A bit of Spring



I wanted to share this little slice of Spring. These flowers I got were just too pretty not to post a picture of them. They are so colorful, huh?

I had to come up for some air for a moment from all I have going on. Yesterday began Spring Break from my courses, and I have been needing desperately to relax for a bit. So, yesterday, my friend Kathy came over after work to spent the rest of yesterday with me. With school and work, I so rarely get free time to spend with my friends. Although they understand my busy schedule, I feel like I neglect them. So, I have to reconnect with them from time to time. First, we went to a local flea market. We love browsing those. And this one you could spend a week in and not see everything. They have some really neat old stuff there (among the mountains of junk). We then went for chinese food, a favorite of ours. And to top it off we went to see the movie Meet the Browns with Angela Bassett. Nice chick-flick! I laughed, I cried, I pigged out on theatre popcorn. We had a thoroughly great time.

It was a much needed momentary reprieve from the Everest-sized pile of work I have in front of me on this break. It was a reprieve from that frantic feeling of having deadlines to meet, and not having enough time (or so it chronically seems) to meet them.

With Easter upon us tomorrow, I thought the flowers would add a bit of holiday festivity. And to bolster the festivity, here is a pic I received in an email entitled: The Ultimate Peep Show. I got a kick out of it. Hope it makes you laugh.






Happy Easter, All

I love you.

Back from Germany

Hi All,

Well, I just came back from my trip to Germany. Didn't really get a chance to tour the area but was able to taste the schnitzel and German beer! Not a bad combination. I will have to get back there to just spend time exploring.

On another note, I just recently heard from Aunt Jeanne and it appears a cousin of hers(and Mom's), and his family, lives over here in Scotland and his son's daughter is actually performing in a play in London. I'm going to contact them all and plan to visit the Scotland clan and also catch the play...I'm not sure how we're related but we are somehow I believe...right now thinking about it hurts my head. The play she's in is Major Major Barbara Opened in London's National March 4. I'll let you know when I hear back from them.

Well take care. Let me know what's being going on.

Love to all, Debbie
