Here in Serena Twp, it has been rainy and dreary alternating with rainy and dreary. Within the past week, we have had about 4 gorgeous almost perfect days, but rain is predicted today. Not a wheel has been turned in the field to my knowledge as of this minute. TGF has been surprisingly tolerant of Mother Natures most recent practical joke, but I know he is aching to get the corn in the ground. I found 2 morels in the BACK YARD! and TGF claims he found about a dozen, but I have yet to see proof of such.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending Mothers weekend at UIllinois. I can honestly say that I am not old enough to be "Mrs. Marshall". It made me extremely uncomfortable, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. Jack is preparing to take finals to complete his 1st year of college and as far as I know, he will be invited back next year both to the University and to his frat (IlliDell). I pick him up on May 14th and he reports to his summer internship on Monday, May 18th. He will be working for Hartung Brothers, Inc.
training in Madison, working in Bowling Green, OH, Seattle and perhaps Sturgis. He is allegedly monitoring pickle tanks, but he isn't really sure what he'll be doing and income is income. It will be a long summer for him, but hopefully we'll get out to see him so that we don't forget what he looks like.
That's all the news that is fit to print. We are all relatively happy and healthy and hope y'all have a great spring.

Do I feel old!!! But what great memories you make me think of! U of I freshman, MKM, invited her mother Lorene and Liza Hoxsey, mother of Doug and distant cousin and close friend to C-U for Mother's Day weekend (Circa 1960). My mother stayed in the dorm with me, and I don't remember where Liza stayed, but I do remember we took them to the Wigwam....a really crummy bar on campus. They loved it! Thought they were really cool! What fun! I'm glad to hear you are called Mrs. Marshall. Good manners are never out of place!
Keep those blogs coming!!!
