It is hard to believe we are already in April. Where has the time gone? Things are settling a bit since Chris died, but there is still a lot to do. I have done much of the paper work and am now waiting to hear from some of the companies I contacted. I do so much on the computer that "snail mail" seems to take an eternity. School has been a bit wild-it usually is right before a break. Friday can not come soon enough. Emily and I (and maybe Carolyn) will leave for the Chicago area late afternoon on Easter Sunday. We will drive for several hours and then stop and continue our trip on Monday. I am hoping to avoid Chicago rush hour. on Monday It will be good to have a week where I don't have to do anything. I plan on reading , knitting and needlepointing-nothing that requires much thought. Of course Emily may have other plans. It will just be good to be away for awhile.
Emily and I took the dogs to the groomer's today to get "fluffed and puffed" -it is always an experience taking the dogs on a "road trip" Patches, the mutt, tries to climb into the front seat-he usually ends up perching on Clancy's back in the rear seat, puts his front paws on the arm rest between the front seats and breathes down my neck. It makes for interesting driving.
We have received so many notes and cards-what a wonderful testament to Chris. Take Care. MJ
