Hi, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We celebrated ours on Saturday, and it was also a welcome home party for by great grandson Jayson Stevens, who got to come home for a few days from the Marine Corps. Jayson was recently promoted to Lance Corporal. Way to go Lance Corporal Stevens! We had a nice group of our family here, and we all enjoyed the delicious dinner that my daughter Frances fixed, with the help of Judy Bittle. After dinner, we enjoyed visiting with Jayson and the rest of the folks. I also want to congratulate Jayson's mother Dawn Bryant Turner for winning first place in her age bracket in the St. Patrick's Day Walk on March 20. Also, congratulations to 14-year old Cody Mileur, Dawn's son, and Jayson's brother, for his recent success. He tried out and was accepted as a member of the Carbondale Titans, a traveling basketball team. Nice going Cody! We are proud of Jayson, Dawn, and Cody's accomplishments. My gem... Good, better, best, never let it rest; until your good is better, and your better is best. I found something about teenagers I'd like to pass along. A Teenager is... A person who can't remember to walk the dog but never forgets a phone number. A weight watcher who goes on a diet by giving up candy bars before breakfast. A youngster who receives his/her allowance on Monday, spends it on Tuesday, and borrows from his/her best friend on Wednesday. Someone who can hear a song by Madonna played three blocks away but not his mother calling from the next room. A whiz who can operate the latest computer without a lesson but can't make a bed. A student who will spend 12 minutes studying for her history exam and 12 hours for her driver's license. A youngster who is well informed about anything he doesn't have to study. An enthusiast who has the energy to ride a bike for miles, but us usually too tired to dry the dishes. A connoisseur of two kinds of fine music: Loud and Very Loud. A young woman who loves the cat and tolerates her brother. A person who is always late for dinner but always on time for a rock concert. A romantic who never falls in love more than once a week. A budding beauty who never smiles until her braces come off. A boy who can sleep until noon on any Saturday when he suspects the lawn needs mowing.
