It was a beautiful day here in New Hampshire. Our thermometer rose to 50 degrees (F) and the sun shone brightly. The snow melted, the dogs played and the husband enjoyed spending a little time in the driveway moving snow from the edges to melt on the pavement.
Since it was St. Patrick’s Day I put a corned beef and cabbage meal into the crock pot to slowly cook all day. Oh my, it smells good!
Meanwhile, I caught up with my other work, clearing the clutter (we are terrible clutter-a-holics. Why is this?), and doing laundry too. I was actually quite productive today. It felt good to keep busy.
My sister called me when she could to let me know how things were going for my Dad. Sadly, it’s not good. I wish I could be there. At this point it doesn’t matter too much to him, but I wish I could be there for my mother and sister.
Ah, life.
How is Jack doing after his stroke?
It’s good to keep busy, I know it’s a hard time. 🙁
Busy is good, and no matter what, you dad was happy you were there for a visit and knows that you love him.
Hi Maribeth, sorry I haven’t been blogging in a bit (I’m going to start again) I didn’t know your father was sick. I will keep him and you in my prayers. Please keep us posted.
xxo Maribeth
It’s beautiful here today — but I still don’t feel REALLY up to being out and doing anything. I have the windows open though and am enjoying some fresh air.
I know how you feel about wanting to be in two places at once. As a matter of fact, I’m in that boat myself right now. I guess we all do the best we can…
Thinking about you and your family while your dad is so sick. Hugs to you!
Oh, I’m jealous. We only have about 36 F over here. That’s the difference between our Stockholm’s weather and different parts of US I’ve noticed before: you might get more snow than we, but our winter season is longer.
Do you think that you’ll get any more snow now? We’re not sure until the beginning of May…
