As the subject says…Happy Easter! It doesn’t get any easier than that.

So far, it’s starting out to be a very nice one for me. As on most holidays, I usually get to talk to family and say my “hello’s” and “how are ya’s?”
In the middle the afternoon, I got a nice call from Cousins Bob & Peggy Gentry up in northern California. We talked for a little while and they mentioned about spending their Easter at the Indian casino close to where they live. As the word “Casino” was said, I started drooling just thinking about those slot machines in Vegas. They also made a comment about the blog and saying they really enjoy the ones that have photos…and so, here’s a photo that I don’t think I’ve posted yet[I could be wrong though, I'm starting to forget what I have and haven't posted]. Regardless…here’s a scruffy and fuzzy shot taken a few weeks back.
[IT WAS GREAT TALKING WITH YOU BOTH ]

I also spoke with my mother, sister, niece, and still have a few more calls to make. My sister’s cooking and Easter meal for my mother back in Michigan. I imagine they’re all sitting down to eat at this very moment. By the way, my sister’s a very good cook …as is my mother–but whose mother’s isn’t a good cook right? Perhaps I’ll make a trip back to Michigan in the summer? I guess it all depends on things going on here but it’d be nice to see everyone again.

The last few days, I’ve received the most email I’ve ever received regarding the blog. The subject matter seems to be touching people in certain ways…I’m actually quite surprised at how my own story sparks people to think about their own family ties and un-ties.

sorry if you weren’t here for the drama as it was happening.
