Is it really spring? It was unseasonably cold today, with several bouts of blizzard-like squalls. On the way to church there were firetrucks and police cars blocking off certain ramps to Route 30, and we were forced off in a few spots. The Walworth bridge was a sheet of ice. I couldn’t tell if there was an accident at the other end, but I detoured through town to get to the church. I was sitting in the service and someone opened the door to the welcome center, and I couldn’t even see across the parking lot. But everything was salted and clear when I left to go home.

I went straight to Hunker to pick up Christina. She needed clothes for school. In the past year or so she has lost 26 pounds, being involved in sports and activities and just being busy. We went to Gabe’s first, and she got two pair of leggings, black jeans, a pair of shorts, a Champion sweatshirt, and a pair of SpongeBob boxer shorts to sleep in. She informed me that it was the newest thing to sleep in men’s boxers. I didn’t tell her I’ve been sleeping in boxers since about the 1990’s, so it’s not a new thing!
Chrissy also tried on a dress, although once she had it on she absolutely didn’t like it at all. I will admit that it wasn’t her style.
We had lunch at Panera Bread, and we both had cheddar broccoli soup. It was very good! I also grabbed two chocolate chip bagels for breakfast a few mornings next week. When we cut through Youngwood on the way home, we swung into the parking lot at the Corner Market and bought two boxes of Girls Scout cookies. I got Thin Mints and she got a new kind, a soft brownie with caramel, chocolate drizzle and sea salt. It was still snowing when I dropped her off.
Now I plan to write out a few notes, catch up on some paperwork, and maybe have a hot tea. As marvelous as the soup was, it did not agree with me. So I’ll make cautious choices for the rest of the evening.
I’m still basking in the delight of yesterday’s Skunk Hollow event. It was so fun. And I forgot to share the mysterious voicemail message left on my phone by an anonymous person (absolutely NOT my sister’s husband!!!) :
March 27 -Tell of a childhood illness. “Mumps bothered me the worst. The Chicken Pox were just an annoyance. Whooping Cough was a long illness but I wasn’t too bad. I hardly knew I had measles.” She went through them all!
Yesterday’s vacation destination was vacations for seniors as depicted by the photo posted. Numerous reasons were listed but it really didn’t convince me! But there’s probably no place that you could go that you wouldn’t enjoy! Here are their top suggestions:
