Easter

Stanley and Corinne got here on Friday evening and everybody was so tired we just said hello and went to sleep.  Saturday morning Corinne and I decided to check out the new stores down on the corner.  We had Stanley Drive us there and then we went shopping for a while and strolled back.  Since they're still building the shopping center it was hard to find curb cuts to cross the street but we eventually found them and it was a nice afternoon.  On Saturday evening Rich, Vanessa and the kids came over for dinner and to help die Easter eggs.  Janet and the boys got here a little bit late because Janet's Aunt had a heart attack so they stopped to see her on the way.  After we ate the kids died the Easter eggs and we have a really good time talking and catching up.

On Sunday everybody was up pretty early and Stanley made creamed eggs on English muffins, it was very good, I don't know why we only have them on Easter.  We all got Easter baskets and looked for eggs.  I remember going to the store earlier and there was a TON of peeps, every animal and color you can imagine.  When Janet went back later she said there was none.  I guess the new game this Easter is dueling peeps.  You put to peeps in the microwave and strategically place a toothpick in each one and when you turn on the microwave they swell up and what ends up jabbing the other end out what wins... eventually they both explode, some people have WAY too much time on their hands.  Of course we all had to go to you tube and look at all the clips. for dinner we barbecued stakes, corn and the cop and Janet made twice baked potatoes, pretty much my favorite thing in the world... one of them anyway.

They worked like crazy and got everything in my mom's house packed except I think a few drawers.  They even cleaned out both of the sheds at all there is left is move everything to Santa Cruz and a load to the dump.

Today Gene, Pauline and Butler came for a visit.  I haven't seen them for a couple of years so it was nice to get a chance to catch up.  They are redoing their house and brought their contractor so he could get a few ideas from my place.  They brought Subway sandwiches and we had a really nice visit.

Before my mom moves out she had to have the roll in shower redone because it was leaking.  She found a company to do it and while she was talking to the guy she told him that we were moving to Santa Cruz and he asked her if she was moving into a two-story house.  Apparently he had just got done hot mopping two of the showers in my house, talk about a small world.
