Not doing much these days so you'll get a letter.  My back is better but still sore & it is very limiting in what I can do.  Getting out of bed is the hardest.  Have seen the4 chiropractor twice & have a Thurs. appt.

Dale had to take his "Summer" car out last Sun. due to hitting a deer Sat nite.  I didn't see the car but Barb did, Sun A.M.  Naturally a thousand tho'ts went thru my head but it was a deer so that was a relief.  It mainly damaged the radiator & he is looking for a replacement.  He'll have to go to the junk yard on Sat.  He still isn't ready to have the summer car out yet.

Sat. Barb & I usually go to the Mall but I decided I couldn't take it & I missed using a Penney's 25% discount & a 20% card from Bon Ton.

Mon. Dad & I went to the Mall & I looked for baseball Tshirts but they didn't have many.  Got 23 for Eddie - 1 should fit (Fla "Marlins") & the "Atlanta" one will be too big but he can grow into it, or wear it oversized like the big guys do.

The bathroom is completed & we are so satisfied with the outcome.  Lar still has some "stuff" to carry away, including stuff in the basement.  We try to get ride of stuff but it is so hard.  Junk in the attic & basement.  You're lucky you have neither attic or basement.

We have a glorious day after almost an inch of rain on Mon.  Snow is melting but it will be awhile yet before it's gone.

Soon baseball will be here & it will be nice to have it on TV again.  Atlanta has gotten some tough breaks.

For sure the pkg goes out this week & will be sent to the library.

Kim is in charge of a musical at Sheffield Hi & we'll be going to it - about the middle of Apr.  She is a busy gal, also.  Did I mention she closes the business after school is out.  They've had too many problems with the owner - toilet overflow causing flooding & still he does nothing to fix it.  And they always pay their rent on time.

Besides a few aches we are all fine.

Clothes are washing & other chores out of the way so I'll drop a note to you.

It's warmed up so now they are worried about flooding.  We can see that snow has seeped into the ground.  They were also worried about the ice on the Conewango Creek - that it would plug up & cause flooding.

I've put together several 1000 pc. puzzles & have one to finish.

Dale hates the Bills, hates Jim Kelly & is probably disgusted with us for rooting for the Bills.  Sure hope they can do it this time.  Go Bills!  It brings excitement at this dull time of the year, esp. with this cold weather.  The house has kept warm.  We even had an elec emergency  proclaimed by the gov. (Casey)

Bathroom work is progressing.  Lar didn't expect this extra electrical work.  Said there was too much on one circuit so he changed things & they are right now.  Now he can work on the tub area & get that in.  We chose paper - small print on top, larger print on bottom & a border between.  We decided on linoleum as with a rug it's harder to get the dust in corners.  I'll have to buy a mop- but I don't think it will be that much more work for me to clean.  Once the bath is completed I hope to clean upstairs good.  Houseclean.  Hope I don't lose my desire.

The puzzle I'm working on now is a picture of home in Colonial Williamsburg.  The boys should like the Amusement park.  We enjoyed our visit there.

Hope you enjoy the articles I enclose in my letters.  I think they are cute.

I think they have missed about 56 days of school so far - all the "snow days" have been used so they might miss part of the Easter vacation, short as it is.

Time to check the drier or is it dryer - so I'll close.  Oh yes, the living rm. T.V. shows an all green screen so something must be wrong!  Maybe we'll need a new larger screen T.V.!!  Lar & Kim have a nice 27' they got at Turner's.
