Yesterday I saw a Robin. It is always the first sign of Spring.
Last Friday, the snow finally melted from the back deck. No more “white” or dirty white. It is too early to predict that we have seen the last snow but the warm weather feels good. Good signs.
Sunday was the dumb “daylight savings time” conversion. I have never understood the reasons to keep changing the the time forward and back. There is supposed to be an energy savings. Bullsh–. It made last weekend very short. Seniors die because their normal routines get changed (it is a proven fact, heart attacks, etc.). So I want you to know I was at risk last weekend. The clock setting routine does signify “Spring”.
Last Friday was daughter-in-law Shelby Jr.’s birthday. Happy Birthday.
Today is grand-daughter Keely’s birthday. Happy Birthday.
Tomorrow is daughter-in-law Jenny’s birthday. Happy Birthday.
Jeepers there are a lot of pre-Spring birthdays. I’m not sure what that is a sign of!
The sirens blew this morning in Appleton around 9:00 AM and there were fireworks over the DMV. Grandson Collin got his drivers license. This was an epic battle. Congratulations Collin.
Last night Uncle Bob was admitted to the hospital feeling poorly and running a fever. They discovered a perforated intestine and he was headed for the operating room. I don’t know what the medical procedures are for a perforation. Hopefully everything turns out okay. His status was not known this morning. I think Bob’s Dad (Grandpa George) had a similar condition and operation many years ago. It is very serious. Keep him in your prayers.
My attention now turns to the NCAA basketball tournament. It is a Spring event.
This week I will get snow tires removed from both cars. You know that the moment the snow tires come off, it will snow. It is the ultimate sign of Spring.
When the temperature reaches 65 degrees each day this week, enjoy the sunshine. Everything is coming up roses.
Love,
Dad
