And give her brand-new blog some love (be sure to tell her I sent you…)

http://middyjane.wordpress.com/

(Middy Jane was her mother’s pet name for her when she was growing up and it still occasionally slips out. Short for Midget.)

She’ll probably have some knitting and some quilting and I don’t know what else. Poetry maybe?

Anyway, you have to go visit and see the picture of the hat and shrug she made for her newest grandbaby. Totally cute. I think she needs to post a picture of the grandbaby *wearing* the shrug, though.

(edited later to add: well, it would help if I made the link clickable….and also if I said “go visit my Mom, PLEASE” sheesh, who taught me my manners???)

The weather fun continues here in Eastern Iowa.

Remember all that snow and ice we had all winter long? Well, apparently we are going to have rain and rain all spring long. Last weekend was a total of 4 inches worth.

This weekend? It rained yesterday and it is raining (and going to continue to rain) today. Basements full of water, sewers backing up. Mud everywhere. The creek is out again, and I’m sure there will be flooding issues around the state.

On a bright note, the temps are nice and when it isn’t raining, it’s been beautiful out, plus, the grass is a gorgeous shade of green.

The thunder and rain woke Joe up before 6 and he came to join me in bed. The first thing he said was “School will probably be canceled.”
