Derf Here! From the Northeast on a very soggy day. Very, very damp. The weather experts tell us to expect the same through Friday. And colder too! Hopefully Saturday will be sunny and warm.
I'm ready for some warm spring weather. My spring chores are almost completed. My tractor has been delivered to the dealer for its tuneup. Hope to have it back within a few days. The motor home is now at my mechanic's to get an inspection sticker. It traveled only about 100 miles last year. It was used as a summer residence for Kaelen the last two years as she worked in our area. Since no one is planning on coming from Illinois to work here this summer, I hope to sell the motor home. Our "traveling in the camper days" will come to a close. We made two trips to Illinois in it. However, at 7 to 8 miles to a gallon of gasoline, it is too expensive to travel such distances. Especially when our car gets 30 to 32 miles per gallon. Hope it sells!
I've started to fix up our lawn where I dug it up plowing this winter. It still needs a little more work. It might even be green in a few weeks. Sure do like signs of new life in the Spring. Can't wait to get our garden of tomatoes, cukes and squash planted in our front lawn garden plot. About a month away. I'll be mowing the lawn by then.
Well, the college basketball season is over. Was glad to see the U.Conn. ladies blow away Louisville last night. Happy for Rick Pitino to win another championship with his Louisville men's team. He is the only coach to win national championships at two different schools (Kentucky and Louisville). He also was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame this week. His son recently was named head coach at Minnesota. He co-owns a horse that recently won a derby race and is now a favorite for the Kentucky Derby. Quite a week for Mr. Pitino.
Now I'll concentrate on the Celtics as they made the professional playoffs. They won't last long. Probably out the first round!
But, How About Those Red Sox! Off to a great start. It is going to be an interesting year!
I seem to have covered the sports scene. Enough about that for now.
A quick note about sister Jean. She continues to struggle in an Indianapolis hospital. Her condition is very serious. She continues to be unresponsive. We ask for prayers to continue for her full recovery. A miracle is in order. I'll keep you posted.
Next week is school vacation around here and Glen, Deb and sons will be traveling to Florida to spend some time with my sister Deb in Leesburg. They leave Thursday afternoon and hope to be in Leesburg sometime Friday afternoon. Hope they enjoy their week in the South. Journey mercies!!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
