This is Spring?

Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that spring is here!

Diane took these pictures on 03/28/08. As you can see, about 4 inches of snow fell in her area.

Gary and I were a little luckier - we got less than an inch of snow - but we've been setting records all winter. We've had 80 inches of snow so far compared to the average of 38 inches. That's the second highest snowfall on record for our area. People are hoping we get another inch so we can break the all-time record, but I say phooey! I'd rather let that record stand!

The good news is that this snow didn't last long. It all melted within a couple of days and we're now enjoying temperatures pushing 60 degrees (accompanied by typical spring weather - sunshine interspersed with rain).

The snow was actually Diane's fault. She was so convinced spring was here that she hung up her "Welcome" flag in anticipation. She jinxed us!

That's alright. Diane can make it up to us later in the summer by inviting us over for frozen margaritas!

Family Get Together

Gary, Beth and their boys (pooches Scout & Rookie) came to visit us last weekend and we had a get together with the family. Kerry, Dave & Grace came to visit and so did Bob & Diane. Beth made a delicious apple crisp for us since we're all watching our weight or trying to eat healthy, so we popped some candles on top and celebrated Beth & Gary's birthdays at the same time. It was a very enjoyable weekend. Wish you all could have joined us. Enjoy the pics!
