Spring?

Not yet. We are finally creeping up to almost normal temperatures (daytime highs about 32) but we have also had snow flurries the last couple of days.

All of us have agreed that this has been a long week. Not entirely sure why, we were busy, but we are busy most weeks. And we started the week with a spectacular Oscar party, if I do say so myself. We had 11 people here and 3 participating remotely. We served parmesan puffs, spinach dip, lil smokies and a hot crab dip. And then for dessert we served a gingerbread lemon curd trifle with blackberry syrup. It was marvelous. We put together swag bags for all the local participants and most of us dressed up in our finery. We also created a red carpet for those arriving to walk on. This has become one of our favorite events of the year.

Speech season is in full swing and Rachel heads to Ely tomorrow. Sections are in four weeks. She continues to tweak her speech which if you haven't heard can be heard on her Facebook page. We'll try and get a new video produced and placed up here on the blog for your viewing pleasure.

Jeff is staying very busy with IBRT writing, producing and planning for summer. He continues to dream of a limited touring schedule in the county during the summer.

Have a wonderful week and give thanks to God for everything big and small in your life.
