Tuesday

I worked on putting away pictures of the family today.  Dave's been reading about how to stage a home to sell it and putting away pictures and knick-knacks is one of them.  Cleaning out closets and storing things outside the home is another.  I've got a busy month ahead of me.  I found out that Bridge View is having a book sale in May so I'm taking all my quilting and craft magazines/books to them.  I'm getting them sorted into piles by years so they can sell a bundle of magazines instead of each one separately.  First, however, you have to take the labels off of them - that's another fun job!

This afternoon I gave blood for the first time for 6 months!  When he stuck me, it hurt so I know I'm going to have a bruise tomorrow.

Tonight Dave is at a church meeting.  He should be home soon.

Ickier Day

Wow!  I just finished watching Dancing with the Stars.  This has got to be the best collection of stars and dancers ever.  I was really surprised to see Cody go home, but I didn't like him much.

Today was sure an icky day.  It rained this morning and was only about 37 when I went to Bible Reading Time.  I had to wear long pants even!  Then it started snowing!  The snow was coming down parallel to the ground with a strong north wind.  Very cold.  Tonight it's supposed to drop to 25 - not a fun time to be in Iowa!!

No so pretty!

Today is Dave's birthday and I made sure the church congregation sang to him.

It's kind of an icky day today...it's only 61 degrees and rainy.  It's rained most of the day.  The grass is sure getting greener, though.  I'm glad because it was just beginning to get green when we arrived.  Since it's raining and it's Palm Sunday, my mom always said it would rain for 4 Sundays in a row.  I hope that isn't true, but the moisture is great.  I just don't like the cold temperatures!

Loved church today.  It was so good to be back at 1st!  Love the people and the sermon was fantastic.

84!!!!

I can't believe that this was a "Florida type of day" here in Iowa.  It topped out at 84 degrees - the same as it was in Clearwater!  That's pretty amazing.  Unfortunately it's about to change.  It's only supposed to be in the low 60's tomorrow and I heard the 4-letter word is possible on Monday.  Grrrrr!  I won't be a happy camper if it snows!

Today I went to Fairfield for a 9:00 AM ball game.  Allison's team played 3 games today - they won 2 and lost the last one.  Allison pitched the first game and 1 inning in the last game.  It was so wonderful sitting outside on this beautiful day.  I got plenty of sun and wind, so I'm feeling a little burned tonight.

We're home

We left Paducah about 8:00 this morning and got home at 3:00.  We had two beautiful days to travel and arrived to 75 degrees and sunshine.  In fact, we had the sunroof open much of the day it was so beautiful.  We thank God for an uneventful trip and that all was well here.

After unpacking and getting groceries, Dave went to the Recovery Room and got us tenderloins for supper.  Great welcome home!

Paducah

We got to Paducah at 6:30 tonight...had our free supper and now we're getting ready to go to sleep!  We left Largo at 4:15 so we're pooped.  The grass is green, trees are blooming, and it was 81 degrees when we arrived!  Unfortunately it's not supposed to be that warm on Sunday.  Tomorrow possible rain and Saturday at home possible thunderstorms, but 72 for a high.

It's here

It's time for us to head north in the morning...at 4:00 AM, so I'd better hit the bed!  I'll keep you posted on our progress.  Prayers for safe travel are appreciated.
