Happy Spring + Easter! March has been tough on the blog, but we know everybody's busy + looking forward to a well-earned break. Dom + 6 friends from Stevens Point stopped for a long lunch on their return from a service mission in downtown Chicago, with a side trip to Bodyworks in Milwaukee. They were a very nice + hungry bunch. Mom gave Nic 50 gold dollars that she's very much enjoyed regifting to people who really enjoy the gold, + everybody had to find their golden easter egg in our now accessible back yard. Nic had a big article in the paper that I have to keep hearing about.
Jeff + Nicki, I liked all the Oscar movies well, but Atonement perhaps a little less. But I couldn't put the book down even tho I knew the whole story, because he writes so well. I wish I'd done it in reverse order. I'm also glad I read Kiterunner first: I don't know if I'd have liked it without the read first. Again such excellent writing. And I very much enjoyed No Country for Old Men both ways, but maybe preferred seeing the movie first.
I missed my chance to use central WI dancers for Rhinelander acts, but beware of folks in western garb!
Em's very excited. She has never had her own sleeping bag before, let alone a cold-rated three-season lightweight space-age sleeping bag, and we are so happy about the new tent that we insisted on pitching it in the living room and watching Battlestar Galactica from it last night.
