How often does your W call you or correspond with you? I'm just curious. Does she seem happy?

It sounds like you had a nice Easter. You are fortunate to have family closeby. That's awesome.

BTW, I made the most amazing carrot cake for Easter. I bought it to a family get-together and a lot of people said it was the best carrot cake they've ever had. Have you ever heard ot the Silver Palate cookbook? I belong to a recipe list (even though I rarely cook!!!) and while trying to find their white cake recipe for a friend, I heard about the famous carrot cake!!! Yummmmmm it really is extremely good.

There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
