Villagers went on a picnic on our own back patio. Caregivers used the grill from the Crawford’s to cook wieners and hamburgers served with all the trimmings. The cooks made potato salad and a fresh fruit salad. Weather was windy but sun was shining and it was a nice day. Some choose to eat inside the community room. Prior to the eating, potatoes and onions were planted in our garden. Two long rows. It was Ron Schouwenburg who did the plowing. A beautiful job revealing lots of black dirt and, like last year plenty of room. We’ve been making lists about what we’d like planted in our garden but like "the little red hen" we’re not interested in doing the work. We’re looking for volunteers.The VanWyhe girls made faces and attached bright plumes on plastic eggs for each place setting on Easter. Later, it was Martha who made egg salad from the boiled eggs we dyed and had not eaten.I was at dialysis and when I returned I learned George Meyer had been here bringing baby ducks and chickens. He went from apartment to apartment so everyone could see the small fluffy balls, pet them and hold them. How can anything so cute grow up to be a chicken or duck.It was a mini-style show when the Bush grandchildren came dressed ready for the prom. Jessica in a two-piece silver gray gown with sequins on her bare shoulders. Angie had an apricot colored gown and carried a small bouquet with ribbons hanging. Tyler’s escort, Angie Sjaarda, in pale green with lots of straps. The boys in tuxedo’s of course. Think back! What did you wear to prom?We wondered what the big rush to the center of the dining room was all about. Inside the circle of Villagers Signe had company. Friends and former neighbors brought young Isaac Koch for her to meet. Signe was especially pleased for Isaac was her husband’s name.Palma’s sons were here from the Cities. We discovered one of them looked just like Palma with laughing, very expressive eyes. He proudly displayed a picture of Palma’s great-granddaughter.Secretary’s Day found Glenda here for dinner. She was joined by Joan in honor of Hair Stylish Day. Erma returned from spending Easter with her family. We’re watching the Overgaard boys farming east of the Village.I’ll keep you posted.
