Rainy Day

It is a rainy Sunday. The kind of day where you stay inside and think about doing things. Whether you actually do any of them is questionable.

Ted and Peggy left on their cross country trip yesterday. They expect to arrive here on the 4th of May. Their day one goal was to reach Helena MT. That's about 500 miles and makes for a long day in the RV. They are going to try visiting some wildlife refuges, but may find them still closed for the season. Hopefully they won't have too much really cold weather.

I bought the paint for the baby's room yesterday. I will have to get to work on that.

Dying Easter Eggs - Last Week

Dying easter eggs hasn't changed much.

Happy Easter

We had a very good Easter Sunday. We were up early this morning and Seth had a good time with his Easter basket and hunting for eggs in the house. It was too cold to have an outdoor egg hunt. We met the parents and Joe for church and then spent the rest of the day at Mom and Dad's.

Seth really likes Jelly beans and M&M's. Actually anything sweet is ok with him.

Holy Saturday Snow

We have a cold Easter in store. Last night we got a dusting of snow which was enough to cover the grass, but not enough to stick to the roads. Highs today were in the low 40's and the overnight lows are forecast to be in the mid 20's.

It is kind of unusual for this time of year. We had beautiful weather earlier in the week with temps in the 80's.

Easter will be at Mom and Dad's. Joe is coming from Baltimore, Maureen is in Peru and the Youngs are having Greek Easter in Hopewell.

A Weekend Away

Over the pst weekend we took a little trip to North Carolina. My regular meeting was on Friday, so Debbie and Seth tagged along and we visited our friends in Durham for the weekend. We had a good trip. Seth is really a very good traveler. He is pretty flexible and tolerates the change well. He is also tolerant of long hours in the car without fussing.

Beth and will came to visit yesterday and are staying until tomorrow. Seth was really excited to see them last evening.

Road Trip

On the spur of the moment yesterday we decided to head out to New Jersey to visit Beth, Lou and Will. On the way we picked up Joe in Baltimore. It was a good trip. I had a good time.

Coming home we dropped Joe at his house and then got stuck in cross-town traffic for the St. Patrick's day parade. That was a HUGE mess. It took an hour to get across Baltimore. Yuck

All is well on the home front. Mom and Dad come home from Egypt on Tuesday.

Working at home today

Debbie has a doctor's appointment at 11 so I am working at home today. She has to visit the doctor every two weeks now so they can check on the progress with the baby. Normally she would have asked Mom to watch Seth, but since she's in Egypt, I'll be doing it.

To Raleigh Again

I am off to Raleigh again to day; Return home tomorrow.

It doesn't make any sense to drive to my office in SS and then leave for Raleigh, so I am working at home this morning. It is interesting to work at home. I can hear Debbie and Seth talking upstairs, but I can't make out what they are saying. It's like when you are at the doctor's office waiting in the exam room and you can hear the doctor talking to the patient next door.

So far the new office is working well.

Saturday Morning

It's a nice warm day here so far. Seth was out playing with the neighbor kids for a while. I think he was having fun. I think I will work on refinishinghis bed this afternoon. THat project has been on hold because it has been too cold to work in the garage, and I don't want to use paint stripper in the basement; too many fumes.

Debbie took a spill yesterday afternnon. She and the baby are both ok, but she peeled about half of her pinky fingernail off. It looks bad and she says it really hurts. There is not much to be done about it but to keep it covered and take tylenol. She's a tough cookie.

Back From Raleigh

I had a quick trip to Raleigh yesterday and today. I am back home now. I have to go again next week.

Mom and Dad came over for dinner this evening. They are off to Egypt tomorrow. They are excited about it. I think it will be a great trip.
