Today was Mom's 87th birthday and I made her a cheese souffle for her special dinner. It is her favorite! She came over for dinner and our only regret is that we hadn't gotten someone to come over and be a fourth in bridge.
Happy 87th Birthday

3D
We had such a good time going to Monsters vs. Aliens. The new 3D is so impressive and there were times when I jumped because it felt like I was going to be touched! Good story too.
Spring Procrastination
"I meant to do my work today ~ But a brown bird sang in the apple tree, And a butterfly flitted across the field, And all the leaves were calling me." Richard Le Gallienne
Somehow this quote says it all. There is so much to do around the house to get ready for weekend company and all I want to do is go outside. We are forecast for rain today so perhaps that will inspire me to get some things done. This is National Poetry Week. What is your favorite "spring" poem?
Midnight & Shadow
Today I picked up my Kansas City granddaughters for a long weekend. Maebry turned 9 last week and we had planned to drive down to celebrate and then the snow came! Well, a neat plastic cage awaited her when we got home and then we went to the pet store to pick out 2 gerbils! She declared it was the best present ever! She picked out two black gerbils and I thought she chose such great names. It's hard to be a little sister at 5 1/2. I am going to have to think of a great idea for Linden's 6th birthday in August. We're looking forward to a great weekend and if the gerbils survive all the loving, it should be a winner of a present. Of course, I ran it by Mommy and Daddy first.
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
Just as the fruit trees bud, the snow comes. Typical Kansas Spring. Hope some of them survive. It was fun tho, neighbors came over for coffee, fires, under blankets, power off for a while. Now it is in the 60's . As I said, typical Kansas Spring!
Far, Far Away
Tonight I talked to my grandson, Jack, who lives in Portland, OR. He kept saying "Come over, come over?" I wanted to reach out and give him a hug, but the miles are to great. We are lucky. We can afford to make trips every so often. I know lots of grandparents don't have that ability. I try not to be too jealous of my friends who see their grandchildren all the time. I did get to see my granddaughters in KC, KS this weekend which was great. Love being a Nana!
A Patch of Sunshine
Today was overcast and dreary. I had to go to our Payee Program early and was glad to get home around noon. As soon as the dogs were out and in, Muffet went to the stairs and found the one patch of sunshine in the day. I have the winter blahs and can't wait for warm weather. It looks like it will be awhile. In the meantime, I may have to lie down on the stairs!
Oh Mr. Moon
Driving home tonight from a meeting. The moon was incredible. Just a sliver, but the rest showed up in shadow or illumination. I'm not sure which. Then later was able to see the comet Lulin. We are going out to the land tomorrow night to get away from the light pollution and should see it even better. It should show up greener tomorrow night. Charlie is the astronomer, he keeps me up to date
Little Girls With Curls
I just returned from a week with my granddaughter in Portland. How I hated to leave. Best moments - warm snuggles in bed in the morning, telling fairy tales on the drawing board, the look of wonder in little eyes, etc., etc., etc.! Worst moments - that sinking feeling as they run and sprawl head first onto the sidewalk, the big tears as they miss their Mama, waving goodby.
