Jim had a meeting tonight and so I have some free time on my hands to write. I did my MS Walk last week and I actually made the 4 miles with no problem. I was so suprised! I guess it was easier than I thought and it helped having people to walk with and talk to. Then they just kept pushing treats and drinks at you at every mile. Next year I plan on taking some grandchildren with me as there were lots of kids running the race. It actually was quite fun.

Well, I got the early seeds planted in my garden and then the weather turns very cold and we even had some light snow on Saturday and Sunday. It has been very cold the last 4-5 nights and we are nervous about the fruit trees. The soft fruit will probably really be hurt. Our cherries won't have a lot on them this year.

Jim is really busy trying to get the new circles wired up. We wish we had Mike for a week or two. They have three circles with wires hanging down on every tower and we know Mike would have them fixed up in no time. The wheat underneath them is needing some water. But we are expecting some rain in the next few days.

Boys, you will be glad to hear that day set me up with another rock garden. It is in the corner of the trampoline. I got some weeping cherry trees and some bushes to put in it. Now the FFA flower sale is this weekend. If it warms up I will get some flowers planted in there.

My big thing that I am working on right now is putting on a breakfast for the teachers during teacher appreciation week. Some ladies think that it is just too big to tackle, so some are afraid to help. But with everyone's help it won't be that bad. Actually we will be feeding about as many people as when all my kids and grandchildren are here. So no biggy, huh?

Grandpa McGary is making some flower carts and little donkeys to pull the carts for all the ladies in first ward for Mothers Day. He has 89 of them and is busy painting them. He also made some for all of his daughters, daughter-in-laws, and grandchildren. So on the 3rd of May we are getting together and painting our carts. Sound like a party doesn't it?

Well I had better go and make some cookies. Grandma gave me a new cookie sheet last week and I have yet to use it. She calls me up every other day asking if I have used it. So I had better not disappoint her. Love mom
