We had quite the time for Easter this year. Mark & family joined us, as did Ed & Lynne, and Mom. Mark came down a day early and stayed a day after. That gave us time to do some extra fun things. For example, we went to College Park Airport and Aeronautics Museum. The great stuff included flying a helicopter climbing to the very top of the “control tower”.

Easter has lots of traditions, from ham and potato salad for dinner to egg hunts for the kids. The girls had a great time. Mira found the best hiding place ever in the pocket of the child’s chair. It was such a great spot that when it was time for her to hide eggs, she put as many as possible into the pocket.

Everybody had a great time, and all of us hope you had a terrific Easter.

This weekend there were so many activities we had to pick and choose what to do. Going to one of the Baltimore Museum of Art brunch/art talks was a sure winner. The talk was about how Fratino ,a living artist, is influenced by Matisse, with side-by-side paintings. Tomorrow we will attend a concert in UMBC’s amazing auditorium.

It’s also time for spring cleaning. My last major project is the back porch. I’m looking forward to getting these projects finished.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
