Good morning. Snow is sliding off the roof making a display of the coming of spring. I think we all look forward to that season more this year than ever. Also, a signal of spring, Nate arrived home last night from his few months of travel, with a concentration in the USA this year. Can spring be far away? I think not!
Monica and her crew come today. I do love a clean house and fresh beds. It is a blessing.
While they are here, Andy and I are going to the Amish store in Plain City. I look forward to that too, so my day is looking good. I will tell you about any new product that I see there. I know I am getting their homemade cheese bread. Andy loves the croutons that I make from those loaves. I need a big supply of their pickled jarred products too. Their Jake and Amos pickled products are the best I have tried so far; slightly sweet with a tiny kick, it adds to an anti-pasta salad like none other.
I wonder if we can have Easter here this year with the family. By then most people in that age range should have had their shots. I would like to celebrate our anniversary as well as Joe and Glenda's as we married in April and they married in May Sixty-three years ago. If we have a potluck, it should not be too hard on anyone. It's a nice thought and something to look forward to.
I am struggling through The Four Winds by Hannah Kristin, the most depressing yet compelling book I have read in some time. I don't want to read it because it brings me down, but it's like a car wreck, you can't not look.
Bella, our Yorkie is terrified of the chair lift. But, if she wants to come downstairs she had best get used to it because that's how we roll now. It's growing on me.
Sweet pickled pleasure from the Amish cheese shop--they have the jarred pickle products and I put them together with savory items from the fridge.
