Lori you got the best mom & dad ever. Happy Easter to everyone!
There you are, I think we can all agree, Lori has great parents, all 20 of them or however many there are, ha ha.
Our day was filled with work, errands, dinner with friends and a little house cleaning. I won’t go into all the details as you’ve heard it all before. Uncle T and Aunt Ali were kind enough to take the boys last night so we could go to dinner with our friends in Cherry Creek. They’re super good people and really fun and we had a good time.
Mom took the boys and Jag’s friend to the museum yesterday and was gone from about 10 until 3. They went to see the mammoth exhibit that includes the little baby they found frozen in either ice or tar pits that was perfectly preserved, organs and all. Hope they don’t do a Jurassic Park and bring them back!
Today we’ll be coloring some eggs and getting ready for tomorrow. I think we’ll go to church early and then we’re all going to Grandma’s for brunch or lunch or dinner, I’m not sure.
I think it’s going to rain here too today which will be a first for this season. We need the moisture.
I guess I’ll run and get to the gym although I have a sore foot this morning. In closing, Grandma Dix, we (or I) am not negative on the future. We too are optimistic but just disappointed in our elected officials that all seem to care more about keeping their jobs than doing what’s right for America. Do you really think that the stream of endless laws that politicians keep passing to regulate every little thing we do will help? Limiting the size of your soda pop?Big government and over regulation of our lives takes away our freedoms, no matter how you slice it. I guess with us having kids we are more sensitive to what’s going on as we know our kids are going to have to live through this mess. You have to decide for yourself what’s too much. Most people are apathetic or don’t care until it personally affects them. For example, hopefully something like Obamacare won’t be making health decisions for any of you one of these days. Hopefully the government won’t be garnishing bank accounts and taking your money hto balance the budget. Hopefully food won’t be rationed due to shortages and on it goes. My whole point is, politicians, on both sides, do not have our best interests at heart. I know it’s our system but it seems we’ve gotten away from what made us great, small government, a free market and capitalism. As Ronald Reagan one said,
“We must not look to government to solve our problems. Government is the problem.”
Then you have this,
“There is no criminal class in America, besides Congress.” – Mark Twain
That right there should sum it up. I say kick them all out and start over. There all rich old fat cats anyhow that see themselves above the rest of us, including the Pres. All of them seem to have forgot, they work for us. So I’m optimistic in America and the American people, just not the current crop of leaders.
Happy Easter and God Bless.

No politics today–thanks be to God. Let’s all have a very happy Easter and remember that we all have a great deal to be thankful for. I am most thankful and grateful for having the opportunity to be a mother, grandmother, and a mother-in-law. Thank you Grandma Annette–I surely love and appreciate you. Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t honor my wonderful husband who has been so supportive and patient for almost 27 years. We are planning to drive up to the Colfax area and celebrate with my five generations of nieces and nephews. I am the matriarch and Don is the patriarch, so the kids always have two good seats for us in the shade, and they wait on us, too!! Every year there is a new crop of cute little ones. However, the forecast is for rain. So we may not be able to go–hope some good restaurants will be open–like the Sturgeon. Please excuse the typing teacher for the errors because I have a difficult time keeping my fingers on the home keys. Love to all of you, Grandma Optimist!!
