FAMILY SURVIVES UNUSUAL EASTER HOLIDAY SEASON

No one is really quite sure how they did it, but the relatives of Aunt Jo, nee Mabry, stunned the world this spring when they braved the holiday season this year. The entire Mabry clan made it through the Easter season without a single one receiving their Christmas cards from Aunt Jo. Some experts speculate that the family was still in shock from having received Jo's Christmas cards ON TIME just four months before.

DONUT GIRL'S SATURDAY

Once upon a time in a bakery far far away, Donut Girl sprinkled dozens of glazed donuts while contemplating the future. She doesn't think she wants all the stress of the manager's job that she'd been offered. Donut Girl opted to keep her current position and think toward college classes instead. Relieved that she'd made a wise decision, Donut Girl relaxed after work with a treasure hunt at the nearby Hallmark store. Coming home a winner again, Donut Girl arrived with prize in hand; a special edition collectors ornament! She smiled, content.

FAMILY COMMUNICATIONS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

Computers and the internet are bringing together people from around the world on a daily basis. Email and online chat enable multi-party discussions to be shared easily and with minimal cost. And the world wide web offers the opportunity for sharing information, publicly and privately.

Ann plan to use her computer experience to create family web pages for the Mabry clan. Plans include public posting of general family history with an invitation to other Mabry's to compare family trees. The private, family access only, pages will include a mailing list, family tree, family history, reunion schedule, and pictures. Permissions will be obtained prior to posting.
