Today is Mark's birthday - he was born on April Fool's Day 23 years ago. What a fun day for a birthday! We are on opposite sides of the country today, but close in thought. If you are reading this - Happy Birthday!!
Sarah did great in the marathon - she finished in 3 hours 36 minutes - fast enough to qualify for the Boston run - if she goes, we'll go, too.
Strange noises here..... every morning we wake up to 'helicopter' noise. It really sounds like a helicopter has landed next to our house and doesn't shut down. We came to find out that the orchards here run huge fans to try and stave off the frost from damaging the buds on the apple trees. It still freezes most nights, but since the buds are out they need to take precautions. Another thing they do is spray the trees with water in the evening so it encases the trees with ice. That way they don't drop below 32 degrees and it does seem to protect the buds from getting too cold.
That's about it for now.... Easter is just a few days away. Happy Easter to all!!

Happy birthday, Mark! Seems like yesterday, and then again so long ago.
Congrats to Sarah! How did Cynthia do?
Love, Alice & Jerry
Cynthia did great, too. She finished just a minute+ behind Sarah.
I miss Mark - it's the first birthday we haven't celebrated with him.
