Happy Easter!

I hope you are having a relaxing Easter day. I'm SO glad you didn't have to into work today!

We will watch general conference again here at home on our computers. We'll probably take a short walk around the block, eat turkey leftovers with Koponicks (Julia cooked the turkey yesterday), call kids, write lesson plans in the afternoon.

Mark is feeling better, but still not back to his full health. I'm really glad he has had the weekend to continue to mend.

Dorothy and I had a wonderful training walk yesterday. We ended up walking 9 miles in 3 hours! Neither of us is very stiff & sore this morning, so I guess we're in pretty good shape for being a couple of 55-year-old grandmas. We got rained on a little bit for the first 1/2 hour of our walk, but then the sun came out for a while and we got too warm. Then it was clouds again, and an occasional brief, light sprinkle, but not even enough to pull my hood back up. Dorothy took lots of pictures; I took a few but then my camera battery ran out. I think she'll be posting a bunch of the pictures next week on her "Walking in Circles" post on The Skinny. She has a really nice camera that she bought last month, takes excellent photos.

In addition to the great exercise, we had a nice, long chat, which we haven't had for a very long time. It was a treat to spend 3 hours together.

Polly has a really nice Easter video link posted on her blog. It's one of the Church videos about Christ and his role as our Savior. I think you'd enjoy it.

I did some more work last night on my NBCT (National Board Certified Teacher) recertification portfolio. It's coming along, and even with a busy month ahead, I think I'll be able to have it put together by the deadline (April 30).

Happy Easter! Thank you for telling me about the emails you have been sending to the kids. You are a force of love and unity in our family. I love you!
