A good book

Signs of Spring!

I saw the 1st garage sale sign of the 'season' this morning!

17 days until Cubs opening day!

Snow tomorrow (1st day of spring)

HAPPY SPRING!

An Irish blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Just a HI!

Hi all!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday was BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish I'd walked to work...
Today was rainy and cold - not originally what they'd called for, but oh well - spring MUST be coming.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Looking at the Sky on Fridays

This is the 1st week I've participated in Looking at the Sky on Fridays.

Hop over to Crazy Working Mom to check out the details and others' photos.

I took this last Friday on my way to the school fun fair.

It's been a pretty week here. The snow is melting and they're talking almost 50 by the end of the weekend - COME ON SPRING!!!!

Have a super weekend!

As much as I hate to say it

Winter CAN be beautiful!!!!!!

That being said, I'm VERY ready for spring.

PS: If you want to stop at my other blog -Insane Travelers - I'll have a new post this weekend.

Thank you Vancouver!

Thank you Vancouver and Canada! The Olympics were lots of fun - seemed to be well organized and I hope as much fun for all of you as those of us watching on TV. The Opening Ceremonies rocked! (Even though my son didn't know who Bryan Adams is...OY!)

Thank you NBC for your coverage. Your 'extra' pieces on places in Canada and athletes were wonderful and we really enjoyed them!

At last but not least - thank you athletes, coaches and families of the athletes for sharing your talents with the world. I am sure you will be the inspiration of children everywhere. I know many of you captured the hearts of those in this house.

I hope you all enjoyed those 16 days as much as we did!
