* It is finally, FINALLY feeling like spring around here. Today was supposed to reach 20C/68F. I don't think it's quite there -- but we've been out walking, and everyone has been out raking their yards & washing their cars. About time!!!
* It was dh's birthday this past weekend. BIL invited us over for a barbecue, and we got to spend some quality time with our nephews and their girlfriends. Made dh's day. :)
* On a sad note, there was a death in my extended family this past week -- my mother's cousin's wife, 62 years old. Way too young, and totally unexpected.
* When I hear stories like this, it makes me feel less guilty about my earlier-than-planned retirement. Sometimes, life is just too damned short.

Agreed ... life IS too short. And weekends like this one remind me to suck the marrow out of it while I can. Wishing you the gift of lovely spring weekends, and sending my thoughts of comfort to your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your family member. It is a good reminder that we're not here forever.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your husband!
The sounds and sights of spring were present in my neighborhood over the weekend too. I agree with you-FINALLY!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your DH! And I'm sorry for the loss of your family member.
Condolences on the loss of your family member.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a taste of spring. And I have to tell you, some days I think of your retirement with more than a bit of envy! (In a good way, of course :-) )
