That is a beautiful melody to run through your head – I will sing and rejoice too! Here’s to spring – it sounds like we may be closer that those in Chicago since they have so much snow on the ground – it will be wonderful to visit though – it will be spring in our hearts even more

So glad that you found your singing voice! Perhaps your vocal chords were inspired by the red-winged blackbirds and meadowlarks at Sanctuary!

I found out today that I need to have a cataract removed. This was the result of an eye injury that I suffered a few years ago when Darby (my dog) and I were playing and he tried to jump over me. One of his hind feet landed right in my eye — ouch! Anyway, I have been collecting sympathy emails from my brothers and sisters, and here is what sister Kris had to say:

Well, Mindy! Goodness sake! I remember when Aunt Hilda and Uncle Ray had
cataract surgery. I was worried about them–so I called out to their house
and Charles answered. And how were they?
He said, ” Oh, they’re out on the porch swattin’ flies!!!!” So, you’ll be
okay, too! Love you! K

So, I am definitely looking forward to swattin’ some flies!

Happy Soon-To-Be-Spring, Connie!

Love,
Mindy

Glad that Spring may have decided to pay you a visit — you people (and dog) have certainly had a heavy winter.

PRICE OF “HEAVEN” BEGINS SEASONAL CLIMB

Now that’s a headline that might attract some attention!! Actually, we just returned from two nights at our favorite San Clemente motel (the one I mentioned in response to your comment about your idea of an ocean-oriented heaven). It was, indeed, heavenly, and, in fact, the rates now start to climb for the busy summer season — our pleasant winter, week-day studio w/ full kitchen was $125, but it costs more than $300 on weekends in July and August.
We’ll head for ‘heaven’ again late Fall.

We are so glad that you are rolling (and singing!) along. Know that you are still very much in our daily thoughts.

Spring may spring!!
