After a December and January with record snow falls and low temps I am ready for Spring to be here.
December brought the school Holiday programs. They all did a wonderful job.
But the snow brought snowmen , sledding and snowball fights with my grandsons. Nothing better to brighten up a dreary winter day.

School Days...School Days
The first day of school is fast aproaching or is already here for most children between the age of 4 and 18.
New pencils, paper and a bookbag that is supposed to last til the end of the year. All most children know is they get new things and They get to meet a new teacher and new classmates.
I remember when I was starting 1st grade in a new town, how scary it was for a little 5 year old. I was in a school with big kids(K-8th grade). I had never been around so many big people in my life. I spent the next 6 years in that school and I fondly remember the teachers and the All grade Christmas programs we had every year.
In 7th grade I again moved to a new town and went to Jr. High. I had never heard of that kind of school and all the new people and things to learn.
I stayed in the same town thru the 12th grade and the people that I started 7th grade with I finished with at graduation.
I just hope that children now cherish the time thay have in school and learn all that they can. That really is the stepping stone for the rest of their lives

Sunny Sunday
I think this is the first Sunday we have had without rain in a month. Things are sure getting green and the flowers are starting to bloom.
Seven more days until Mother's day. Celebrating Mother's Day doesn't have to be an expensive holiday. All Mom's really want is to spend time with their families and know they are appreciated and Loved.
Have Mom over for lunch, help plant and weed her flower bed, or just spend time with her. You'll make her day.

Happy May Day!
I remember when I was young we would make May baskets and leave them on the door of friends. We would ring the doorbell and run and watch when they opened the door and found our gift.
DO we still do that?
Has our much remembered traditions gone by the wayside?
May is the month we celebrate our Mother's, a day just for them. Children make pots out of the milk cartons that they have drank, to put a plant in so Mom can plant it in her flower garden. They draw flowers and suns on construction paper and print "I Love You" and their name so mom will know how much they love them and who it is from.
Mom will put the card in a place of honor on the fridge so she can look at it every day. After the right period of time she puts the year on the card and puts it in a safe place to be brought back out when the child is older and Mom is wondering where her little child is gone.
May is also Memorial Day when we honor our service men and women For their courage and dedication to keep us all safe. We hang our flags and salute when the Veterans march by during the parade.
Let's not just honor these on these days , but everyday.

Spring has sprung?
Spring came 2 weeks ago. You couldn't tell it here. Last sunday we had snow. This morning we had 20 degrees.
Easter is just a few days away. A time for family, good food and lots of Easter eggs.
I remember the days of ruffled dresses, fancy hats and patten leather shoes. I don't know where those days have gone.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

A windy March day.
After 4+ inches of rain and 60* weather we now have 40 mph winds and 15*. What change 24 hours can make.
Today will be a baking day. Oatmeal Scotchies and Carrot cake with Cream cheese frosting. Yummy!!
I have also started one of the many baby afghans I plan to make for the many babies due this summer. I think is a year for girls.

Yeah March is here
At least this time we weren't the ones to have all the snow. Some in our family in TN had 7 to 9 inches, and those in MO had 5 inches.
We are redoing our bathroom and so far 2 of the cabinets are finished. We are using the existing counter top. Hopefully soon we can start the demo on the old ones. Then on to the rest. Very exciting time.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!
