What a great day.    Started off really cold, but it is 42 degrees and sunny and calm now, so I am not going to complain.    Talked to Jeff and he had to get out and clear his driveway.    No white stuff here.

Went to the 8:30AM mass and then to coffee after Mass.   They served King Cake, a traditional pastry served just before lent.   I don't know if they had the Jesus statuette baked in the cake or not.   But I was able to visit with Robbi and Pam, two church friends.

Had a nice long talk with Kathy and Jeff Deeley this evening.   I had been checking my Ancestry and Genealogy information for details on our cousin Clarence (Bun) Deeley who Jeff and I both remember from our childhood.    He was the son of one of our Grandpa Michael J. Deeley's younger brothers.   John also came to Sheboygan Falls and settled and married here.   Bun was their youngest son.   He never married.   He was a hunting companion of our Dad.    I remember stopping there for Church stuff when I was a kid as they would use us kids for delivery persons.   Bun was always nice but didn't quit know what to do with us so he would turn us over to his sister, Katherine, who lived with him.    A lovely memory.   She always gave us cookies and something to drink.  A special memory for a young child who was one of 9 children.   To be special was unique.  Though we were always pampered at home.

I missed rabbit hunting in Wisconsin AGAIN!.    People still miss me and that makes me feel good.   It was always fun to go to the sausage tasting at that local bar also.    Good days.   Maybe I'll go back for that one year. 

So a good Sunday.  I start my immunotherapy on Thursday.   Will keep you informed.    I have a class on Wednesday.   Ash Wednesday but the schedule is working out.
