No Snow.....Yeah!

It passed by us again. What was supposed to be 3-6 inches was just a dusting. I am happy, yet I would have liked to seen the snow. What a pretty landscape it makes. The good thing about snows this time of year is that if it does snow, it doesn't last long. But today is a beautiful, sunny day. The flowers are blooming and it just makes me feel good.

I cannot believe that March is coming to a close. The year will be 1/4 over. Time is going by much too fast. I can't keep up! Last week I wished I was still teaching so I could enjoy spring break. But today I am rejoicing that I don't have to get up in the morning and face a class full of students! Oh, the privilege of retirement! Lois and I went to Branson Thursday. We go at least three times a year--spring break, summer vacation and Christmas. I didn't know until we were on our way that she had gone to Branson on Tuesday with her daughter. I felt kind of bad dragging her down there. But it was a beautiful day, not too hot and not too cold. We went to our usual shops but didn't buy much. It isn't about the shopping anyway--it's the time we get to spend together. We finished the day with a movie. We saw Duplicity with Julia Roberts. It was okay, but we have seen better. It was really hard to follow. As I think about it, and you put all the events together, in order, the plot is a little clearer. It kept going "four years earlier" "2 years earlier" up to "10 days earlier". Confusing to follow! I don't go to the movies very often any more. I have a hard time spending the money for a ticket and then, nothing tastes better than movie popcorn. But I won't even buy that because of the expense. I'll just watch movies at home and do microwave popcorn!

This week will probably drag because I am looking forward to next weekend. We are going to see Valary! Haven't seen her since the middle of February. She is having a dinner party for her co-workers Sunday night. I think we are going to stay for that and come home Monday. We will probably work in her garden Saturday afternoon. I just look forward to spending time with her, whatever we do!
