SPRINGTIME

Hi All
I have been egligent in keeping up with my blog. It is not April and sprinttime is beginning. However there have been storms around and snow in The West. Lynn in Denver had snow and rain at the same time. We have had a little rain we have had a little rain. The last of March we had the most snow that we have had all winter!! At least living as we do I do not have to shovel it. The flowering trees have bloomed and most of them have already lost the blooms. However, the redbuds are now coming out. Spring is welcome--nice to see all of the blooming plants in the stores and Nursery outlets. I may get a pansy plant just to have a bloom in the apartment.
We have had some short visits from family which were greatly appreciated. John and Gail cam dow from Rochester MN for couple of days. Gail got me on Facebook the social communication program. We have set up a Scrabble game and are playing long distance. Gail is ahead in points. My niece Carol is an avid facebooker. We also had a visit with our grand-daughter, Lisa with her husband Mike and two bows Taylor and Zakry. Taylor has his 2 degree black belt in Karate and is active in some other forms of mmartial arts Zack is into 4H and raising Rabbits. I am truly impressed with the school program that Mike and Lisa are in. Not all of the public schools are poor. They are using computers in the class rooms. Lisa has her class blogging and they have contact with a school in Gerany ane exchange blogs on the cultre and school program. Lisa is also connected with teachers in New Zealand.
I have hooked my laptop computer to my TV with is a 23 inch monitor. Also, I am in the process of getting wired with the tele-video program SKYPE. It also can be used just as a text or Instant messaging. At the present I am just at the beginning of the learning curve but will get there. I have not twitted yet! Have any of you!! Twitter appears to be a popular program.
Mary's test for Normotensive hydrocephalous turned out negative. which in a way is too bad as there is help with a shunt for that. We are continuing to continue on. Some days are better than others. We enjoy some of the programs that they have here at Drury Place. Saturday they had a really good program--a lady at the piano and she could really play and including all different genres of music. I need to play more just for fun. Our neighbor here has a Roland piano in his apartment and he enjoys playing it. I put my Technics piano out in the great room for a program some time back and have never brought it back. -- the space has been taken overe with computer stuff!
Hope that this finds all of you healthy and I am sure that you are following the happenings of the government etc. HANG IN THERE!! I will try to be more promt with my postings.
HAF AKA HAPPY DOC
