So the snow if finally starting to melt here in Mass. Looks like we're not going to get those 2 inches to break the all-time snowfall record. However, friend reminded me "March comes in like a lamb, it goes out like a lion" & we have a saying here - if you don't like to weather, wait a minute. So we'll see....

Hugs joshmom, but I know your heart has a collections of fun and hugs of your son's visit.
Wonder what Blondie is doing?
Maggs- I like the Lions. And how about some stories of your trip to New York.
Any one have plans for Spring/Easter break? I just realized it will be Riker's third holiday.
He was our Valentine - have not thought what to do for his first St. Patrick's Day - maybe green milk ? No then his poo would really be something. Easter - ? Let you know what comes up.
WE have Spring here ! 50 today !!! Warmer tomorrow.
Melting slowly too - good. OH how fresh is that air :).And FINALLY - I am done with major scouting stuff!!!
Done - beading patches - making thank yous and certificates = advancements - YIPPEE !! this weekend will be the last major thing for a while and I have it under control. Packing up activities for kids to do while they wait to race their cars. But finally time to write a gossip letter to teh family and bead for fun. Even making plans to make that dance shawl.
Well, its late - going for some quiet time with Vic watching tv adn drinking some tea hugs

Hello All!
Had to say "See ya Later" to my sailor on Sunday and he's now safely back in Japan. It was so wonderful having him home but now I'm trying to get back to a somewhat normal routine (what's normal? LOL) and trying to play catch-up on here.
I've enjoyed all your pics and I see we have some very talented moms on here...beautiful bead work and afghans!
Sorry I missed your birthday TLynn - hope you're still celebrating!
Blondie, so sad about Lori but glad to read that you're on a trip right now...enjoy enjoy enjoy!
Hope everyone is doing well, feeling healthy and life is treating you all great!
