ELIZABETHAN EASTER!

Mary Patricia....like a shepherdess of old...

has this insatiable desire to bring together all the ...uhhh,
'sheep'(?) of our immed. and extended family whenever she can.



Shepherdess staff in hand!



She couldn't quite get all 70-80-90 of us together this Easter. But Mary Pat did manage to get a few of us together at Elizabeth's for an Easter celebration!

You were all there in spirit....loving spirit!












Lovely ladies! l to r....what am I saying!...you know who they are!



Since I was the only guy there...the girls insisted....against my humble protestations!... that I jump in the last pic! Notice my 'gravitational pull' toward Mary Pat!


One last thought...Elizabeth is trying so hard to return to normal after her cochlear implant of ten days ago. Some days she has a smattering of hearing and equilibrium. Other days, her hearing is totally 'gone'...and those at her side, in order to communicate, must write to her. And her balance 'swims a little'.

Dear Elizabeth! Your healing will happen. You may not hear the proverbial pin drop...but some day soon, you will once again hear all the loving things we have to say to you! That's our fervent prayer for you! So be it!
