Hi All,

I am waiting for five people to come to my house so watch a DVD about an artist. I didn't realize how small my tv area is for six. Hopefully, it will still work.

I had a great birthday. At eleven I met 3 friends for a brunch type outing at a pancake house near the University. Played Mah Jongg from 1:30 to almost 5:00. Then Joann and I went out to dinner at a favorite place called The Rabbit. They think of themselves as a French Bistro type place so you don't want to go there if you need to eat and run; however, Joann and I always seem to have things to talk about so the time goes by quickly. I had bridge at my house the day before so came home and ate a piece of yesterday's desert. Rum cake with whipped cream.

I haven't decided about Kristofer's wedding. Patrick will be returning to Iran for two weeks the 16th of May. I was planning to stay with Jayne and the kids for several days. Then June 5th is an Alzheimer's day conference here in Eugene. The main speaker will be Lyman's doctor at Oregon Health Science Center from Portland. Dr. Quinn does clinical appointments but also does much research. He will be speaking on the latest discoveries and advances. I am kind of a semi host to both him and Lori Sweeney the development director of the Neurology departments. I am going to Tacoma on the 25th of March for grandparents day at Thomas's school and so will discuss all of that and work out a schedule.

Marj will be moved to Madison, SD by then and would very much like to see her new place, but that may have to wait. We are having a 'going away' gathering tonight. I made desert this a.m...
English Triffle. Just have the whipped cream to do yet.

I need to put on the coffee and move a couple of chairs.

Sunny days to all of you, plus good healing and health.

xoxox, Judy
