SPRING IS THE AIR

Monday, March 15 – The weather here has been beautiful! It is great to sit outside all day and into the early evening.

Marsha is having the biggest time seeing everything blooming in the middle of March. She takes the camera everywhere she goes and snaps the trees and flowers in bloom.

She even takes the camera to Walmart!

Thursday, March 18 –
Took a ride today and happened upon a Chain Gang working along the road. Maybe that's one of the reasons Texas has such nice roads....cheap labor! Marsha made me take the picture way before we got there. She was afraid they might get us….LOL

Marsha has been cleaning up the leaves around the Club House about everyday. She even made announcement at the Social Hour last night trying to convince people to come and help her. She got lots of laughs. One of her friends, Louise, did come and help her for two hours. That was so nice of her.

We finally got to play Mexican Train. Peggy, a good friend, Dottie, Fran, Marsha and I had a good time talking and playing. We are going take over organizing Mexican Train on Thursdays at 6:30. There are few other people who want to join us next Thursday.

Friday, March 19 – Went up to Palestine, TX to watch high school softball. Our daughter, Kelly, is the head coach. It was fun to see high school softball again. She has some really nice girls. They played hard. They lost 3-1, but it was a fun game. We are very proud of her.

After the game, we took Kelly out to lunch. We enjoyed catching up and talked about what she wants to do in the future. She's considering moving to a different school district next year, and we talked about different options. She has some decisions to make!

Got back home (Livingston) and settled down to watch March Madness basketball.

Another week, more beautiful weather! Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon.
