We spent most of our afternoon in Iowa today. We went to Manly to visit Roger's granny (lady in the purple). We hadn't been down to see her in awhile and she sure seemed happy to see us. She reminisced about the days when Roger and Randy would come and stay at her house. Roger would follow her around the garden and when it came time to shuck the peas he would eat them as soon as she shucked them. After we visited with Granny we went to Bob, Pat & Shari's for supper. Good food and a quick visit. Shari is having surgery tomorrow to have her kidney removed. She is still in quite a bit of pain. Hopefully pulling that kidney will take care of that. It was a great weekend. Got lots of work done in the yard yesterday. We filled a 10 yard dumpster full of junk. I think we'll need another one to go through all of Roger's sheds.

Gma home for the day
Easter Sunday was a good day. Josie and I went to Lewiston this morning and picked up Gma. She spent the day at home today. It was a good day with good food and lots of family. Patty and Jeff had to work but the rest of us were available. The kids had fun playing and hunting for candy. At the end of the day James and my Mom worked with his pony while Gma and I went through yet more boxes of knick-knacks. (I swear they never end, maybe they multiply in the back room). Mom took Gma back to Lewiston so I could get home with the kids to finish up homework. I think the day went very well. Gma still needs to be a bit stronger I think. Still very shaken when getting up from a chair. Also can't "walk" very far, even with the walker. However, time will take care of this too.

Long Lost Family
I went to Iowa last minute yesterday to visit Eric (on the left) and his family. Eric came up from Indiana for the weekend to see Shari & "the boys" as well as Bob & Patty & family. It has been a long time since we had everybody all together in one place. I had great fun. Shari has some kidney problems and will be going in on April 20th to have a kidney removed. In the mean time she is on some heavy antibiotics for an infection and pain killers. I can't wait for the next family get together. Eric, his wife and 2 boys made the long trek west. I'm glad they did.
