April is spring and new flowers and it's birthday month in our household.  My birthday is in April and so is that of my daughter and daughter in law.  I've had a good month, lots of books read and my mammogram twenty years post cancer just came back with no issues so that's great.  DH and I are planning a vacation to Siesta Key, Florida soon and that will be fun as it has such a lovely beach and there's so much to do.  Here's what's come through the door lately:
