Catching up 2008 into 2009

Today is one of those beautiful spring days. I walked to the meadow down the road from our place. I started doing that just to get the feeling of being in nature. Even though we are surrounded by forest and no houses, when I am out side here all I see is the work that needs to be done.

What a shame, I need to change that mind set some how. We are so lucky in so many ways.


Dad was doing good the 3 months since we were there, then last week he collasped.
Now he has brain lesions.. and is getting radiated again for them.
He has been through so much this past 2 years.

March:
We missed some very cold days when we left mid- December.
Once back it has mostly been nice for a month or so. Finally getting some needed rain in March.
Along with it being spring one day and winter the next.
Of course just thinking spring brings up the ton of work it takes to get ready to
garden.

January - February:
Settle in and start dealing with a computer (XP-Pro P4 5 years old)that needed just a bit of tlc.
Long story short, my computer guy (who built this and past systems) essentially killed it.
Many trips to Eureka, many days trying to fix long distance. Was up and down for 4 weeks or more.
Finally I had a new build done by someone else (Vista 64 dual core2 yada yada yada)
and I am still learning my way around that one.
The XP system is fixable and has life left in it, I just need to find the right person to tune it up.

Michigan For Christmas:

Sue had us doing a puzzle for her.

Dad is doing much better than I had thought.
It was below freezing many days we were there. Ice storms and snow.
It was a good trip but glad to get home.
