Whoa! I almost missed March. Which is just an indicator of how things have been around here lately. But enough of that, here are the headlines.
The same day we learned about my grandmother (see bel0w), Tiffy and I were called aunt and uncle again. Talk about a whirlwind of a time and us caught in the middle somehow. Charlie (Sam’s Uncle Sucky) and Marlena were blessed with a new addition to their family and to everyones’ surprise the arrival was about 8 weeks premature. This of course explains the tiny features on this little sweetheart (she was only about 3.5 lbs at birth). Her decision to enter the world so early resulted in a 3 week stay at the NICU in Huntington. We travelled back and forth the two weekends of her stay to visit. I am glad to report that she and mother are fine. She put on the necessary few pounds she needed to come home.
Before you could blink, it was Easter Time again and this year was a bunny basket for Sam. With the basket out of the way, it was time for Sir Hugh to survey the haul. He found the basket and the peripherals pleasing.
Not a bad view we have here at Rancho Duttonero. Uncle Sucky…this picture is for you! Warm weather, birds chirping (and crapping on everything thanks to the bird sanctuary a mile down the road), and the deer running around let us know that it is almost spring time. And so do the ground moles….#$%&! It is ok! I found this new thing that you drive into the ground that emits this sound that supposedly drives them away…I bought 4. The price you pay for having a yard.
and one sad final note…
