We want to get in information about the family dinner in plenty of time for everyone who wants to come. Margaret, Norm, Rose, Joe, Pete, Donald and I are assured attendees, and we're hoping there will be many others.

The dinner will be in a private dining room at B.C.'S KITCHEN, 11 MEADOWS CIRCLE DRIVE, LAKE ST. LOUIS, at 6:30 pm ON FRIDAY, APRIL 29. Please let Margaret, Rose, or me know if you plan to attend. We have to give the restaurant two days notice of our count.

Even though it was cold and rainy at the lake, it was a good weekend. The guys got most of their project finished - The project being rebuilding the ramp to the swim dock. Doug did catch a bunch of crappie - in fact a whole bag full. He didn't take a lot of time to fish so the fish were really biting. I went to the dentist yesterday who is also a fisherman. I think he was fishing on the Gasconade this weekend but agreed that they were really biting but not just on the lake.

Pete called Saturday with his check up call. We're all excited about his visit. He had already talked to Joe and Donald before he called me. Norm is from North Carolina and I've called him a couple times but no answer - just to make sure his family is safe. He may be working the yard. It's a beautiful day here.
