Hello,

It has been awhile since I posted. "No news is good news" holds true here. The past few months have been relatively uneventful. We all are ready for spring. The upcoming forecast looks like it might actually be upon us. Hopefully, the freeze last night did not destroy the bulb flowers.

We took a trip to Florida for spring break. We drove...20 hours in the car, there and back. It went really well. The kids had dvds and we had books on tape. I very much enjoyed the scenery through Georgia. We spent a night in a cabin in Warm Springs,Ga. and to get there we were off the freeway for quite a while. It took longer, but really beautiful. We spent a few days in Orlando (very crowded), and then a few days in St.Petersburg. We met up with my sister and her family there. We also were thrilled to get together with my dad and three of his siblings in St. Petersburg. We got to meet Frankie and Helena, grandchildren of my Uncle Bob, for the first time. We departed early Easter Morning after church and got home the following Monday afternoon.

Other than passing the flu bug around the house, we have all been healthy. I have been working four days a week. I will cut back abit when the kids are out for the summer. I have been feeling great, exercising nearly everyday and continuing to follow a raw, vegan diet. I also feel very blessed to have yoga and meditation as a part of my routine. Through the Internet, I have been able to network with other people dealing with cancer and other diseases who also follow the raw, vegan diet. This has been source of tremendous support and inspiration.

We are looking forward to visitors this summer! We also have a trip to Indiana planned in June, as well as, a trip to Minn. for Napper's parents 60th wedding ann.
The next several weeks we will enjoy Brian's soccer games and Bonnie's dance recitals and choir performances. For the most part we keep daily life simple and that suits us perfectly.

Sending lots of love your way. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Love, Denise
