preempted this for the things are coming up happy easter to all those that are out there in the christian tradition when the season of easter not that easter is not just one day like christmas is just not like one day but as an entire season and so we're in that season up until the first of june so you could essentially say happy easter and from now to june and you would be correct in saying that because there's a lot of joy in the growth of spring that goes along with that if you've been on the montoya trail for this this spring time beautiful place just started walking that myself and lots of opportunities there you know there's one place that i passed that would be a perfect place for backyard barbecue or back porch barbecue i pass that every time i walk and think man a man if i was a restaurant person i would be after that property and put in a barbecue place right there but anyway that's all lots of things going on down in the village of venetia baseball season is here and so
