Spring Break

Stephen has been home this week from school. Tomorrow we take two cars and head to St. Paul to spend the weekend with Sarah. Stephen will drive from there back to Morris and Rachel, Jeff and I will return to International Falls.

It has been good to have Stephen home. I was able to take a few hours each day off and enjoy time with him. I was also able to do some special cooking and baking for him.

It is looking like he will be home for the summer. We hadn't counted on having him home again for any extended period of time so this will be a blessing.

It has been a wild week at the library as the computer catalog system housed at the Arrowhead Library System headquarters in Mt. Iron malfunctioned on Wednesday morning. We spent two days with no catalog or ability to check books in and use a remote system to check books out. Supposedly the system will be available tomorrow and my staff will have to deal with uploading the items checked out, checking in all the piles of books returned in the last two days with no way to check them in. I am going to go play in St. Paul with the family.

Rachel is at work tonight, covering the boys' basketball playoff game. At last update they were losing and so this might be her last game for a while. She is now working for the radio station three afternoons a week, recording weathers and community events and a few commercials.

Jeff is trying to stay on schedule and get a podcast up every two weeks. It has been a stretch this year because he is also trying to add in additional promotional activities and take the theater to the next level.

We have been warm this past week which has helped melt lots of snow. We are looking awful brown and muddy at the moment, but we have to go through this stage to get to the green stage. I just hope it doesn't last very long. Last year we had two full months of brown before the green arrived.

Have a wonderful day and count your blessings.
Diane
