NOPE.....not to be too much seen around the Rockies....I am ready for the 70's and sun. We still have snow, sleet, groppel, and cool temps. 30's in the morning and mid 60's. Almost warm enough for NO coat, but not...It usually moves right from late winter to summer here. I have broken out the skirts and capris on a limited basis.
School moves steadily to the end. Just 4 more Mondays, 4 more Tuesdays, 4 more Wednesdays, 3 1/2 more Thursdays, and 3 more Fridays with kiddos. Then one Friday where we close up the rooms and turn in the keys if we don't want to go back and work in the summer. (HUH??) BUT then who is counting........???
I am planning to fly back to Iowa to visit with my parents and friends. Not being able to drive the 14 1/2 hours at one time, the cost of hotel, gas, food....flying was about the same price. Who knows what gas would be by then...my Volvo has a small turbo and gets GREAT gas mileage, but I am all ready paying $3.59 a gallon. In town I average 29-31 mpg. and on the Interstate 35-39. It is just the initial OUCH! at the pump that gets me. LOL! I will be in Iowa May 28 - June 12. Better than July! I always liked June better...a smidgen cooler, less humid.
Emily celebrated her 24th birthday on the 24th!!!!!!!! I remember how upset she was when Molly hit that milestone at 10 on the 10th. She was moanin' and wailin' she would be 'dead' by the time she would get to 24.....and now here it is. She gave her kiddos at school a test and then took the next day off with Giles and they had fun 'playin' hookie'.
Molly has had to drop Crew rowing. It is for the best. Now she is getting creative as to keep physically fit. Besides the regular sit ups, etc. she is running through the beautiful landscape that surrounds the school. Parks and forest, residences and along the New York Sound. She has had the warmer temps. and 'Spring has sprun' there. Cherry trees have blossomed outside her window, grass is getting green and flowers are sneaking up. On Monday 4/28 the Dress Blues for winter will be put away and the Dress Whites will appear again........Ah a true sign of Spring! Oh by the way, Molly is Welding.........YEP one of her classes. They were putting together a diesel engine this week also....WOW.
I get to Grammi sit for Evangeline tonight. Yeyeyeyeyey, playtime! I think I will take a nap to be ready for that....LOL
Reflection: GOD can take what was meant for my destruction and turn it to VICTORY!!
BLESSINGS!!
