Geez, time is passing too quickly! In just four weeks my little girl will graduate from college with a master's degree in Music Education! It seems like she was just born last week! To make matters worse, in just five weeks my baby girl will graduate from college with a bachelor's degree in Social Work. Surely she was just born yesterday?!
I can remember each of their birthdays in every minute detail. What a joy it was to hold them and marvel at the little miracles in my arms.
My precious little Courtney, sweet, happy, independent and loving! My darling little Erica, creative, joyful, independent and loving! God has surely blessed me with these two beautiful, intelligent and Godly daughters. I'm not sure what I ever did to deserve them but thank you Lord for entrusting these angels to me for their time on earth.
Girls, if you're reading this, I love you so very much and I'm proud of you more than words can tell.

Spring
Boing!!
The calendar says it's spring but the wind and temperature says differently! Guess I don't like the "inbetween" seasons! I would rather it be snowing and cold like Christmastime or I want to throw my windows open and feel the warm breeze flutter through the curtains. The only inbetween time I like is Fall....ah, sweater weather! But you can keep summer! I hate the hot sticky humid weather.
So, I'll just wait for warmer day and in the meantime light a fire in the fireplace!

Aahhh, March Madness
I love basketball tourney time! I tend to pull for the underdog unless they're playing Western or U of L! Just watched San Diego win over UConn and loved it! That means the Western Hilltoppers will be playing San Diego on Sunday! Go Tops!!
Tonight U of L is going up against Boise State. I sure hope I can stay up late enough to see the entire game but thank goodness for TiVo if I can't.
One pet peeve I have though is the stupid TV stations and sports channels listing Western as "W. Kentucky" If they can't call us Western or WKU they should at least list us as "Western Ky" I've half a mind to email ESPN and set them straight. Think they'll listen to me?

Rain
I love the sound of rain beating down on the roof and hitting the windows.
I like mornings when there is a slow steady pulse of rain falling and lulling me back to sleep or calling me to curl up with a book and my favorite quilt.
I absolutely love thunder storms! When I was younger I used to sit on the front steps with my Dad and watch the "heat lightning" in the summer. I still like to watch the storms and sometimes find myself on my covered deck watching the lightning streak across the sky as I count out loud until the thunder comes.
Today was one of those days when the gentle falling of the rain lured me to sleep in my chair and reminded me just how much the simple things mean in life.
Dad, if you're reading this, I miss our times together.

St. Patrick's Day ramblings
They say if the world slowed down or stopped spinning we would all be flung into space. If that is true then I'm stuck like glue to this rock called earth. At the risk of giving away my age let me put it this way. My world has been moving like a 33rpm album playing at 78rpms. And yes, before you ask, I have owned albums that play at both 33 and 78!
In the past month and a half I have been to Bowling Green, Kentucky (twice); Bowling Green, Ohio (twice); Louisville, Kentucky, Waddy/Peytona, Kentucky, Frankfort, Kentucky, Wilmore, Kentucky (eight times) and Ft. Worth, Texas! I drove every trip! To be honest I love to drive and my friends will tell you I even have control issues when it comes to driving. But holy cow! That's a lot of driving in a short period of time. Of course it did put more miles on the car which helps me to reach 100,000 miles sooner. After all, the sooner I reach that magic number the sooner I will get a new automobile! Only 6,000 more miles to go! I can't wait to get my new red Toyota Highlander!
Anyway, all this to say, I'm pooped! To make matters worse, I'm getting the old lady syndrome of not being able to sleep late. No matter how tired I am or how late I go to bed I don't seem to be able to sleep past 7am. I also find myself being cold all the time. I used to not wear a coat and used to be hot all the time. Now, I can't seem to keep warm and I almost always wear a coat or jacket when I leave the house. I used to think that only "old" people had these problems. Now I have them!! And I'm not old! I realize of course that's all in the eyes of the beholder and that "old age" is a very relative thing. After all, 60 is looking younger and younger.
Well, that's enough blarney for today!
