David O. Family's Easter
The David O. Family had a fun Easter weekend. Karli
was able to fly in from NYC for 48 hours (thank you
Delta) and Clay drove down from his place in Park
City. Saturday was Prom for Heidi so Karli did her
makeup and David taught her how to pin on the
boutonniere. Grace experienced her first Easter egg
hunt. So that is life in Alpine!

The Villiage Blacksmith: Longfellow
GRANDMA SHARED THIS POEM WITH US AT EASTER DINNER. SOME OF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH IT. UNCLE DAVID OWEN (WE'RE HAVING TO GET SPECIFIC THESE DAYS!) HAS WRITTEN THE STANZA THAT BEGINS: "TOILING, -- REJOICING -- SORROWING..." IN THE FRONT OF HER FAMILY DIRECTORY SO SHE COMES ACROSS IT EVERY TIME SHE OPENS IT UP. IT REMINDS HER OF GRANDPA. I THOUGHT ALL MIGHT ENJOY IT. IT'S TENDER AND INDEED VERY APPLICABLE TO THE WAY GRANDPA LIVED HIS LIFE.

The Village Blacksmith
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
| Under a spreading chestnut-tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. His hair is crisp, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man. Week in, week out, from morn till night, You can hear his bellows blow; You can hear him swing his heavy sledge, With measured beat and slow, Like a sexton ringing the village bell, When the evening sun is low. And children coming home from school Look in at the open door; They love to see the flaming forge, And hear the bellows roar, And catch the burning sparks that fly Like chaff from a threshing-floor. | He goes on Sunday to the church, And sits among his boys; He hears the parson pray and preach, He hears his daughter's voice, Singing in the village choir, And it makes his heart rejoice. It sounds to him like her mother's voice, Singing in Paradise! He needs must think of her once more, How in the grave she lies; And with his hard, rough hand he wipes A tear out of his eyes. Toiling, -- rejoicing -- sorrowing, Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou hast taught! Thus at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought; Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought. |

Thanks to Rich and Jen who sent us a link to their website. If your family has a site (or blog), please send us a link.
