When I get back to the computer, I’ll have several things to talk about…..the incredible wind that we’ve had the last two days, along with very chilly weather. One stand of tulips in an unprotected spot were denuded of petals.
I’ve been pondering the drawbacks to having a computerized life, especially for those who have never learned to do things from scratch to begin with. The same problem existed when they tried to teach us “New Math.” It failed because there wasn’t enough focus on the basics. I think that jazz performers have to learn Classical music to be able to depart from the “rules.”
We’re making a trip to Iowa this weekend to commune with the cows and our relatives. I’m looking forward to an unstructured visit, some shopping, good food, and the chance to beat my niece at Spite and Malice. See you Monday!

I’m sure in my ramblings in the past month I’ve mentioned that we will be hosting two brunches, one for the Red Hat Society group to which we belong, and one for our exercise group. These brunches fall just six days apart, and I’ve been working for the past ten days or so to get things ready. When I set the dates for these brunches, I forgot that I had committed to spend the weekend with two of my nieces and my Mother.
So, perhaps you can understand where I’ve been, and why my blog has gone quiet. By the end of the month I hope to have my Spring cleaning done, and then maybe I’ll have a bit more time to visit.
Meanwhile, I hope you are all having wonderful weather and have had the chance to get outside for a bit.
