Happy Mother’s day to all you mothers out there.

Here in Iowa it is another cloudy, cool day. We had rain over night and more chances today and during the week. Still waiting for spring to come for more than one day. It was sixty degrees yesterday and fifty five predicted today when rain by evening. Sounds like summer will beat spring here again this year. Eight five predicted for Wednesday. The sun and warmth sounds good but we know when it goes from fifty five degrees one day to eighty five two days later there will probably be storms in between.

I am definitely ready for some “sitting on the deck” weather.

We have a granddaughter getting married on the Saturday of Memorial day weekend. And another granddaughter, actually or ‘baby” granddaughter” graduating high school the next day. It will be the beginning of a busy summer/fall. We have four weddings so far this year, the last of the year will be a grandson in October. It will be busy but a fun time.

We are very lucky that so far all our family gatherings have been fun events. We are now 35 strong and we are able to all be together for most the family gathering. We are now in that period when that isn’t always possible. We will have a granddaughter teaching high school math in Taiwan and won’t be home till after our family Christmas gathering. Another grandson has moved to southern Illinois and one to Nebraska.  Their drives to family gatherings have gotten a bit lengthy for short weekend gatherings. Thank heaven most live close.

Have a great spring, if it ever gets here. And enjoy the day.

Take care,

Rose
