Teaching the art of Easter Egg decorating is fun no matter where.  

Here are the Japanese students who did such a good job of decorating Easter eggs and had such fun.  Wendy, Bob and Andy's daughter is a teacher over there and loves to open little minds and hearts to new and fun activities.  From their expressions I'd say she is doing a good job. 

The Pepper Mill in Reno,Nevada.  I would say the casino has had an addition or two since I was last there.   Wow!

A new Monday, didn't I just say that?   Seems time just does not stand still.    Christine had a successful flight to Houston, Texas where she will visit the  Home office and catch up with the faces to those voices she hears every day.   She met some of the workers last visit, but a few new folks have been added and now they can put a face to the voice.   It should be an interesting and busy week for all.     Her two black cats want her home now;   they want to be spoiled and petted and just do not understand where she goes off to.    Patricia is watching over them and they even tolerate Emma although at a distance.  They are still bringing pieces of paper up over the stairs, leaving the pieces at the top of the stairs and dropping others as they make a trail to the kitchen.    We have puzzled over their behavior and have no idea why they do this.   It could be a tiny piece of a scrap piece of paper, or it could be a whole sheet.  Sometimes it is an envelope or just a scrap of paper from the waste basket.  They do not seem to care but do lay the pieces out in the same pattern all the time.    I wonder what and why they find it such fun to do.  We are puzzled.  If they are trying to tell us something, we are not getting their message. If we could get them to pick up their messes we'd have it made.

 

Pat and I made up our favorite sandwich.  It has a name but it alludes me at the moment, but it has roast beef, green peppers,  onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese.    The secret in taste is the worstershire sauce you add to the steaming pan.    A soft roll and delicious doesn't even come close to describing the taste.   We watched a television show , a new series that has to do with students plotting murder and mayhem as they study to be lawyers.   Not my cup of tea , so to speak, and  not a good tale for the young minds watching it,  and it doesn't do anything for old minds either.     Where are the good writers?   Where at the story tellers?    Turner Classics had "Little Women' on which I have seen a dozen times over a life time.  The original and the remake,  give you the treasures of smiles and tears as you become a part of the story.     Soft tales do not addle the brain but sure make the heart sing.   

 

So today take time out to watch an old movie.   Invite a friend to keep you company.    Be good, be kind, be generous and share you with those you love and like.    Make some one person feel good about themselves;  a tiny bit of attention can make or break their day.    A hug does wonders and just think  you too are on the receiving end.    Try it out a few times today and find out for yourselves.   Hugs to all.
