Woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground with the high at 26 today, but the sun is finally shining! By next Saturday it should be almost 50, so we just have a few more days and it should start warming up.
Steve's been going in at 5am the last couple of mornings. He looked tired this morning, not sleeping very good.
Made homemade pizza last night. We made a long cake pan full to the top, and what wasn't eaten last night, Steve and Ruth took for lunch today. The dog got his share, too.

We got some very sad news last week about a "boy" here in town. He went to Afghanistan in December and he is coming home tomorrow. They are planning on lining Main Street for his arrival. The visitation will be Saturday 8am- 8pm and the funeral will be at the Oakland High School Sunday afternnoon at 2pm. Jared Southworth was only 26 years old. He leaves his parents, who were Craig's tee-ball coaches, a sister and a brother, his wife and 4 very small children. Jared and Doug played little league at the same time and were in Webelos together.

Please pray for his family and friends. It's going to be hard going on without him.










The Easter cards are finished! They came out so colorful. Just as long as I don't forget where I put them by the time Easter gets here!



Still working on Easter cards this morning- got 3 done yesterday and they turned out good, so thought I would try to get some more done. It rained sometime in the night and everything is damp outside and a bit warmer.
My friend, Kyle, helped me with my new blog skin. His wife has a very cute one on theirs, so I asked him where she found it. Thanks, Kyle!

Making Easter cards this morning. I found these online and thought they were pretty, so they will be the front of the card. I wrote a poem about the Easter Bunny about four years ago that I will print out and put inside. These vintage postcards are so bright and cheery and we have a very gray, cold day happening here.
