Thanking God!

After our HORRID Ice Storm of 2007, and seeing all the damage, especially the trees, I thought... we will not have a very pretty spring, much less fall (my favorite season). I am sure God just laughed at me! It was pouring rain as I went to work yesterday, but as I drove home, the beauty took my breath away. The Bradford Pears are already blooming but, the REDBUDS were NOT yesterday morning!! But they sure were at 4:oo yesterday afternoon. Isn't God just amazing? And, as I gazed at the beauty of it all, it dawned on me......I BARELY see tree damage! And then I heard that wee small voice "oh. yea of little faith!!" I smiled and thanked Him for yet another lesson.

Anyway, CB is going to mow today...and I am itching to plant something. In the upper 70s today! And I smell LILACS!! Oh, happy day!

Have We Lost Our Minds??

Yes, I believe we have lost our mind. We being Charles and Toy, and Craig and Dana. We have agreed to run the 10th Inning 2007 Baseball Season.......CONCESSION STAND!! Like any of us NEED something more to do. But!! We committed, so there ya go. Season begins May 19th and ends the middle of July. It is only on Saturdays, and we really have what appears a GREAT group of volunteers. AND!! Mark Hillenblog PROMISED to take the weekend of FIREFALL! We CANNOT miss Firefall!! And, no games Memorial weekend. So see?? Already 2 down!! Actually, it should be loads of fun, and we don't plan on working it every weekend anyway! Still, did we get drugged or something??

Happy Birthday Dad!

Yep! Today would have been my dad's birthday. He would have been 90! But he has been gone since 1989! Miss you daddy!

Anyone wanna hear my day? Going to work at 8:30. Try to clear my desk by 10:30. At that time, going to a system celebration. St. John's, Springfield was named the #1 Integrated System in the NATION! Pretty impressive, if you ask me. Then going to lunch (which is worthy of blogging this, as I usually eat at my desk, or don't have lunch at all). Should be back by 1:00, at which time I will work on my operational budget until 4:30 (someone shoot me!). Clean up my desk, and scurry right out to the Emergency Department. Working as Unit Secretary until 1:30 a.m. It is fun, and different from my day job, so I enjoy doing that occasionally. CB will bring me some dinner at some point during the evening. Maybe I will have fun stories from that shift!

Hope to go see "Wild Hogs" Saturday. And I am ready to 'spring' up my house. Anyone else done that yet?

Enough chatter this am!
