Happy Easter

Hope everyone had a great week-end. Ours wasn't too bad. Had some friends over for dinner on Saturday. They are transplants from Nebraska so we've kind of adopted them as extended family. We've shared a few holidays together this year. Couple kids were home today after all. Two grandkids were here so it wasn't as quiet as we thought it would be. My sister and her girlfriend swung by for a quick visit on the way out of town as well. I bought a HUGE ham which was way more than a few of us could eat. We ate ham last night , ham and eggs this morning , cheesy scalloped potatoes with ham for lunch. Also made potato soup with ham and have beans soaking for soup beans with ham and corn bread for tomorrow's dinner. Sadly there is still going to be diced home left for something else. Next year I really need to think about quantity verses how many will actually be home for the holidays. Then again Brendan should be home and the Smitke's WILL be coming to spend part of the holiday with us!
Question for all you military folk out there: My sister was looking for a website that has military e-cards for the holidays. Something a bit more toned down than the "Hope you have a wonderful , fun filled day" to send to the troops overseas. Anyone know of a good site for us to look?
Last word was that Brendan and the boys have moved to their new place and are working on electric , water , internet , etc. Not sure how long it will take but if you are sending emails to him he'll get them eventually just not right away. I don't think their mailing address is going to change at all. I think it will go to the main camp and once a week someone will go back to get things and bring mail back. The first boxes I sent got to him really fast. I'll be interested to see how speedy he'll be getting them now.
Haven't heard from him in a few days but it sounds like they've got a ton of work ahead of them so they'll likely be too busy to do much but work and sleep for awhile. Three men in the company received promotions this past week. Hope to see more of those in the near future. Heard a rumor of medals but won't state anything definite until I hear from Brendan.
Have a great week everyone. Hope Spring gets up and moving soon! Chilly in Ohio this week-end!
