It snowed for about an hour and then turned to rain. It had warmed up to 35, but with the wind gusting to 44 miles an hour it felt much colder. I checked the rain gauge at noon and we had gotten .60. The grass and trees are really greening up. The rain is great for that! I just want 65 or 70 degree warmth with the rain. I'm not fussy or anything!
DD1 came home Tuesday night after her last test. She is done with this school year. She has one more year of nursing school and will graduate next May. DD1 has a degree in Health and Wellness. She moved to FL and managed a fitness center for 5 years. When the economy started affecting her job, she decided it was time to return to school. It's nice to have her closer to home ( only 75 miles away). She will work at the Golden Living Center full time this summer. Hopefully, she can come home more often for visits. It has been challenging for her to have any time off working and going to school. She will make a wonderful, caring nurse. We love having her home. She plans on coming back for Mother's Day.
Only 3 more weeks and DD2 will be home for our nephew's wedding Memorial week-end. We haven't seen her since Christmas, so we are all more than ready for another visit. She bought her house in Pensacola 3 years ago. It is a nice little 3 bedroom home. We haven't been to P'cola for 2 years now. It's hard to get someone to watch the ranch while we are gone.
I finished my "love" block for the Gifts of Grace BOM. The pattern called for yellow hearts too, but I opted for different pinks. I like it!
I missed our church's Ladies Night Salad Supper tonight. It started out years ago as a Mother/Daughter night in our small church. It has progressed to a larger all community involvement. We invite all the women of the community and have a potluck salad supper in the town auditorium. The theme this year is "God is Love". BFF Peg called me this morning to see if I was coming in to town. Part way through the conversation, DH beeped in---the north cows were coming out the gate he left open. We were running a little later with chores, because we were waiting for the rain to let up. These girls didn't appreciate having a later breakfast. They returned easily to where they belonged with some "encouragement". With the wet weather and extra work, I just couldn't get away tonight and leave DH to do it all alone.
Everyone is dried off and out of the wind. Looks like we might have some sunshine tomorrow and then rain the next 3 days. We will regroup tomorrow. Hugs.............
