Enjoying a beautiful Sunny afternoon, hopefully all the rain is out of our area for a while at least, I’m getting excited now for the warmer day’s ahead. Easter is almost here; spring has arrived so warmer days can’t be too far behind. Though I would add a very different kind of a Ham glaze for you this week. I have not tried this one, but a friend has and liked it.

Each wall of each story of the prefabricated structure had been built earlier and they were raised by the crane at left and secured by a crew of workmen.
In June 2000, my sisters and I took part in a “Sibling Study” in Houston. My dad had Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and we were all being tested to see if we did. My niece, Sydney, was just a baby and we were taking turns holding her in the waiting room while the other two sisters were getting their blood drawn.
