. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU ALL

School is winding down. The excitement continues up until the last day, which is two weeks away. My "hard student" was taken away to a behavior unit to finish out the school year. That has been hard for me and my class. Even though he was difficult, we only had 20 days left at the time. I just hope he gets help because I sure care about him.
Connie and I are going on a road trip for her birthday, May 24. She wants to take her Mazda Miata to CA and go up the coast with the top down. Yes, I'll use sunscreen. We'll stop several places along the way. She's reliving her childhood and I'm glad she's taking me along. I can just picture her mom ,Beth and my mom watching us and chuckling at the connection we've made. I understand that Gram was a different person when she was with her. It brought out her "fun" side.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all of you out there. Connie and I will spend time with Aunt B. She sure looks like mom alot now, since she's lost weight and doesn't wear glasses.
I'm fortunate to have had her as my mother. She loved me unconditionally. I have a hard time doing that at times. But my life would be very empty without my 2 beautiful girls. I love them dearly.
Cory, I'm anxiously awaiting news of your newest little boy. I am praying all will go well.
I love all my nieces and care about each of your lives. I cry for the bad times and applaud(as gramps would have said) at the good times. Thank you for being part of my family.
Happy Days for all.

COLORADO

Colorado was great! I flew in and Nan and Jeff came to get me at the airport. We zipped down to Sue's where I changed and Kelle, Chris and kids plus Sue, Nan, Jeff and I took off for the base. We went to the Academy Theater where the unveiling of the portrait of Gramps was done. Col. Jones had some very nice things to say about him before the unveiling. We then went to the dining hall and had a small reception. Next we were off to the Prep School main building where Lee C. Black's portrait was hung on a blue wall. It matches his eyes.

I spent the rest of the weekend with Nanette and Jeff. I got to see Deanne, Monica, and cute Brendan. He is a hoot. Next time hopefully I'll see Mikey. On Saturday we went to "the meat man's house"(only Nan's kids will know who that is) where we watched conference and had lunch.

Sunday morning I left for the Denver Airport to fly back to Salt Lake and then St. George. Oh what fun!

Looking Forward to Friday

Friday I am planning to board a plane from St. George to Salt Lake, run like a crazy person and make my connecting plane to Denver. Nan will pick me up there and we'll drive down to Sue's. I'll change into my "business suit" and we'll be off to the AFA Prep School. I'll take pictures and will put them on the blog when I get back Sunday.

Teresa's Terrific News: Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend

Connie and I went to the Art Festival that is held on Main Street in St. George. There were alot of vendors from all over the world and we did our share in contributing to their continuation. It was 78 degrees so we drove with her top down and went and got yogurt, then later on out to lunch. We went to check on Aunt Berniece because she has had pneumonia. She feels pretty lousy.

I bought some flowers to plant and some to put in Gram's planter that I have. It's nice to walk around the corner coming into the house and see the flowers.

This morning the three of us went to The Sun River Golf Course Restaurant for brunch. Berniece had to go back home and go to bed afterwards. She still feels awful. It usually takes her 10 days to feel like a humanoid after one of these bouts, but it's been 7 and she doesn't look or feel well.

Michelle, I got my table at Ashley Furniture. In fact most of the furniture in the living roon is from there.

Ihope all of you are having a wonderful Easter!
