Bailey graduated today from ASU with his master's degree in architecture. We are so proud. He has worked so hard and deserves the opportunities that have come and are yet to come his way. The desert flowers are in bloom but we have yet to make the desert tour.

Alesa had her last PT on the 30th but she will continue the exercises and much more as we go to the gym. Her doctor has said that she is way ahead of schedule but that it will still take a year to fully recover.

It was time for a new cooktop. The old one worked OK, but it was small, old, small pots could tip due to the large openings in the grate and the large burner got persnickety at times and needed some help to light.

We just had an outstanding Easter. Jeff and family (Dani, Bailey, Nicki and Bridget) came over around 1 and joined Alesa, Mike and me for a great Easter Sunday. Jeff brought over the lamb Alesa had given him to smoke and that joined the ham and many other dishes for a great Easter meal.
