I'm here, just been a little busy to respond, but then I had 3 pages to read! Congrats to everyone who heard from their sailors. And thanks Dunesmom and Kathy B for mentioning signs of spring. You sure are determined, Colleen, but glad you found a place to jog. I've been such a couch potato lately. Saturday I leave for Washington D.C. For a few days with postmasters meeting with our representatives/senators. I will have to do some walking (and dancing) so I'll get some exercise. I paid for swimming at a place in Marshall but haven't been up to tavelling in the snowy, cold weather. Like Kathy, I would rather swim.
Kathy B, you have some fun things coming up, enjoy!
Yvette, it's so neat to get a surprise in the mail. I like getting packages wrapped in local news and would read it like you did.
Can you all warm it up and melt some snow before I return to Michigan next Wednesday? I'm hoping D.C. Will feel like spring. I'm taking capris just in case.
I had to drive 6 miles into Tekonsha this morning. Not good with all the snow and blowing. I hope this is winter's last blast!

Kim, I stayed off 131 and took the backroads in. Still a little scarey and longer, but I didn't want to drive with some of those idiots. The Belmont area is like the Twilight Zone.

Took me an hour and 20 minutes to get to work this morning. I drive in from Cedar Springs to downtown GR. Lots of ditch parties.

I feel sorry for you guys south and east of GR. We are only supposed to get 2-3". Have I mentioned lately how much I hate winter?
Lorraine, where are you?

Okie dokie Kathy! Let's see, right out of your driveway, left onto VanDyke, sprint down to 12 Mile, right onto 12 Mile, stop for a Big Mac at the McD's past Mound, walk back to VanDyke to let it settle, turn left and a slow jog back to your house. How's that?!

I knew I wasn't crazy seeing green poking out of the ground in the uncovered part of the garden. Just a couple of sprigs but i'll take it! Yes it is true Colleen has been zipping around Meijers. Nice and safe from the snow, slush and ice. Thanks for the Kleenex I think I used most of them. I'll get the next box for everyone. Let me know when you need them:). Dune had a pretty good Birthday and found out he has been in and out of the country a few times since being home from his long deployment. where to? who knows, he is very hush hush also. Have a great week and think warm thoughts everyone
