Things can change at a moments notice

I spoke with Mumsy this evening and she told me what has been going on in her life for the past few weeks. Long story short...we are going to San Antonio as soon as we can next week. 'Truck' has a problem so Husband is getting it fixed on (hopefully) Monday. It would have already been done except for the fact that this is Easter weekend and our 'main mechanic' takes part in a race here in Big Bend over this weekend. Consequently, we have to wait a few days. My father in law is not well and has complications from diabetes. He is in a nursing care facility and needs round the clock attention at this point. Mumsy is by herself and is not able to attend to him by herself at home as she is recovering from surgery herself. She needs me there whether she knows it or not. She knows it now, because she reads this! He will be in the care facility for a bit so we need to go see him. Case closed. So I am informing the powers that be here what my plans are and I'll be making preparations to leave over the next few days. We'll stay till we come home.

Other news...it was a beautiful day here today. Two days till Peep day! The excitement is killing me!! Bobbie is taking her grand kids to the Easter Egg Hunt in the morning and I know they will have a blast. We went to find baskets for the kids today....and there were almost NONE!! I know...that's what happens when you wait till the last minute! But she found some that were acceptable. It's weird...the commercial baskets now a days are almost creepy! They are full of plastic toys and teeny tiny bags of candy. I remember when we made baskets for the kids. They were full of milk and white chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, those pastel colored hard shelled marshmallow eggs, chocolate coated marshmallow eggs, PEEPS!!!!!, plastic eggs with little candies inside, foil covered chocolate eggs, let's see...what else...speckled malted milk balls, and of course a stuffed plush bunny in a beautiful and colorful basket.

When I think of Easter...I think of the Sunrise Service with breakfast at the sponsoring church with powdered eggs and biscuits, Easter lilies, new shoes and a pretty dress...a hat with flowers...daffodils...I love Easter.

I need to write a few emails tonight...so I'll sign off and get busy. Have a great night!
