It has been one year on the 17th of this month

It has been one year since mom left us.  I think about her alot and keep finding alot of little treasures in her things she had put together when she was still healthy.  I hope spring is good for all of  you and everyone's health is good.  I appreciate all the aunts and uncles who are allowing me to invade their lives to glean some history of my mom and her family and to be with those who spent alot of time with her.  Happy May!!!

Leslie's Spring blog

April 16, 2009:

Hi again family, I'm sick of Winter (still had a snowfall last week), so I'm hoping Spring is here to stay awhile.

We have 9 members here now. Where are all our old members? I hope our members get/stay active and continue to add to our message board/blog and photo albums. I was very happy to see the new photos from Jaime and Naomi.

I am adding our Allen/Mikesell newsletters to our photo albums. There have been a lot of changes to our family since we had our family reunion picnics in Spokane and passed out the newsletters. I hope that next winter I can find time to add more of our old picnic photos. I really miss seeing everyone now that we don't have our picnics.

I talked to Evan on Easter morning. He was doing good and looking forward to Easter dinner where he lives now. Thelma and Wayne had the house to themselves as Ginny was off on another trip to Africa. Boyd and David are finally back to work after our hard winter. Sheryl is still going to night school.

I would love to see some comments/replies to this new blog. I'll add to it as I find time. I want to do some yard work to lose weight. Both the yard work and the weight creep up on a person.

Hope you all had a great Easter. Let us know what you did.  Love to all, Leslie
