I'm lazy today & don't feel like doing  much.  Could start spring cleaning but ---!

Thurs. we went to Erie - Kim, who drove, Barb & I & 2 friends of Kim.  We left at 9:45 A.M. & ate lunch as soon as we got there.  Then we had about 2 hours to look around.  They now have Barb's favorite store (where you got the sweatshirt) & we spent some time there.  Barb got a couple of tops & shorts.  They have so many nice things.  We also spent time at T. J. Max & PharMore Drug store.  Latter is where I like to look for things.  We were home about 5 pm./  Rained all the way home.

Barb took Thurs. & Fri. off.  After my hair appt. on Fri. Barb & I went to the Pastry shop for an early lunch & we shopped a bit.

Sun. Lar & Kim were here for a 5 pm Easter & Birthday dinner.  We waited to celebrate Dale's birthday. I'll think you for his card & book.  Both he & Lar enjoyed looking thru it.

About 10 days ago our pastor had a mini stroke & missed Palm Sun services.  The asst. to the Bishop was with us.  Then he was hospitalized due to an extremely high blood pressure count & they also found he has sugar.  He was in church on Sun. & preached but the Bishop's Asst. had the liturgy & communion.  Gary will have to take it easy for awhile.  He is 48, a dangerous age so he's had his warning.

Heard from Gen.  Edith, Edna & Frank would be at Gen's for Easter dinner.  Mon-Wed they have Swedish relatives on Ed's side.  They'll stay with  Edith & be at Ed & Gen's Mon. for dinner.  They'll sightsee, all be at Edith's for Tues. dinner.  Wed. they'll go out to eat & they leave at noon on Thurs.  Because of this visit, Millie's birthday luncheon is delayed.  Edna, Millie, Edith & Gen go out for lunch on each birthday.

Gen wrote Edna saw the eye Dr. & she's had some bleeding on one eye & will have some laser work on it.  I meant to call her last nite but forgot until it was too late.

Frank (cousin) is now at a Jewish home & seems to be doing better as they have more therapy there.  He invited Ed & Gen to a Seder dinner on Good Fri.  A prime rib dinner.  I'm anxious to hear more about it.  It's funny.  Gen is so concerned about Frank's clothes when he has to see a Dr.  She makes sure he should wear slacks, shirt, etc.  She'll wash his shirts if they look dirty.  He usually wears jogging outfits which is best as they are so easy to get on & off.

Ed found a kitten in their barn & fed it milk so now they have a cat.  Gen wrote come & meet her!  She knows I'm not fond of cats.

Gen likes the family picture.  Her's is the first I've heard after sending them.

Are you knee deep in taxes today, or have you already mailed your taxes.  There is a lot of "stuff" on T.V. today concerning late payments, resistors, etc.  Can be interesting to listen to.

There was an interesting cartoon in the paper last week.  It showed a man trying to resist watching baseball on T.V. & he couldn't resist.  I watched a preseason game on Sat:  Braves beat the Yankees & part of the Sun nite game on E.S.P.N.  We're ready to watch WWOR, ESPN, & TBS.  The 26th the Mets play at Colorado & I hope they show a lot of the new stadium - like they did in Toronto.  Part of ESPN's "triple play".  Aft it's the Yankees & late nite a coast game.

Better get busy - put clean clothes away.  Fun to be lazy.
