This is Barb's son in law with her grandson, Ezra... the baby looks a bit startled and I told Barb I hope he is not a seccret baby-republican!

She says, "First nice day in weeks. So, a little trip downtown to see what Voodoo Donuts was all about... Let's see, a blueberry cake, a chocolate peanut, a coconut chocolate, a longhorn cream, an apple fritter and a fresh peach fritter. Please don't tell my doctors!"

 

 

Pat says, "If I got first choice, I'd take the apple fritter!"

Fran says: Some pics from today's outing to Butler's Orchard near Greenbelt, Maryland. My friend David and I worked the strawberry fields. Strawberries everywhere (a sampling ready for you, Mary). In two weeks, the blueberries should be ready. Yum.

Mary says: One of the paddlers took this picture of the birds enjoying spring weather on the Anacostia a few weeks ago.

What I'm Reading

 

 

 

Julian Fellows is the (ahem) fellow who wrote Gosford Park and DowntonAbbey. This takes place in modern times... here's what Amazon says:

Edith Lavery, an English blonde with large eyes and nice manners, is the daughter of a moderately successful accountant and his social-climbing wife. While visiting his parents' stately home as a paying guest, Edith meets Charles, the Earl Broughton, and heir to the Marquess of Uckfield, who runs the family estates in East Sussex and Norfolk. To the gossip columns he is one of the most eligible young aristocrats around.

When he proposes. Edith accepts. But is she really in love with Charles? Or with his title, his position, and all that goes with it?
