The Lord has answered our prayers this week on two issues. The first one is Malcolm's biopsy came back and the results are benign meaning there is no cancer. And the second one is Darylene got a scholarship for honors college. We are very excited and proud of her. It has been all she has talked about since junior high.

Okay...it has been awhile since the last blog.Just a little note to all that the senior prom has finally come and gone.We got some good pics of Darylene and Bradley.All went well and they had a wonderful time on saturday evening.They went to Fresno first for dinner before the prom.Now we just have grad to through,then voila!!!That will just leave Travis.....Of course darylene will be going to junior college for a couple of years,then hopefully on to Fresno State.She wants very much to be an audiologist/patholigist.

I am glad the kids have been out of school this week for spring break. I am looking forward to Easter Sunday. Hopefully the weather will be nice and sunny. Malcolm and I are going to look around for some flowers to plant. And hopefully we will be able to find a water fountain that I have always wanted. This year we decided not to cook ham for easter dinner this is a first for us. We decided to have something different this year due to Malcolm's sodium reduced diet. Malcolm has been losing wt. I would say about an average of 40 lbs. so far. Malcolm and I were walking before all this bad weather came. Hopefully soon we will have nicer weather and can start walking again. I must walk more than 10 miles a night at work but it is not good enough because it is not a constant steady pace walk to burn calories. Darylene yesterday got her learners permit to drive... And now the fun part begins. It is hard to believe she is this old already.

Denise

Hello again.........It has been almost three weeks since our last blog.Not a whole lot going on at the moment.I have lost about 30 pounds now.Many old clothes are stating to fit again and others are getting kind of baggy.I still have a long way to go though.My blood sugar is finally coming under control and my blood pressure is great.of course a low sodium,sugar free,fat free low calorie diet could be the reason.
Denise has been very busy at her job and it is starting to wear on her.After Darylene's graduation this summer,we are going to take off for awhile.We are going to just get in the car and go.We may search for new places to move.Who knows?We were thinking it may be nice to move north,perhaps Oregon,Idaho or Washington.
Darylene as I have said is getting near the end of her schooling.(not including college of course).Her dad and his new wife are coming out from Delaware for grad.His family has all left Hanford so Denise and I have offered a bedroom in our home for them to stay in for the week.I know for some this may seem odd but really it isn't a big problem for us.Besides he hasn't seen the kids in a long time.It is the least we could do.
I was invited over to the pastors house last week to watch my canucks play his family's favourite team"the oilers".That night my team barely won in a shootout.I really had a great time and thank them profusely for allowing me this enjoyment.I am not sure the canucks will make it to the playoffs however.They are very inconsistent this year.
