Happy Easter

Here are a few of the pictures I took on Easter. The ducks are the carvings we bought at the Mandarin Art Festival on Saturday. We were going to take them to Dover Bluff, but they look pretty good hanging in the kitchen. Everyone came and we ate ham and the fixings around 3 p.m. Nathan hide the eggs in the front yard for Kyla. He hide them much better than I did last year as there were quite a few she needed help with and one no one ever found until after the guests were gone and Rick went looking. Of course, he found it. I took Baxter up to Brunswick today and had lunch with Tracy and Ryan. They will keep him until Sunday when Ryan will come back down with him. Rick and Ryan are in a golf tournament on Monday. That will work out well. We leave tomorrow for Orlando for a few days. Thanks Bert for the cool video in the rain. The flowers looks so pretty and everything is greening up. Looking forward to seeing Bob and Betsy in a couple of months when they come to J-ville for Nathan's graduation. He can hardly wait to start working, and he is doing so well.

Take care, love, Marilynn

Happy Birthday, Don!!!

Anyone know how old he would have been? I think he was born in 1913. Man, that's almost 100!!
Speaking of old, Bob and I "celebrated" out 38th this year on the 14th. We both actually forgot what date is was, but I remembered just before lunch. He was working at the other house and came home around 2 p.m. as I was having my fiber. We toasted our anniversary with the fiber. We both laughed.
Nathan continues to do well in dive school - 95 on the midterms. Very proud of his success and happy for him. Laura went to visit this last weekend, but haven't talked to him since.
Work is going well. I really like it. sometimes it can be tiring on your feet all day, but the customers, generally, are fun and interesting.
O.k., my day off. Lots of laundry, etc. Pump still not working at the other house, after $800 in pump and labor, so Bob is over there to see what he can do.
luv,

Spring Break in St. John

Nathan came with his buddy, Eddie on Sunday. His other buddy, Mark and Mark's Dad, Lorne arrived on Tues. We cooked almost all dinners here at the house. They helped set up and cleaned up. Lots of drinking and laughing. these guys have been friends since 6th grade. The four of them stayed just down the hill from us at a friend's house. she rents it out short term and gave the guys a great deal. They went to the beach several times and went diving on the Friday before they left.
Nathan will soon be looking for a job as a tender on some 900 ft. boat that goes "who knows where". The tenders work on deck and help the divers. He will probably will do this for about a year before they will hire him as a diver. He is looking in the gulf. his girlfriend, Laura, will be coming for graduation, as we will, in JAX the end of June. i'm really excited for Nathan as this is the first success he has had in his life in any kind of school setting.
Work is going well. Just saw the boss today and he wants me to help keep inventory and do the calendar for everyone's work schedule. He doesn't have time and the manager is hand writing it and has no computer on board her 54' vessel. The manager, patty, sweet, is 62 and looking to retire and get off the boat and onto their house in ST. Croix this year. May need help out here with my "techie" skills.
We are going to DTW on June 26 and coming back her on July 5. Herb and Kathy, what are you doing during that period?
Dinner dishes call.
luv,
