Welcome to Benson!

Congratulations to Devin, Laura, and big brother, Stratton, on the arrival of new baby Benson today. I've seen pictures and he's a cutie! This makes me a great-aunt!

The grass is getting very green here, especially with all the rain we've had. I know the farmers here in Iowa are waiting and wanting to get in their fields to work. The weather has stayed on the chilly side, but I'm hoping the sun will come out soon.

This is my last week to work nights at Waldorf College. How will I keep myself busy throughout May?!? I may be doing some day work at the college from May-August.

The regular school year is winding down too. We've received our first graduation invite.
Geoff graduates from St. Olaf College at the end of May.

I went tanning today. I don't know if it's helping my psoriasis or not. At least I' getting some 'summer' color! I know I'm tired of the itching and red patches on my skin.

I hope everyone had a great Easter holiday!

I plan to watch the Royal Wedding on Friday. Anyone want to join me?!?

LOVE YA!

Happy Easter!

As I type this, Easter morning is beginning to awaken. It's still a little chilly outside, but looks like it's going to be a wonderful day! Happy Easter to you all!
Later today Lynne, geoff and I will travel to Nora Springs to enjoy an Easter feast with the Sage-Atkinson clan. I'm bringing 2 traditional Sherrill dishes: jelly bean cone cupcakes and fluff plus scalloped corn.
What a surprise we had last Tuesday when it snowed! Some schools even got out early! The school where I was working did - at 10:15am. I did go to work at Waldorf College that evening. It really turned out to be just heavy, wet snow.
Congratulations to Jimmy & Megan A. on the birth of their new daughter, Nora Rose. What a pretty name and a pretty baby!
I enjoyed coffee and talk last Friday with Geoff and my sister Tina and her husband Kevin in Clear Lake. T & K were on their way to Cedar Falls to visit their children and grandson. Tina surprised us with homemade jelly bean cone cupcakes.
Next week is my last week of working nights at Waldorf College. Their semester ends on April 29th.
Lynne is done May 6th and Geoff isn't finished until May 12th. He graduates on May 29th.
