Normally I would not be reporting on the March birthdays this soon, especially with so many that fall late in March, but as you know I will be helping with the triplets soon so I decided I'd better so this now before I don't get to it. Please don't get concerned that if your block is on the way, you are late. I am not saying that. In fact, I think all that have not been received are on their way. For the birthday girls, just remember to post to your thread when all of your blocks have been received and maybe let Kristene know as well so she will be able to determine that March is complete. Piece of Cake March 24 - Marsha (magothyrivergirl) At last count, Marsha had received 9. March 29 - Jeanne (sandlapper_rose) Jeanne has received from 11 people and is still awaiting her block from Cindy. Make a Wish March 18 - Eileen (equilter) - Complete March 24 - Paula (paulah_gardener) From the postings, I believe Paula is still awaiting a block from Cathleen. Ribbons & Bows March 1 - Fay (faytay) Complete March 3 - Sally (salijo) Complete March 27 - Mary (tuppermom) From the postings, I believe Mary is still awaiting blocks from Cindy and Robbi. Thanks all for being so great in trying to keep the schedule. You have made things easy for me and Kristene. I'm sorry I won't be able to wrap up the count for the month of March, but Kristene will be here to assist you. My husband will be here at our home so no problem with any mail still headed my way.

We are now into May so I am posting to this so it can drop farther down on the list of topics.

I hope everyone is enjoying these first few days of Spring. It has turned downright hot here and not much rain so I think our summer will be downright miserable, but we will see. Right now the flowers are all in bloom, but beware of the pollen. It turns everything yellow-green at this time of the year --- which is why we like to have rain, especially during the pollen season. Anyway, Kristene will be overseeing things for April so you will see her posting most of the messages soon. Things have been so busy here. This is normally a busy time of the year and my older daughter had triplets a few weeks ago and my younger daughter just defended her thesis for her Ph.D. yesterday. Yes, that is Andrea in the Piece of Cake Birthday Block group!!! Congratulations to Dr. Andrea! Jeanne

I am adding to this now so that it can begin to drop down on the list. The last of the May birthdays was today. Jeanne
