Saturday - March 20

 Chilly start to the day (34) here in the mountains, but the sun is shining and warming up later.

Happy Birthday wishes (big milestone) for Mark's sister Doris today!!!

I have been frustrated with how the blog has been turning out - the caption not under the picture, pictures placed here and there even though I see it as all neat and organized?     ARGHHHH!   I need to see what's going on???

Not sure you saw this yesterday as it was way down on the page?   

                                                   Our sweet kiddos (this year's school pic)

Drew left early today to drive back to Iowa City.    Luke and Maeve stayed in their jammies till almost 11 (Grandma, too) - a nice lazy Saturday morning!

Our nephew Paul (Jim and Lydia's son) lives in WI and has a bakery/cafe with his wife, Candi and her parents.     Paul makes thee most wonderful chocolates and we gave Drew a care package; Davis and Brady birthday treats.    We gave them the list and let them choose.    Cousin Paul came thru with flying colors and made these boys very happy (Brady will be getting his next week).

Davis (Mr. Sweet Tooth) and his Grandpa Mark and GrandBob
checking out all the delicious chocolates and cookies.

Mark has been using his NeuroMD pad on his back since February 26th - more frequently now, but no spasms since he started, so that's a good thing!

Mark and Luke drove my car to Michael's and he gave it a good washing - what a nice guy!   It sure needed it.   
Luke looks like a #1 Illini fan.....although his Uncle Michael and Drew are cheering 
on the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA.

Annette left so much good food for us - today's lunch was delicious corn chowder with kielbasa!   Hit the spot this nippy day.
Maeve had another big win today over Grandpa playing Memory - she's awesome!

Mark and Luke walked to the camp - a 1.5 mile trek but lots of it uphill.    Maeve and I met them there (by car) and we had a fun evening sitting around the fire pit, other heaters, enjoying wine, beer and good food visiting with our kids' friends!    

Nice roaring fire in the big fireplace
