Moms Make the Best Forts

An Afternoon with Auntie Kitty & Cousin Mark

I picked rocks & Mark skipped them in the pond. David downed a birch tree by the road as we watched. Kids blew bubbles & drew on the sidewalk. We enjoyed the beautiful & very early spring day out in the sunshine. Elizabeth was pretty pooped by days end. Mission accomplished. :)

Two Thumbs Up Mr Coffee!

I bought a really nice Mr Coffee coffee maker a couple of months back. Loved it. Unfortunately it started leaking from the bottom every time it brewed. I had no warranty & none of the packaging, but I still had the manual - so I called. I had to give them a few #'s from the machine, and then they shipped me a new one & a prepaid UPS label to send back the old one. NO CHARGE! Two thumbs up Mr. Coffee! I am a proud owner of Mr Coffee & will share your great customer service, timely response, & great products with many. Good job!

Steve Jobs February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011

Pro-life Corner: How different our world would be if Joanne Simpson had chosen to abort her unintended pregnancy. Instead she gave birth to a boy who was adopted by a loving couple. That boy was Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, Inc. and the creative genius behind the iPhone, IPod, and IPad and creator of tens of thousands of jobs.

“Before embarking, he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them. Steve’s final words were: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.”

Grandma & Grandpa home from Tx

Elizabeth & I went to welcome Grammy & Papa home from their vacation in Tx. Short but sweet visit. It's so good to have them home! Here's a couple of pictures of the ice sculptures we stopped to see during our visit.
