This is a photo of my Grandmother Eagle during the 40s. I am going through my photo albums looking for photos of my unofficial "grandmother " Edith in England. She passed away quietly Friday. One of our main purposes to get over there was to see her. Big culture difference.....they aren't even deciding what to do about "black tie funeral" until tomorrow....us Southerners would have eaten a ton of fried chicken by now!

We are still heading to London on Mar 28th....it's coming up quickly. Everyone there says it is a good thing we are visiting.....I still have yet to purchase the train tickets....must get moving on that!

I can't say enough about John's hearing aids! It is absolutely a miracle! At church today he was so happy to hear all the conversations and comments!

Well....the story just keeps getting more interesting. Alicia will have her MRI on the 17th. Ben gets married on April 9th....big wedding. He just got orders (Coast Guard) to report for 12 week school in Yorktown on APRIL 10th!!! He is required to stay in the barracks.....

We are having a real problem with folks dropping off pets that they can no longer care for in our neighborhood. Two of the most beautiful labs have been roaming our street for a week now. Precious dogs. Someone tied a little puppy to a post down the street with a note and a bag of food. The note read "please find a home for REX. We can no longer afford to keep him". Thank goodness we have an angel on our street whose calling is to find homes for abandoned animals. And it truly is a calling.

It looks like the month of March is coming in like a LION. Abandoned dogs, boob cancer, death in England, Al's roomate from h%## moving, Ben's wedding fiasco, Wanda's heart cath, .......

But, I must remember the positive.....trip soon to England to see people I love, Al will now have a peaceful home, they found Wanda's blockage early, John's new car & hearing aids, beautiful workcamp people, ....these are the things that I must ponder!
