ROUND 'N ROUND WE GO.....MARCH 27 2012.....

Just like on a merry-go-round.  That is my life.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  Let's see, where do I start.  Probably with the best.

Talked to daughter Rebecca a couple of nights ago and heard some really exciting news.  Granddaughter Shelby has been invited to become a member of the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.  She is a junior in H.S. this year.  Is that cool, or what.

She has been on the honor roll in her school all through middle and high school, high honors yet.  She also tutors other students.  The induction ceremony is in May.  WOW!!!

Also saw the cover Rebecca has designed for her first book release this year.  It is awesome.  Anxious to get a copy of the book to read when it is released.

Next - have a meeting with Candice, (friend and travel agent) today re the trip to Ireland in June.  It will be here before we know it.  Nancy and I already tossing ideas back and forth regarding  how much we should take with us for a 15 day round trip (12 days touring, 3 days travel time). 

In addition to flying, we will be taking a 12 day bus tour of Ireland, beginning and ending in Dublin.  Can only have one large suitcase and smaller carry on for the bus.  Going to take some juggling.  Decisions, decisions.

Also am to judge the photography portion of the annual art show held in the Library at Woodsfield Ohio on Monday April 2nd.  Which is good as I'll get to spend the day with friend Georgia.  Also, if I can squeeze it in, they prefer that I attend the awards ceremony (which will be on Saturday April 7th) to present the photography ribbons.  That is  iffy, as it is the day before Easter.  Will have to play it by ear.

As of right now the weeks of April 8th and 15th are free.....hope to get my flower beds finished.

The packing to leave for Arizona.  When I return it will be May and I will wonder where April disappeared to.

I don't think we got the hard freeze here on the hill-top that was predicted for last night.  I do know that down in the valley it is always much colder than up here.  You would think it would be the other way around, but no, they are always colder.

I didn't see any frost this morning, and the temp as  in the mid 30's.  Maybe our orchard lucked out.

Also thought I would share pictures taken a while back in the winter. 

I stood in my dining room looking out the glass wall and took the pictures.  Enjoy and be glad that spring is springing, hopefully.  Take care and God Bless.
