Finally we are getting some weather that is above 20 degrees. Last weekend it got over 40 degrees and we were all wearing spring jackets and running to the ice cream stands! Felt like a heat wave. LOL.
Today the time and temperature sign at the Bank said it was 51 degrees. So excited to actually feel like Winter may be over. I really need to move to a warmer climate! Guess that's another part of getting older. When I was in school, I loved the snow. We couldn't wait to go sledding or ice skating and stayed out in it for very long periods of time. I used to build snow tunnels in the drifts that would go half-way up the front of our house.
Now, I only really enjoy looking at the snow around Christmas because it makes the decorations look so pretty. The thing is, we hardly ever have snow at Christmas anymore. It doesn't show up until January, or we have some in October that soon melts away. I just want to be on a beach somewhere, reading a book and listening to the sound of the waves.
So now we are warming up a bit, and the snow is mostly all melted away. Birds are singing and we saw the sun today. Stepped outside to enjoy the day and stepped into mud puddles! Mud is everywhere. That's the downside of the snow melting! Things don't look very pretty outside right now. It'll probably a few weeks before we actually see some pretty greenery sprouting. But at least I can feel it coming.
My kitty seems to feel it too. She cries for us to open the drapes and pull up the blinds so she can look outside. As soon as the door opens, she runs to peek out the window. As long as we have had her, she hasn't set a fool out the door. I don't know if she has ever been outside. It's cute to see her want to see what's going on, but I do worry she'll sneak out the door one day and take off running. Maybe, we'll have to get a kitty harness and take her out sometimes.
On another note, my Computer Applications class is essentially over. I just finished all my homework and submitted my last project for this class. We take the final exam this coming Tuesday and then start right into the next class - Introduction to Management. That doesn't really sound very interesting, but maybe it will be better than it sounds!
I'm a little concerned about the final coming up because I just don't remember things as well as I used to. I'm pretty good at figuring out how to do things in the various programs that are part of Office 2013, but I don't always remember the correct terminology for things. Wish me luck!
Have to end with a picture of my youngest grandchild. He just turned one in February and loves MTC (Marion Technical College) as much as I do!!
That's all I can think of this evening. Take care and I'll talk to you again soon.
