Happy Easter

Joe and Margaret just left after Easter dinner, and we walked it all off.  At least some of it.
 
It was an eventful day and a restful day. Joe and Margaret (and her dog d'Angelo) came to spend the night in order to be here when the Easter bunny came.  We had a long Seinfeld-like discussion today about the logic of the bunny with eggs and chocolate and hiding the eggs, and we got lost in the logic.  Then Grandma told us that Claire had done a reading at her church today which may have tied the tradition to the church.  Would you share with us the reading Claire?
 
The events started with the cat and Margaret's dog not really getting along, at least Moe was not being very hospitable.  So, we decided to take the dog to church with us, and we left the windows of the car open enough for plenty of air while we went to church.  When we came out the dog was gone, and had jumped out the car window.  Fortunately he had a leash and a dog tag, and about an hour and half later we got a call that the dog had turned up in someone's yard.  Thankfully.  The rest of the day was spent eating too many jelly beans and chocolate and reading.  Nice. 
 
Mary had the whole week off, and we started off her spring break in Pittsfield, doing a little work on the house.  It was cold and it snowed each of the days we were there.  Nothing stuck, reminded us how further along we are in spring.  We went out to dinner with her Aunt Mary and went for a long discovery walk through the woods in the back of our house, ending up at the family cemetary.  John left to come back on Wednesday, and Mary went on to Stonington and Rhode Island to see  Dan and Maura, and Marg and Lew.  She drove back on Friday, stopping by Hightstown to visit Grandma.
 
Who is not feeling so hot.  It looks like she had a bad reaction to some medicine she was recently prescribed.  She went off the medicine, but it's taking some time to get out of her system.  Slowly on the mend.
 
Annie spent Easter with friends in New York, first in NY City and then on to the Hamptons!  Must be nice.  She's got a few short weeks left, but a thesis to finish in the meantime.
 
John's been busy at work, preparing for two big trips this week with Obama and Clinton going to Trinidad this coming weekend. 
 
Not much else to report - baseball season started and things were more hopeful last week than this week.  For Reds fans anyway.
 
Hope you all had a great Easter, and spring is on its way.  Love from down here!
