45 Degrees and Sunny

Grumpy

I have been avoiding my blog for a while, mostly because everything I have to say is grumpy and surly. Now I think I should just get it out and have it done with. Spring is supposedly tomorrow, but we have yet to see any evidence. Not only is it still 17 degrees outside, but we got another 3 1/2 inches of snow dumped on us yesterday. I have been moody and sulky and refusing to go anywhere without a really good reason for the last few weeks. I need my warmth. I need my sunshine. I need my green grass and birds singing and plants growing. I need to be able to go outside without twelve layers on.

Today the girls are playing with beans on a sheet in the living room, because that is all I can muster. Maybe it will be warmer tomorrow...

Becky and Ben visit

My sister Becky and her husband Ben came out for a short visit before heading even further north to Canada. We had a good time showing them around our little town, including the cheese shop down the street. We hung out in the local coffee shop where the kids explored all of the goodies in the kids corner and I looked at the art work. Becky took new family pictures of us while we toured around Epic. And, of course, we ate a lot of yummy food. We tried a different local restaurant every night and ate some really good food (mmm, Cooper's Tavern with its pretzel buns was my favorite). Thanks for stopping by, Becky and Ben!

Dee Dee and Grandpa visit

My parents came out for a visit at the beginning of February. It just goes to show how far behind I am at life that I am just now posting it. We had a fun, cold, visit and the girls were spoiled with so much attention.
