Happy St Patrick’s day!  OK,  one day late.  We celebrated with friends, a party at the pool and catered in corned beef and cabbage.  But very good, and the Irish coffee’s topped it off.   We are in Florida since Tuesday.  Weather in the Midwest is record breaking, but we do love Florida.   Once the sun goes down here it is still warm and comfortable.  We booked awhile back, and to get decent airline rates stayed a week.  And my boss let me work some days from here so I did not have to burn up vacation.  That works great.   And weather has been wonderful here also.  Every day sun shine and ocean breezes.

I have worked some hours on our kitchen plan.  We did cabinets in the dining room last year with a plan to extend to the kitchen eventually.  Just a small kitchen here.  And some condo’s had opened up the wall, and we really like how that opens up the kitchen and dining room.   So I feel good that I have made that progress.  This may be our last time down until next winter,  so we can plan with how it looks now.

So everyone enjoy the wonderful weather.   We are all blessed!

Well we made it into March,  but Mother Nature has reminded us that summer is not around the corner yet.   We have had a mild Wisconsin winter,  and last night we had the biggest snow fall of this winter.  About 6 inches of wet heavy snow.  It makes for plowing a gravel driveway to be a little messy.   But things are cleaned up and temperature is around freezing.   And by mid week we could hit 50,  which will be pleasant.   And will add some moisture to the wet lands for Spring!   Next weekend daylight savings time!

And better to have snow than tornado’s.  Say a prayer for those without homes, and we hope that weather can be done for this season.

A down week at work.  We are going through another round of down sizing, so each day the buzz was about which names we heard.   I think there are still some to find out about this coming week.

So a couple of things around the house,  but a relaxing day.  Tonight I go with friends to a beer dinner and festival at the EAA.   A beautiful setting in the museum.  A dinner by an excellent local restaurant paired with New Glarus beers.  Life is good.

So have yourself a good Saturday.
