March Maddess--Ha Ha

Dear Friends and Family,

We are getting ready to get out of dodge soon...this friday to be exact and have lots to do before then. Finish TJ's quilt, get the snow tires off, find out who will take care of Copper and pack for the trip....and maybe clean the house if I have time before we leave.

Mack seems to think that we will be home early in the week...but I have other ideas about being up there til at least tuesday and coming home Wednesday. We will see. It will be something that he will push for to leave earlier than I want.

We went to a St. Patrick's day party last night and enjoyed lots of food and people there--at the Conners home. They had about 50 people there and we all brought something. Was good to get out and enjoy the time with good friends.

I took a Celery Root salad-learned it from a customer---you boil celery root for about 45 minutes and then skin it and cut it up in bit size squares...and then you cut up 5 apples , half a onion, alittle parsley and oil and vinegar. It is made in Europe he said so thought I would give it a try... I did like it and it is low fat eating it. try it you might like it..

I got a chance to talk to Nancey heard what her and John and amy have been up to. Then went to a tennis championship this last weekend for that is what John wanted for his birthday celebration this year. She said it was fun and they took alot of pictures there for him. She is doing fine and had to hear about her Birthday also. Just hadn't gotten time to call her for the last month or so.

Have been working alot and that is about it...not much else to report here. Weather is fair and alittle rain from time to time...

Hugs and Prayers,

Bette Jo
