Here's a shout out to all you family reunion planners on the west coast as well as those in the southern states and Canada. Take time to take it all in. Grab your kids and kiss them. Hold your wife and thank her. Call your mother and tell her how much you appreciate her sacrifices. Take the family out to dinner this week and stop to smell the flowers or watch a sweet sunset while playing your favorite tunes. You'll be surprised to know that children remember the little things most when they get older.
A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
It was a beautiful weekend here on the east coast. The sun, simply brilliant. Brenda and I went to a beautiful community garden not far from our home. There were just about as many people there as the tulips. And the rich colorful tulips this year were amazingly breathtaking. For a fun tulip garden show just go to my Pinterest page called Tulip Love. The first six photos uploaded were taken by me at the community garden.

It was a special month of event planning for us. The events succeeded in touching many hearts not to mention our own. First there was the Bible Drama for kids completed just in time for the memorial season. Total viewers 60 so far. Then there was the showing of a fond farewell video we made for a couple we've grown to love. An audience of 42. Lot's of tears and laughter. I think we laughed most at the fact that we were crying. No embarrassment, no regrets, just good memories.
Spring has certainly sprung for family reunion planning and this is the perfect time to catch up on those action items on your 'to do list'. So what's the best way to go about doing that?

Read the instructions and check off tasks completed.
