I love my life. So this is just going to be a happy type blog. =) No bitching today. Well, maybe just a little. But first, great stuff. I have dear friends who are moving from Michigan to Salem Mass. I was their halfway point, and they came and stayed with me last night, before hitting the road this morning. It was wonderful. We talked and ate and laughed, and I got to meet the parents, and it was wonderful. And now I have a standing invitation for free lodging in Salem, next time I visit there. And I LOVE visiting there. =) So that was just a blessing. And they loved my house, and reminded me how much I love it too.
Today I get to hang out with grandkids. Ella (9) and Tanner (6) have a half day of school today, and the babysitter pooped out and mom and dad both are at work, so I'm picking them up at 11:30 and bringing them home for the day. That's going to be a blast.
Something not so good happened too. My firstborn cracked up her car this morning. She phoned in, said she was okay and the car was being towed, and she had a ride to work, but might need a ride home. If she does, I'm going to take the kids with me to go pick her up later this afternoon. She sounded real shaken, poor thing. I know how upsetting accidents are. It really rattles you. I hope she's really okay.
But back to good stuff. It's supposed to hit 60 degrees here today. The sun is shining, and it's already 40. The birds outside are signing their brains out, and it's such a happy sound it just makes me smile. So I'm in a very very good mood today and counting all my blessings.
It's a good practice.
Hugs,
Maggie

Maggie,
Thanks for the reminder!! The sun is coming out through the clouds here today and I'm thankful that it always does! And my little Bubby took his first step today!!!!

Good day here in Memphis, too. Up to the mid 70's, the flowers are blooming, the grass greening, the trees budding. There's always a lift in my steps during these days. Good time to be alive.
I knew it was going to be a good day when I woke up to sunlight streaming through the bedroom shades. I had some errands to run this morning--and wished I'd already switched from the car's hardtop to its ragtop, which I do every summer, so I could drive around with the top down.
Plus, it looks like we overpaid taxes last year and may even get a refund this year. Now, that one is hard to believe!!!

I found a huge purple crocus in my yard, next to the snowbank. I was thrilled. And the geese dotting the sky and honking their way through town . . . I just love it when all the signs of spring appear, even when we've had a short winter.
