This blog entry is intended to be glorius and light. As Easter approaches, we can each count our many blessings. He has risen. He gives hope to the whole Christian world.
Grasshopper No. 1 is doing her own form of extreme makeover. Facial surgery. Dental work. What pray tell is going on? Seems like a rebirth here too.
Grasshopper No. 2 saw Carlos off to Peru for 7-8 days. I know he was really excited to be going “home” finally after 6 years. Grasshopper No. 2 is negotiating on a horse she can call her own. Something about teaching it not to trot. What is it with girls and horses?
Grasshopper No. 3 celebrates Easter on the eve that his wife, last born, and mother-in-law depart for Ireland for 9 days. I guess the rest of the family will just have to stay home and look for better ski boats.
Grasshopper No. 4 is celebrating the improvement of cash flow. He has a job! Only 30 more years of this and he’ll be rich. If he thinks about it, maybe he is already rich. He wrote a very nice tribute to his mom on his blog. Oooooohhhh!
Grasshopper No. 5 is preparing to go to England for 11 days. She is going alone. Yeah, right! Nobody told her there are lots of places to visit right her in the U.S.
I guess as I close, my thoughts are “what the hell ever happened to the discipline of saving”? Ireland, England, Peru, elective surgery, boats, and horses. Is there something I don’t understand? I guess rich means different things to different people. You are all rich.
Have a VERY HAPPY EASTER!
Love,
Dad(Just Chas.)
