After one nice day, temperatures in the 50's, old man winter is back with a vengeance. I'm so thankful for our warm, cozy house and the wood stove that Herb keeps burning all winter. We are blessed in so many ways.
Major blessing is: Kids coming home for a few days to turn our world upside down, inside out, every which way. We all adjust to being in one house, one room for a few days. Noise, laughter, loud voices, whispers, maybe tears, excited dogs, hope it doesn't thunder. There will be games, puzzles, cooking, eating, endless talk, teasing, computering, sharing stories, soroptomists, rides with Rusty, baby goats, lambs, more laughter. Then all too soon spring break will be over for another year and Herb and I will return to our quiet world, just us two, with memories to last a lifetime. Enough "maudlin", on with the day.
Busy morning, Herb has a dental appointment, then errands in Enterprise. I am stuffing envelopes for a fishtrap mailing, then shopping for groceries to get us through the next week, at least. Fixing pork chops for our dinner, maybe do some cleaning and must call to see what the holdup is, on fixing our roof.
It was fun yesterday, back with my friends at write group, seemed like the talk centered around St Patricks Day. Several of our members are Irish, and grew up in NYC, so it was interesting to hear about the huge parades they attended as kids and how everyone became Irish for the day. To me it was always just a day, that if you didn't wear green you got pinched!! OWAV:)
