What A Day!!

Today we were blessed with a 60 degree day in the middle of February!! It's just so unusual that after school every last neighborhood kid was outside enjoying the warmness. It was so nice! I have been busy subbing lately, but enjoyed a day at home with Troy today. We went to Coffee Break this morning and then brought Scott lunch at the Seminary. Tonight Kamryn and I went over to Calvin to take a picture of her artwork that is on display in the Fine Arts Center. She was honored this week when her art teacher told her that from this regional display it was one of 15 pieces chosen to go on to "state." She's pretty excited!
Since it was so warm, I had the idea that I wanted BBQed hamburgers! Scott laughed at me, but everyone thought it was a pretty great idea after tasting a bit of summer at dinnertime! (You have to realize 2 days ago this deck was covered with snow!!)
This is Kam's artwork that's hanging up at Calvin. She did it with chalk. I think she did a neat job with the colors! She called it "Sierra Sunset".

This isn't the best picture, but we finished Troy's fleece blanket tonight. Katie and Kamryn finished Kam's the other day. Kamryn chose White Sox fleece and Troy chose the Cubs.

Hey Kam we're really proud of you ! Your Sierra Sunset is beautiful, the colors really fit. I liked the blankets that you and Troy picked out to make. Bet that was fun. Miss you folks, and now that the weather made it feel like summer is coming, we'll really miss all of you. Sure enjoyed last summer with all of you. Ruth K.

Hi everyone! Glad you got to enjoy some warm weather! It's probably warmer in MI than in CA right now. We went to the Farm Show today and it was 50 and a little rainy. Love the White Sox blanket... my husband would be so proud!
