HAPPY EASTER:
PAT IS BUSY PREPARING "A FEAST FOR THE KING" IS PROBABLY THE WAY SHE WOULD SAY IT. IT WILL BE GOOD. SHE MADE A SPECIAL TRIP YESTERDAY TO GET SWEET POTATOES, GUESS WHY, AND GOT A HAM OUT OF THE FREEZER, AND PROBABLY OTHER THINGS I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. GOOD BYE DIET FOR TODAY. WELL MAYBE FOR A WHILE....AM GAINING SLOWLY. NOT GOOD.

GOT A CALL YESTERDAY ABOUT RENTING THE MORSBACH FARMS SOUTH GUEST HOME. IT WAS A NICE LADY FROM KANSAS WHO GREW UP IN ARKANSAW BUT THE KIDS HAD MOSTLY MIGRATED FROM HOME. THEIR MOM LIVES IN PLUM CITY BUT DOESN'T HAVE ROOM FOR 12 EXTRA PEOPLE TO STAY A WEEK. SO SHE IS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE. MAYBE HAVING VACATION RENTAL HOMES IN WESTERN WISCONSIN WILL WORK. HOPE SO.

IT'S ANOTHER GREY OLD DAY WITH REAL FINE SNOW FLAKES FALLING. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN DYING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, HAVE BEEN ADDING DIFFERENT ANTI-VIRUS AND FIREWALL PRODUCTS. THE WORST PART IS MY USB PORT WON'T READ MY COMPACT FLASH CARD SO I CANT GET NEW PICTURES INTO ANYTHING. JUST GOT THROWN OUT OF THE KITCHEN. WAS TOLD IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS HOW SHE WAS MAKING THINGS, SHE'S WINGING IT. ANYWAY EVERY TIME I ADD ANOTHER PROGRAM SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS. YESTERDAY I ADDED NORTON 360, AND IT BLOCKED MY E MAIL. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO YOU FIND OUT HOW TO TURN THE EMAIL SCAN OFF AND E EMAIL WORKS. GOLLY, JUST LIKE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO!!! (ACTUALLY I THINK HIS REAR HAS BEEN GLUED TO THE COMPUTER CHAIR FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS.)

PAT AND I TOOK A WALK OUT TO THE MAIN POND THIS MORNING TO SEE THE DUCKS. TOOK THE CAMERA BUT THE NEW BATTERIES FOR THE CAMERA DIED. EVERYONE TELLS ME TO GET RID OF MY OLD STUFF THAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY, AND GET NEW STUFF. NEW STUFF DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK EITHER. I CAN ATTEST TO THAT!
