Ross and Owen, April 2011

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed. -- Mark Twain

bunnybread110401We went on a field trip to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia during Spring Break

Granny, Pop-Pop and Grandpap Olaf came to visit on Easter Sunday.  Granny brought a loaf of Bunny Bread, a cake shaped like an Easter Egg, and Easter Baskets filled with way too much candy (according to Mom, not us!).

On a sad note, our cat Pita (9 April 1993 – 25 April 2011) passed away this month. 

See you next month...

The big event this month is Owen’s Birthday.  He will be 11 years old on February 25th.

Phil did not see his shadow, so an early Spring may be on the way.  His prediction is looking good so far.  Last February we had two back-to-back snowstorms that left a combined 42 inches on the ground.  This February we’ve already had two days with temperatures over 70 °F (21 °C).

 

Iron City Beer

Our favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, were in the Super Bowl again this year.  It was a good game, but they lost to the Green Bay Packers.  Can’t complain too much though.  The Steeler’s Super Bowl record over the years is 6 wins, 2 losses.

suburban renewal

Pop-Pop and Granny’s neighborhood is once more undergoing some “Suburban Renewal.”  This house is coming down to make place for another McMansion like the one next door to them.

We took a one day trip to Ski Liberty this month.  And we celebrated Granny 's Birthday at her house.  We all sang Happy Birthday and had Ice Cream Cake.

Earlier this month, we attended the opening of the Cooley Gallery in Leesburg's Historic Downtown

ross101201We all went to Ross’s recital this month.  He’s becoming a real Guitar Man

We had a semi-White Christmas this year.  There were a few flurries on Christmas Eve and it was cold enough to leave a light dusting on the ground.  Quite a difference from last year.  We spent Christmas day at Granny’s house.  Pop-Pop made a short video with Granny’s new VideoCam.  Here it is for your viewing pleasure.  Make sure you watch the whole thing!
