A Teasing of Spring

Yesterday the temperatures were spring-like here in Forrest City. But, it isn't going to last very long. It was a bit windy this morning and this afternoon it rained. Less than an inch of rain fell, but it seamed like a lot more. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler--in the 40s. That's better than it was about two weeks ago, so it shouldn't be too bad.

The glass in our door has been replaced. Someone took a wicker coffee table from our front porch last night. Lynda noticed it missing when she looked out through the new glass to check on her cat. That is the third table that has been stolen from our place.

We have spent a lot of this week watching the Olympics on TV.

Covered with Snow

Lynda and I went to Paris, TX last week to visit with Ray and Carolyn and to see the play (The Music Man)that Ray was directing for Paris Community Theater. We also got to visit with Jo Helen and her friend, Shelia. We did not get to see the production on the night we had planned to--the lead was sick and unable to perform.

Ray got the final word that Michelle was too sick to perform as we were eating supper.

We had planned to come home on Monday, but decided to wait when Lauri called early Monday morning and said, "You are not driving to Arkansas in this weather." She said that there was five inches of snow on the ground and she didn't like the idea of us driving.

By staying an extra day we were able to enjoy the play and drive home over a clear highway with the sun shining. On the way, we got a call from Betty inviting us to come to their house for supper.

The ground is still pretty much covered with the snow and we may get a bit more on Friday. This is a shot of a friend's house.

Continuation of Winter

The ground hog indicated that we would have six weeks more of winter weather. Today is a dreary, cold and rainy day. I'm planning to pretty much just stay inside. There are several projects that I could work on, but if I don't watch out, I'll probably just goof off again.
