Spring ???

We're thinking spring may be just around the corner here in Iowa. The surface of the driveway is visible for the first time since December first. It has been covered by ICE and snow from that time on. The air is clear and smog free, and one can step out to the deck and take a deep breath without a cough in a carload, so to speak. Who among you remembers "cough in a carload" ???

It looks like women are their own worst enemy. The first chance that I can remember for them to prove or disprove that a woman could do a better job of running the country, and they seem to be letting that chance slip by. The glass ceiling won't disappear doing it this way. It may be years and years for this opportunity to come around again.

Greetings from Des Moines!

I'm so dumdfounded that I can't think of a single funny or clever thing to say; actually, that's pretty much normal for me. Ha! I'll get back to you when- or if- I ever do!!!! See you soon. Susan

Spring is already here. It was in the 90's last week. The flowers are blooming and mowing has begun. The boys and significant others will be here Sunday for supper. The "queen" once more will sit at the head of the table. Happy Birthday early!
