Nate (our grandson) is coming home from three months in Hawaii. We will be glad to see him and already he has weeks of work at the ready.
It snowed all day yesterday, yet the birds are chirping spring into place. It is cold for the next couple of days, but it won't stop the spring thaw. More good news, the fence is fixed after three weeks and now the dogs can roam with only the coyotes to worry us.
We are looking forward to Alex's wedding in Cincinnati next month. It is hard to believe it is here already. Time flys on.
I have started The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker. It's a brand new book and what I have read so far is good...not my usual fiction choice, but it seems to move in an interesting direction.
Chili is on the menu today. I do love it and I like making it because it is never the same twice. I actually got waylaid and am making Andy's morning cereal--granola. It is a process, but he does love it. After 60 years of marriage, I know what the man likes. He is off to class at OSU and I will have it done by the time he gets home. He had to make a coconut run for the granola and stopped to get me a hot macchiato to give me strength--so after 60 years, he too knows what I like.
Beth is working in Cincinnati again this week. She has spent two or three days a week there for several weeks helping to organize a move. I think this may be the last week, so I am sending money with her to go to Jungle Jim's to pick up Rose's little shoulder hams which seem to have disappeared from the Columbus shelves. I hear Jungle Jim's has them. What an interesting and large spot that is. A group of Lechler women and I went there one time and could not cover it all in one go--it's acres. Beth is meeting some of these women for dinner and to pass on Alex's (our niece) wedding gift. It is heavy and unwrapped. Have you ever tried to lift a Kitchen Aid stand mixer let alone wrap it? Alex and her husband to be have finished med school and are awaiting Residents assignments. What a pair!
Well, enough news, I am off to make the chili. Have a great week.
