That DD won't walk through puddles, and now that it is melting a bit, there is lots of water and ice around. Needless to say, I have had to clean up a couple of messes this week - not a job I especially care for LoL. In the next wee bit, it will start raining so I can just imagine what the next walk will be like! I have tried using my big golf umbrella to cover us both, but he looks at it like it's from outer space and continues to walk wherever that embrella ain't!
I am happy though to see some warm weather. It has been a long winter for us with far too much snow, after a summer that was far too rainy... for the last few years this has been our cycle. Hopefully this year will be a bit dryer - actually a lot drier would be better (less mosquitoes)! The people I feel for are all those that have to move this month. March has to be the sloppiest month of the year. I may be joining the ranks of those moving as I have started scoping out Condos. On the rental market we have a 0.08% vacancy rate and with the first baby boomers turning 65 this year, there is a shortage of both rental and purchase units. I have found a couple that I like, one is right next to my church and has a very nice enclosed balcony, but only has one big bedroom, the other one is about half-way from where I live now to where two of my children live. It is really nice and it is with in a stones throw of the golfer at work. Maybe he would come for lunch sometime - hey a mother can dream can't she. What is with the boys in our families, it is like pulling teeth to get them to come over, however, our daughters gladly come any old time.
My sister, her husband, one of her daughters and one of her granddaughters is coming for Easter. I had bought Glenn tickets for Christmas, to see Wingfield. For those of you who have no clue who he is, well, he is an actor that puts on plays and plays all the characters. They have made a TV series out of his plays and this is his new play. My sister has never seen him live and Glenn offered his ticket to her, which she was very happy to accept. So we will go to the play, have Easter dinner here (along with my kids, and possibly Glenn's sister and her family, and generally have a good visit. Of course her granddaughter C. will go stay with Her Who Must Be Obeyed. They get along famously and it sure would be nice if C. could stay a bit longer.
On the stitiching side of things, I am so slow. Some days are good days and other days the grief is overwhelming. But I did finish the top of a blue quilt using my "leftovers" and I am hoping I will have it quilted and bound by the time Friday rolls around and it is time for our UFO update over at Sue's blog
