March News

Hello,

This is a picture taken at Rick's 63rd birthday party on Sunday. His two brothers, Bob and Mike came up from Palm Coast (Mike is visiting from Michigan) and Ashley, Darin and Kyla came. Ryan was here too, so we had a pretty nice day. The weather was beautiful, cool, but clear. Rick cooked steaks on the grill and I made green beans, potatoes, mushrooms and strawberry shortcake for desert. The strawberries are in season right now and they were great. Kyla was in charge of the whipped cream on everyone's shortcake. Again, Rick didn't get his car lift for the new garage. Too bad.

I was at Kyla's school today listening to the 1st graders read, then met Rick for lunch and went to get my oil changed in the Mini. It will be 8 years old next month and is in great shape.

We spent last weekend in Dover. We cleaned the decking and Ryan will stain it tomorrow. Today it rained here and there. We got a burn permit and burned a lot of yard trash that has been piling up for a year. Then we worked with the club members on Saturday. Rick bagged oysters for develop a reef and I raked the park with about 8 other ladies. We were supposed to have a wild game dinner Saturday night, but it got cancelled. They will do it in a month of so.

Rick and Ryan are going quail hunting this Saturday and Sunday. They always go twice a year to a club, good food, shooting and quail to bring home.

That last picture on the blog is beautiful, but I'm glad I don 't live in snow country. We have had an unusually cold winter and a long one too. It is going down into the 30s the next 3 nights although it is 66 right now. So much for global warming.

I'm getting excited, 4 weeks from today Betsy and Bob will be here and then Bert and Kathy will follow. :)

Did you guys watch the Olympic hockey games, I think we caught most of them. Too bad for the U.S. but we gave it a good shot, OT and all.

Take care, love, Marilynn
