday Jenny, and belated greetings to Chad and Lindly!

Machu Picchu

We made it to the lost city of Machu Picchu, Peru - and back again.  This is the view from the Sun Gate - just a 1000 stairs or so above the city.

The rafting trip was all Nancy's idea - I am the one in the yellow helmet.  She held down the raft opposite me.

Posting under Vicki's name because that's how she left my computer.  Just trying out adding pics.  Here are two interesting ones - the porcupine eating the last of the winter apples, and two herds of deer met up right outside the kitchen door.

Its time to update your address books (unless you want to wait til you get my next Christmas card...). I officially sold my house on Tuesday and have moved to Walton. My new address is: 3 Camp Ave, Walton, NY 13856.

Bragging rights?! You want bragging rights just for naming flowers (daffodil, forsythia, etc) Bragging right go to Mom/Gram. She got the first swim in this afternoon ("I was so hot after Bud and I cleared most of the trail"). March 23 - call her CRAZY
