Easter

We had a very nice Easter Sunday at the home of Janet's cousin Jean and Steve Martin.  Mom came with us and had very nice long conversation with Brendan Byrne.  Johanna and Sean and Amanda came out on Saturday and Sean and Amanda and I watched Cornell beat Princeton in W's lacrosse (Amanda was the head of the Carleton club lacrosse team for several years).  The real reason they came out, though, was to spend some quality time with Dasha, who is at least showing signs of being housebroken (sigh, finally -- although it's been all Janet).

Andrew and Lur and Claire and Daniel were in town for a few days and we had a couple of dinners with them.  The new food service at Meadow Lakes seems a distinct improvement.  The only downside of the visit was that Claire was such a motor mouth that none of the rest of us got a word in edgewise.  Daniel showed us his chops on guitar, but for some reason Claire had left her oboe home, so we missed out on that.  They took Mom on errands, around Lawrenceville and other places.  We missed the Washington Dicksons going to and fro Pittsfield.

I had taken Mom to the glaucoma specialist on Wednesday and he said her vision has stabilized -- the laser procedure she had done last fall has worked, although it took rather longer to work than he expected.  So that's very good news, too.
