Valentine's Day is only an excuse to peek out at the world around us to see if it's worth going out and just stay in and hibernate. I can't wait until I don't have to go outside with a jacket on. The Monday after the holiday season came too fast and I wasn't ready to go back to the regularly scheduled routine. Alas, here I am. It all came and went much too quickly this year . . . and every year. Have a wonderful 2010! <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><i>(MD) Thank you! I'm glad to see you dropping by. Hope 2010 is wonderful for you and yours as well.</i></FONT> The month of January seems to last forever because of the bleakness.

At least you don't have to shovel rain, but it does make mud. Our snow is prettier than mud. Poor sister S. I know she thought she didn't have school until the 5th. I hope she got her book report done. Regarding the dark clothing, maybe the State should pass a law requiring kids to wear reflective clothing in the dark winter months. We've got laws controlling everything else...I felt like a criminal talking on my hand held cell phone while driving in rural NE Oregon. Cousin A. enjoyed staying with you and being a welcomed part of your family over Christmas break. I'm betting he had a tear or two in his eye when he said goodbye to Michael and Michael's Mommy at the train station today. This is the worst time of year, dismal.

I am not a fan of Valentines Day but I guess it is something. There is really no break in site. Why can't I get a spring break like the kids. I need it too. One early morning a few weeks ago obscured by oncoming lights on a narrow country road I hit a tree limb with my rear view mirror and broke it. At least it wasn't some morose looking teenagers. <FONT COLOR=#D0D0FF><I>(MD) Makes you wonder how hard the kids are going to try to be obscure thirty years from now. </i></FONT> This is a rough stretch.
