Dearest Chris... So glad you had a nice day!!! we\'ve had rain all day so I was inside most of the day... WOWOWOW!!! YOU ARE GETTING LOTS AND LOTS of B-DAY GIFTS!!! You\'ve got to be excited especially as it is so early in the week!

I\'m amazed that you got the package I sent already--just sent it Saturday! Plus, it was a very inexpensive pack to send as I just sent it first class mail. It was my friend Jennifer at the counter at the post office (she\'s the wife of one of Mary\'s boyz...). Heck, the computers were down and everything--I still owe Jennifer a dollar as I had intended to use my ATM, but came up with most of what I needed. I also sent a package to Cameryn and Brooklyn for the spring holidayz...

Quiet day on the farm with a little laundry and lots of heavy cleaning. Neverending job of keeping a house going can keep me buzy when I get bored... Like I used to tell my co-workers at the gallery, \"Time to lean, time to clean!!!\" I still do it myself as I don\'t like to just sit around reading or watching TV or on the computer all day.. Now that I\'ve lost weight, I have lots of energy early in the day so I just keep moving and getting things done!

Love to you and Mom and Dad and everybody in CT!!! Have a great evening!!! I am not a basketball fan at all so I have little on which to comment... Shows what I know: I thought March Madness was only pro basketball. I don\'t know why as the Buckeyes also have basketball teams... Enjoy you evening!!! xoxoxo Cj
