...I am always excited to see this month arrive...
...Once April unfolds, it seems spring and summer come tumbling at super speed...
...Plus, it's my birthday month...I will admit that this one I am not looking forward to, but
I will try with all my might to enjoy this last year in my 6th decade...

...It was an awesome day spent with the bunny and her 2nd grade class, along w/ her momma,
at The Gathering Place...
...Yes, the day was damp and chilly with dribbles of raindrops, but it didn't keep their spirits
down...the kids ran and screamed, climbed and ziplined until the very end. It was
quite surprising to see that our bunny has lost a lot of fears of heights and movements...
...It was a fun day to spend with her on my birthday...
