From Mississippi to California!

Well, the "Mom, I need you, can you come" call came last week and here I am in California.  Gillian has been having a few pregnancy problems and no one was quite sure what it was.  I flew out last Saturday and will leave this Saturday morning.  It's been a grand week with Gillian and Owen (Brian is out of town).  First there was the 2 1/2 days of heatwave.  Then, it got chilly.  Strange weather.  Owen is a charmer.  OM, he is such a cutie!  He is talking a little and adding new words all the time.  He misses, misses, misses his daddy.  
Gillian is doing much better for the time being.  She just passed the 32 week mark and that makes her feel much better.  She hopefully will go to full term.  No pain this week but she returned to the chiropractor and I think (hope) he is helping with a (he thinks) pinched nerve and dislocated pelvis.  Anyway, she has been doing well this week and I just hope it continues.
I have to go and wash my clothes to be packed for the early morning departure.  

Later.

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone!  Easter is a day away and we just had what I think was the last cold spell and now spring is really here to stay - I think!  The family is doing well - the children are fine.  Ken and I are on Easter break - for all of one day!  Monday we go back to school and work - that was a long holiday!  
     We took the Winnebago in today for a check up to get it ready for the summer season.  It should be ready in a few days.  The biggest thing wrong is that the step wiring has gone haywire and it keeps moving in and out while we are driving and it squeaks as it goes in and out.  Strange.  The rains have kept us from doing much yard work.  The rain keeps coming every day or two along with some really strong winds.  A few branches have come down and there was a tree that went down on the road.  We were lucky considering the amount of damage done in the surrounding areas.  Roofs came off, trees went down and things were turned over.  I understand in Tennessee a tornado went through today and a couple of people were killed.  I suppose it is that time of the year.
      We hope this finds all of you doing well and enjoying spring.  

     Later.
