I haven't read many blog posts in at least a week! I don't know if I will ever catch up. I suspect it will be a while before I upload another blog post. The times they are a-changing, into busy times! We spent the Easter holiday in Virginia. We had a lovely time with friends, whom we will see again in July when they are up this way. We enjoyed our 4-night stay in an oceanfront accommodation. The weather was great for most of our stay. Friday was unseasonably cold; Saturday and Sunday was unseasonably warm! We loved both unseasonable type weather because it was better weather than back home!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-89764678892877561752011-04-28T10:23:00.403-05:002011-04-28T10:23:00.403-05:00The devastation is horrible.
