April has been a month of ups and downs – as you will read. We’ve enjoyed being in Atlanta during a beautiful spring. We’ve enjoyed the blooming dogwoods & azaleas. We even went to the Piedmont Park Dogwood Arts Festival. This brought back lots of old memories of many past visits to the festival. We had the opportunity to meet with several of our friends we had when we lived in Atlanta. It was great getting caught up with some former friends. We also had the opportunity to visit with Linda’s sisters. We went to Texas, where we were met by Brenda, Linda’s sister from Kansas City. Brenda traveled with us to visit Linda’s 2 other sister, Martha & Judy. We also had an extra treat. Our grandson was visiting his other grandmother in Ft. Worth, TX. That was only about a 10 minute detour from where we were. We went by to visit Austin and got some good grandson kisses! We celebrated Easter Sunday in our home church of Cannon UMC. It has been several years since we were actually sitting in our own home church for Easter Sunday. The end of April was the end of a chapter in our lives. Ed’s father, Jim Baker passed away on April 29, 2009. Ed was with his Dad at his home in Fernandina Beach, FL; while Linda was in Atlanta serving on jury duty.
