Guess it is time to get this site updated! First a picture of my two new grandchildren, acutally left overs from the fostering kitties phase, Finney and Mama. Yes, they are moving to Oregon.

Life has been busy busy busy, really not enough time in a day to spend it on this machine. March took us (Mom, Stomie, Megan, Susie and I) off to the Oregon Coast on Spring Break. Rented a van and had lots of fun, boy did we put the miles on. Saw Uncle Bobby twice and was able to have dinner with them once. Went Swimming and Hot tubbing daily. The ocean was beautiful but most of the time we were there it was angry, typical spring storms. Fun to watch and more fun to stand in the spray! Visited the Aquarium in Newport, the Portland Zoo with train ride, and the sea lion caves in Florence.

Got a quick glimpse of Eugene, Mackie's new home come August! Yes she is going to be a Duck. She will be working on her Master's in Community and Regional Planning. We are very excited for her. On the used car watch for her right now. James just finished his semester at BSU, studying Education. Just finished his finals! He and Mac were off today to Caldwell to look at a Tandem Bike for sale. Couldn't be more proud of these kids.

Grandma Marye and uncle Fred are doing well. We celebrated her 93rd birthday in March.

Uncle Doug's brother in law Mitsuro his wife Hiromi and son Takeo were here to honor and visit Uncle Doug's and Aunt Michiko's gravesite this month. I took a day off and helped Mom and Stomie with their visit to Boise. There was a little language difficulties but we had a great day and Mom and Stomie treated us to a wonderful Sushi lunch......never seen so much food, but we didn't leave a pearl of rice anywhere.

Mac and I are starting some raised flower beds, hope to plant this week-end. We still have some snow on the mountains though. Both Joe and I are well, I am riding Mom's old bike again to work and loving it. This is such a great place to live.........still looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.............or maybe just dreaming. Cathy and Mitchell were just here to celebrate Mother's Day, mom is one lucky woman to have us three angels!

My transmission went out in my beautiful BMW, I will miss her so much. She was such a great road warrior, but I got a new ride, check it out hopefully she will make many happy trips to Eugene.

Later.....
