March has arrived

This has been a long winter - but March is here and the promise of spring, right?  March also has the promise of lots of birthdays, Easter (this year) and a new baby - we're excited.    All week long the weathermen have been predicting snow, but Macomb escaped all of the storms, which we are very grateful for, but it was still cold.  It's suppose to be warm and dry enough here tomorrow that we might just get out and play some tennis.  Whoopee!!

Grandpa and I have spent most of our time this past week doing our normal activities - draperies (for me), genealogy (both of us), preparing for the Stake Basketball Tournament (grandpa), and taking walks at Wal Mart (best way to get exercise on cold days) - not to terribly exciting, huh?  

The basketball tourny turned out really well, thanks to all of Hal's hard work and last minute coolness.  He has spent the last month or so sending out emails, organizing and planning for this event - LOTS of hours.  All looked good - the teams were all signed up and the schedule of play was completed, then Sat. morning came and several of the teams just never showed up.  That was very disappointing - they haven't done this to him before.  So, Hal had to scramble to figure out new schedules, which isn't fun to do when everyone is standing around asking questions and wondering who they are to play next and where.   Being in charge sometimes isn't fun.  Despite all of the problems, everyone seemed to have a good time and all teams were able to play at least 2 games, so they all went home happy - we think.  The day started at 7 am and ended at 4:30 pm for us - long day.  So, that's over for another year.

Here's to good weather for all this month.
