Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all our friends and family. Spring came in quite nicely this past week. We have been in the 50's and 60's most of the week and all the snow has melted on the valley floor. We are enjoying the longer days and the warmer weather.

The past week has gone by quickly. Monday we had our own St. Patrick's Day celebration and introduced some of our new found friends to corned beef and cabbage. It was enjoyed by all.

Andy was pretty much gone all week. His trial started on Tuesday and he was not seen again until Friday. The case got done sooner than expected. It was supposed to go for six days, but it wrapped up after four. The jury is still out in its deliberations which is usually not a good sign. The case was tough. Andy's job was to put the client's case on, so he did direct examination of 5 witnesses, including his client. All reports are that he did a good job.

Andy has taken up swimming again. Two weeks ago he got the family pool pass and each morning since then he has gone to swim. He has met a few new people who are regular swimmers.

Gail and the boys missed Andy, but overall had a good week. Matthew has taken to swimming and Saturday he worked very hard at swimming one length of the pool. He did a good job and we are hoping with a bit of practice he will be able to do one lap, which will qualify him to be on the community swim team. If he makes it he will get to swim every afternoon. Nikolas was very excited. Yesterday, he and Andy went to the golf course and he got to use the new clubs Jim brought him a few weeks ago. He had a great time. He took a bucket of balls and went to the driving range and launched a few.

That about sums up our week. We hope you are all well and on this Easter Day take a few minutes to reflect upon the great significance of this day. Until next week.
