Learning to send E-Mail

Hi Tom and Karen,
Glad to hear both of you are out enjoying golf - and that Jerry is getting
out with you!
Am sure you are glad for the rain - but it's nice to see the sun again! We
have had a very mild winter but last week gathered 6 " of snow.
and this weekend lots of rain, but will be back to sun and mild in a couple
of days.

Have been busy getting my main year end work to the accountant. Should get
the report back this week, then just sign and get it to
the tax dept. Then will consolidate personal tax info and send that into
acct. to do taxes. They are not due until April 30th.
This has required a huge learning curve on my new laptop to create new
worksheets, etc....seems a common problem with most who
get a new computer, and do not work in the field every day. Charlotte is
having the same problem with hers in real estate.een

Yes, I have been receiving all your E-mail messages and have opened the
attachments. Thanks!! I have really enjoyed the pictures.
Hope you get this OK. I haven't done much since I got it. I often don't
think about- as you say. Sent some to Brian that didn't work?
Mark and family left Sat. AM for a short spring break trip - to
Wash.DC -will spend Sun. at the Smithsonian - Mon. will have lunch with
a couple who live there and be shown the high lights of the city ( A retired
CIA agent Mark met on the beach at Myrtle Beach several
years back and whom they connected with each time they went back each
spring) Tues. will be spent visiting the Naval Academy and
Annapolis, and Wed. the drive home.The kids are a great age now for
absorbing a lot of info when they travel, take digital pictures of
everything they see, and show us what's stored in the camera when get home
as they tell us about it.

We had a very relaxing day today in spite of the rain. After church we
stopped by Tom's and had a lovely "Sunday Breakfast", then drove
up to Hamilton to the Power Center Mall, thinking of some indoor time. Our
first stop the Chapters Book Store which we love exploring
with Starbucks attached, and we enjoyed it so much we spent the rest of the
afternoon there. Then we had our 40 min. drive home - put our
frozen pizza in the oven while we watched the news and made a salad - and
poured a glass of wine - then some down time for just TV and
reading. Hope this finds you well and have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
love, Darlene and Jerry
