Hope everyone had a good Easter and didn't eat too many eggs or too much chocolate. I had my first bite of chocolate candy in six weeks and it was heavenly. Mmmm!

Dick, Kyle and I went to Granada to celebrate Easter with my sister, Jerene DeBono, and husband, Ian, and their son, Chad; my mom, Mary Huddleston; my two brothers, Mike and Larry; my niece, Gina Dechant and family; and Nancy Sutphin. We had a cook-out and everything was delicious.

Mike, Larry and Jerene and I will be traveling to Emporia, Kansas Monday to attend a cousin’s funeral Tuesday morning.

Our condolences to the family of Lee Evans, who passed away over the weekend. Lee and June and their children lived in the Towner and Cheyenne Wells area for many years.
