I ate my weight in chocolate and jelly beans after the long candy drought I’ve endured in Costa Rica, where its just too hot to ingest the volumes of sugar I subject myself to in the U.S. Lauren took a first place award in the Easter bonnet parade on Saturday having transformed a Fedex box and a pie tin into an artistic masterpiece. We all enjoyed Pastor Bruce at the Lutheran Church in the Foothills, and I have to mention that those church ladies know how to put on a spread -- very impressive, and their excellent egg hunt increased our family’s candy haul to near toxic levels. Well done!
