Easter this year included Jerry's family coming to California for a visit. Brother Bob (Mesa, AZ) arrived on Wednesday, 03.16th for a short stay until Saturday, 03.22nd. Sister Shirley (St Maries, ID) and her husband arrived early afternoon Saturday, 02.22nd and left Wednesday morning, 03.26th. Sister Joni (Coeur'd Alene, ID) flew in late Saturday, 03.22nd and left early evening Wednesday 03.26th. It was a whirl wind visit but, everyone was anxious and wanted to spend time with Jerry. Unfortunately, Jerry continues to be under the weather and still quite fatigued. Jerry felt well enough to get started with brother Bob putting up a new fence to which replaces the fence that blew down last year. They were able to replace the posts and rails and get most of the fence boards are up before brother Bob had to leave. Jerry started getting sick Thursday afternoon, he continued to struggle through working on the fence until sun down. On Friday, Jerry wasn't feeling well enough to continue on the fence until about 3:00pm that afternoon. After brother Bob left, Jerry and brother-in-law, Paul continued putting up fence boards, on Saturday, Jerry still has a few to go. Saturday afternoon and evening Jerry was feeling poorly. Jerry insisted on going, with me, to pick sister Joni up at 9:45pm Saturday night, from the Ontario Airport. During the night, Jerry had a rough Saturday night and Sunday morning. Easter Sunday, Jerry was not able to go to Church with us. We had plans to celebrate Easter with cousin Dana and wife, Deanna (Aunt Betty's son), in Dana Point. Jerry was not well enough to join us, but insisted we all go and have a good time. He said their was nothing we could do for him. Joni and I drove separately, so that we could "eat and run". But, the drinks and hordeovers keep coming and we didn't eat until much later. But, it was a beautiful day overlooking the Pacific ocean and the hospitality was gracious and we all had a wonderful day. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Jerry and Joni worked tilling and planting Jerry's garden. Jerry felt pretty good and was glad to have Joni's help getting his garden in. Jerry and Joni worked so well together... both of them are passionate workers and passionate about their garden. Aunt Betty hosted two evening meals for all of us, which we all enjoyed. Monday night we entertained each other with joke telling and Tuesday night we all played Yahtzee. Even though the visit was very short, Jerry and I were happy to see and enjoy every ones company.

Glad that you were able to have a good visit with Jerry's family. We only wish Jerry had been feeling better. It was good to hear that they were able to help with the fence and garden! I KNOW Jerry enjoys his garden!
Happy Easter!
