So what happened to April???

Well, frankly I'm not sure!?!? Maybe I can hit the high points.

Of course Easter was in April this year. The Sunrise service was beautiful. The Easter breakfast was delicious and the time of Worship was wonderful. Our Easter cantata was nearly perfect. I believe that everyone was in prefect pitch and we blended together to "make a joyful noise".
I finally got the Royal Ambassador class started on Wednesday nights. Tommy is my Adult helper and we have 9 young men that are so willing to learn. I am looking forward to helping these boys in understanding more about the Father and about nature. We will be camping, fishing and exploring the wonders our world have to teach us. And I say us, because it will be a learning experience for me also.

Sarah and I faced some difficult decisions regarding her back. The decision whether to actually to have the surgery itself was actual very easy. The tough part was the impact the recover time would have on Mama. We will have less time to do for her and be with her. But there are others (folks from church) ready to step in and help.

Spring has brought a time of renewal to the brown of winter. Possible one of the prettiest, blooming springs I can remember. Dogwood, wisteria, iris, daisy, oxalis, azalea, even the china berry trees were the most beautiful of my lifetime. Or did I just take the time to notice??

I have been super busy at jbex, several projects were started and finished. The one not started, that I must work on very soon, is the Repair Video Project. The thing that is causing delays in getting started is I must depend on others to assist me with the project. And our schedules have conflicted many times. Now we gotta just make time to work on it. But, I must be doing something right, I recieved the best raise (percentage) since I have been jbex-ing at Tumi. And my bonus this year was equal to two months salary. What a blessing!!!

We have new fowl family members: Marty, Mark, Maggie, Martha, Melissa and Melinda have joined us on the farm. Molly the Goat has been a bit jealous, but now I think she enjoys sharing her pen with the chickens.

Oh!!! and then there's geocaching - I was able to get a FTF!!! And that's a rare treat around here! Off You Rocker -- Dublin hidden by ParentsofSAM (a freshman Cherrios). So that made it a double WooHoo moment!
