Day 172, Every picture has a story"
As we look forward to Easter Sunday I am reminded of Easter way way back 44 years ago.
It was Holy Saturday, April 13 in 1975. School at the Deaf School in Devils Lake was out for a week. Snow had been in western ND and a couple of students could not get home for the holiday. I volunteered to have Kevin come home with us. Mr. Hayek assured me that his parents would most likely be in town to pick him up on Monday. Guess what? Kevin's parents NEVER showed up the entire week long break so we had a house guest. It was difficult for the boys to communicate with Kevin but he did have some hearing so it kind of worked. Fun, the thing I remember most is Kevin had a continual runny nose which used up an entire box of tissue AND did nothing to keep the boys healthy! In the end I think the boys had fun with him and I am positive Kevin had a better Easter vacation with us than he would have had at home! The sad part was pretty much every morning Kevin was certain Dad would show up that day but of course he did not.

I did not play tennis this morning as there were 2 Dr. appt on the calendar. Terry and I left the house at 8:10 and arrived home 11:50 for TWO appts? Do you think the Dr was running late?
Another warm day, 87, and then somewhat of a cool down for a couple days.
We have been following the reports of the awful fire in Paris. Terry has been to the church but of course I have never been to France. I read where the wood poles used on the inside of the church were each one tree. Not sure how many trees they used but the church is about 800 years old.
