Hoppy Easter!!!
Ok… I stole that from Julia. As always, mom has the house decorated with bunnies and eggs, and everything else Easter, as well as of course the crucifiction and resurrection. With my Dad, brother and myself always giving her a hard time, she always does a good job of making the house warm and welcoming and aptly decorated. Good Job Mom!
Today was another beautiful day here in Roanoke and Lauren and I took advantage of the weather and strolled through my parents neighborhood. It’s amazing to me how green the grass is, and how colorful all of the trees and flowers are. I guess living in the city, and traveling to Brescia, Rome, Milan, Naples, and Genoa, etc… well, I guess I spend most of my time in the city and forget how much I enjoy the greenery.
John came over and he, dad and I watched the final round of the Masters while mom and Lauren hung out upstairs chatting (only mildly frightening) Actually, this was Lauren’s 3rd or 4rth trip to Roanoke, and she and Mom hit it off right away, so they have no problem 
sitting and chatting for hours. That’s a good thing. I think. =) The final round of the Masters was amazing. I never thought I’d get so fired up watching golf on television, but the scenery in Augusta was truly breathtaking, and the match was full of unexpected twists and turns.
We had a wonderful dinner together, and then settled back downstairs to watch the final playoff of the Masters. Julia stopped over for a little while. It’s always good to see her. I really wish she and I lived closer together. Even though its been over a decade since we lived near each other, I still miss having her around.
Almost forgot…. Hoppy Birthday Holly Maybe!!!
