Among other endeavors, my sister Mayela, fashions jewelry from trinkets and baubles she finds at flea markets and sells the finished pieces. Jeanine and Maya have been looking forward to doing some of this work with her, and they seem to be in the thick of it. My other sister, Alissa, shared the photo below of her efforts at egg painting and Easter decoration.

My day started on the soccer pitch in our opening match of the spring season. Conditions were less than optimal. It was cold with intermittent rain. Our opponents scored the first goal early in the game. Shortly before the half, a ball rebounded to me inside the box, and I drilled it into the net, 1-1. In the second half, we went on to score two unanswered goals and got our season off to a good start with a 3-1 victory. After our aprés at the Main Street Cafe, I returned home for a two-hour nap and spent the balance of the day doing very little other than relaxing my weary body.
