Spring Break!

Yes, It's Spring Break for DD.  I think she is enjoying this week off from classes and especially glad to just be able to stay home all day today in this heavy rain we are experiencing.  I know she is tired of walking on campus and being wet all day, so it's nice that she can stay home and relax on this rainy day..........with Jason 2.0 of course, and Magic has made his way into the house as well.

You can see that Jason 2.0 is making good use of a rainy day.  

Happy St. Patrick's Birthday!

We celebrated the Hubs' birthday on Saturday.  He is a St. Pats baby.  DD was home for 4 days as Missouri S&T cancels classes for 2 days for St. Pats, so she got to help celebrate with him.

 Here he is lighting the cake!

We may need a bigger cake next year to hold all the candles!

We had roast beef, mashed potatoes, noodles, rolls, and his favorite red velvet cake on Saturday with his parents.  Then DD and I took him to see an afternoon movie.......Peter Rabbit.  It was wonderful!  

Beware the Ides of March

I can't believe we are already to the middle of the month!  I was working with some basket weavers this past weekend and commented on the Ides of March and they had no idea where the phrase came from.  My inner English teacher sprang to life and had to impart some literary wisdom about the famous quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.  So now we are all on the lookout for "bad" things happening.

NOT bad things............

 Andi's basket is turning out beautifully........she has added the leather handles and has it ready to rim.

In like a lamb???

I can't quite believe it's March!  I can't decide if we are getting Lion or Lamb weather today.  It's very windy, but at least it's sunny.  

It has been a long week.  The hubs did have the flu.  It was pretty quiet around the house as he just didn't feel like talking for several days, and now is still coughing (and talking leads to coughing), so I have been thankful for Jason and Cici.  I did spend 3 nights sleeping in the spare room, which was sad since hubby felt so bad.  I did get to sleep under a different quilt though!  And, I discovered where Cici spends the night...........on the spare bed.  I think she was quite glad to see hubby improve and me move out of her bed.

We enjoyed some warmer days this week.  However, this seems to have awakened the lady bugs.

Cici did her best to corral them for me.
