yes, my peeps, me thinks there's a lesson to be learned with this one.
I'm tired and I'm going home.  work be damned.

ice free sidewalk

  I'm serious.  the ice finally melted from one of the office sidewalks.  the nasty walk from the parking lot along the north side of the building to the front door.  finally. melted.
 
  There is still a couple of ice bergs along the fence and in the yard.  mainly shaded by the building.  if it rains over the weekend they'll  be gone too.

   I did spy some tulip shoots peeking up on the south side -- the "micro" climate between us and the bar warms up a bit faster.


10 days peeps, 10 days to freedom.
10 days, 9 nights and 2 weekends.

monday afternoon

  rule #1 .... never call your accountant on Monday morning.  especially a Monday after a holiday.  because:

a)  she's grumpy
b)  you should not have waited this long to do your return
c)  it's Monday
d)  she's really really grumpy

and I kid you not, at least 5 people have asked about the cat.  need to print up a big picture of him and drape in black ribbons.  ugh.

and it's fricking cold.  like 21' this morning.  what the hell.

It'll be a stretch but I can DO IT.  I DID IT !!!! TOOK ALL FLIPPING DAY BUT I DID IT !!!

I was supposed to meet family at 6:00am church.  Instead I came to the office.  I was the only vehicle on US Hwy 169 this morning.  That is rare. 

Donna K.  it was good to chat with you last night !!  We need a coffee, tea, knitting night!  (as in you need to teach me to knit).

Easter Blessings to all.

finally friday
 
 
 
Today is the 15th anniversary of the big wind that changed our lives -- as I look back I've come to the realization that it was just a tornado.   I will always be grateful for the assistance and support from family, friends and strangers.  Blessings abounded.  Many thanks to the landlord that did everything possible to get us back into the building and operational.  I was lucky -- I had an undamaged home -- so many others lost so much more.  A simple thank-you will never be enough.

I look back and see the friends and family who helped us get thru those tough days -- who are no longer with us.  Remembering their love and support is so much more important than a flipping tornado.



can you find me -- I was 229 West Broadway


On a lighter note -- I ordered my seed Wednesday night -- a lot of waffling about garden ... no garden occurred up that point.  Ordered and arriving shortly.  A little fresh air and dirt will be good.
