Green...

It's been a good trip south so far. So enjoyable travelling when it's all turning that beautifully breathtaking green.....everywhere.

The browns and greys and whites have given way to their new spring duds.

And down here I enjoyed my first great thunderstorm of the 2009 season complete with super lightening bolts and a vibrant double rainbow to finish it all off....kind of like dessert after a rack of ribs supper! The smell of the fresh rain and the wind blowing the fragrance of a nearby apple tree into my starved nostrils changed my countenance from the dry coldness of a long winter to the awakening of a new and exhilarating one....at last!

It's nice to feel the +30 degree temperatures again too...for one day at least.

So, tomorrow we'll watch granddaughter at her yearly dance recital and go to brunch at a fancy hotel. The new digs here are lovely and the kids have much more room now in their new space to live. All have jobs and God has been good to them in his provision.

We're anxiously waiting to hear from son when he comes out from the bush in his tree planting expedition. It was good to hear from him last week though...just to know that even though he's out of phone range, he's safe and healthy.:-)

Ta ta for now....oh, and if anyone out there knows how we did at the Relay for Life, I'd sure like to find out.

Hi Sharon,
We raised 7452.00 dollars for "bronze" level fundraising, we were outdone by Advantage who were at silver level fundraising with 8476.00! So not too shabby at all. I believe we came in second. Our goal for next year to celebrate the teams 10 yrs is $10,000.00.

How was the dance recital??

And the job was done...and done well. Hope the rest of you weren't frozen by morning.

My hats off to all of you who stayed overnight. It's want makes the team "a team" and one to be reckoned with by the sounds of it.

We were close but with a little more concerted effort we'll make that $10,000......and more!!

I believe!:-)
