<p>a) my brother was discharged and recovering at home now</p>
<p>b) my sister and I picked him up, it was a long scenic ride on a beautiful day and we </p>
<pre><code> saw lots of hawks
c) we had breakfast at restaurant, helping the economy
d) we enjoyed stopping to look for rocks on the way home, where the glacier
dropped them

<p>I am enjoying the extended daylight after dinner.</p>
<p>I’m in the best physical shape I’ve ever been in – even though I’m the oldest I’ve ever been!!</p>
<p>Son seem to be doing well after going back to college and handling his studies and life much better. That make me very happy and relieved. </p>
<p>Both kids seem to be growing well into adulthood.</p>
<p>DH and I are enjoying time away from home, working, and a place to stay is provided, so it cost us nothing more than the gas. It is 70F here and snowing at home.</p>
<p>We will have to cut our time here short to go home because all the kids chose to come home for spring break. I have no idea how many more spring breaks there will be with the parents since two will be out of UG and one a senior next year. The clock is ticking as the kids grow up and I am grateful they are not too cool to just come home and be with us</p>
<p>Happy Thing- My daughter just called from India- to ask how the dog was ( she was taken to the emergency vet last weekend) D wanted to tell me that she was walking past a shop and they were blaring “Hard Sun” from * Into the Wild* & that she has met more than a few people who like Pearl Jam. 
So she is thinking of me. :)</p>
<p>Got a text from my D saying she loves me, and after talking to friends about their families, wants to thank me for ours!</p>
<p>don’t you love it 
there is nothing like being away to make you appreciate what you have.</p>
<p>Happy thing: S2 is spending part of his spring break visiting S1 in his new city. Just to hang out and spend time together. I’m glad my children like each other.</p>
<p>Happy thing: I found an itsy bitsy hummingbird nest right outside my back window. And in the little nest is a ruby throated green capped mommy.</p>
<p>Oh, keep us updated!</p>
<p>happy thing (s): my d told me she was glad she had me. my s facebooked my d to tell her his professor spoke very highly of her chosen college. this made her day. I got to see and laugh with old friends while on a business trip earlier this week.</p>
