Hi everyone. Just wanted to let all of you know that Kayla accepted a job at St. Francis Hospital! She will be working PRN in the radiology department. She also has been accepted at the University of Iowa to finish her degree. She will be doing all of her classes on line. We are excited for her as she really wanted to finish her degree as well as start getting a pay check!

Andy & Amy are engaged!

Just wanted to let everyone know what Andy got for his birthday - a fiance! Wow, talk about a gift that keeps on giving.

We are so excited and thankful.

Wishing them the best in their new life together.

Invitations

Dear Family, I have two invitations for you. The first is for Easter dinner at 5o'clock in the multipurpose room at the nursing home hosted by me. I need to know how many will come so we can plan. Let me know by the seventeenth. The other one is to a birthday party for my brother Bob to celebrate his 75th birthday. It will be held at the American Legion in Cissna Park with an open house from 3 to 5 on May 1st. Every one is welcome. Let your family know if they don't read the blog. Love, Mom or Grandma

Happy 50th

Happy Birthday Mike,
Fifty years, that is a long time. Have a great day and year. I don't remember very much about when you were born, I guess I was too busy.I'm very proud of the man you have become and wish you God's blessings as you continue on your way. Love, Mom

Happy Birthday Duane

Hope you have a wonderful day - and that the weather is nice enough for you to take the day off and go fishing!

We would call that a 'Miracle at Stinky Bay'.

I wanted to wait until David had been in the family a year before exposing him to ERS.
But he watched it while he was in Florida over Christmas.
And life for Tara has never been the same - "drop your curly locks and put on your socks".

And to make matters worse, Duane watched it while he was in Florida - but I guess he has been in the family long enough.

So to all the women in the family I apologize.
But you are 'prettier than the sun glistening off my riffle barrel'!

Florida

Hi Everyone! Duane and I and Mom are enjoying our time with Mike and Faye. It is a beautiful sunny day. Duane just got back from fishing and I think he is going to try the pool. We enjoyed our cruise. It was nice to sit on our balcony and watch the full moon over the ocean. Sat. eveing we sat on the patio around the fire pit and also enjoyed the moon. We will be getting home tomorrow night about midnight. Love you all. Eileen
