DR JOHN G mentioned Miss Shirley Temple a couple of days ago.

I remember a story in Buddy Ebsen's book - if you've heard it, move along.....

He was supposed to do a routine with Temple in Captain January.  Now I don't like his "eccentric" style of dance - Ray Bolger does the same thing.....and he's certainly not the easiest face to look at even back in 1936.  He worked for several days on the dance.  One morning a limo pulled up to the rehearsal hall and Temple got out.

He started to show her the routine.  Eight year old Temple said:  "Is the routine set yet?"  And he said: "No."  And Temple said: "Call me when it's set."  She got into her limo and left.

Friday evening, Fr. Richard went to the Dayton ‘burbs to conduct a service and Rob went to their former church to attend one.  Charlotte and her Mama and Gram stayed home and watched “Easter Parade.”  Charlotte applauded after each dance number.

Our niece Lauren, son J (age 7, almost), and her mother Jayne came for Saturday lunch.  We ordered burgers from The Jug and Granddad brought home Central Pastry cookies for dessert.  Lauren set up an Easter egg hunt in our backyard and J and Charlotte had a great time.

Saturday evening we colored a few Easter eggs.  Last year, at her house, Charlotte was content to sit in her high chair and watch us do it.  But this year she hollered, “I try!” so she sat in Rob’s lap and she and Mama took turns.

Easter morning, Fr. Richard went back to Beavercreek to celebrate and I went with Charlotte’s family to their former church.  We all stopped at Kroger on the way home - Richard for ice, Rob for gas, and me for wine.  We then prepared our traditional Easter feast of green (Jello) eggs and ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, and yeast rolls.

Richard’s brother David and his wife Kathy arrived about 4.  Aunt Kathy won Charlotte’s heart with a plushy Peppa Pig and everyone else’s with bunny cakes from Servatii Bakery in Cincinnati.  Charlotte crashed as soon as they left and Gram wasn’t far behind.

Wow! Dr Ginny, those kids have been busy! So both Charlotte and new baby are both born in June? 

Yep.  Charlotte’s birthday is in early June and the new baby is due later in June.

Hopefully, they won't be given one gift for the two of them.  At least they aren't twins, so it's much less likely.

I didn't even think of that.

In elementary school I was invited to a birthday party for a classmate.  My mother sent me with two gifts, one for her twin sister.  I always remembered that lesson.  Years later when Bryan went to a birthday party for the twins across the street I was shocked to find he was the only one who took two gifts instead of a combination gift.  Their mother let me know how much she appreciated the separate gifts.

I don’t know. I saw a story about a lamb who ran off and hadn’t been sheared for three years.

Only three??  I saw a video of a sheep that hadn't been shorn in SEVEN years! :o

I've been going mad for the past three hours because I could not get the recordign budget to balance. here the fat hell did 17,000 euros go? I finally realized that the recording venue wasn't 2,840 euros for the entire sessions; it was for one day! I'm balanced now.

I’m furious today. Our symphony musicians have been on strike for months. They have also scheduled several concerts at a church near the theater where they generally play. The next concerts, in May, are to be conducted by the conductor who has led them to new heights. He’s been in San Antonio for 12 years now. Because he agreed to conduct, the symphony board fired him today.

I have made an appointment with the Fence People to discuss a fence in my backyard.  I only need on on the longest side.....the neighbor beside me takes care of one side and the other side has a nice picket fence that I want to keep.  The 4th side is the house & gate I will keep.

So we shall see what choices I am given.
