Month-End Report

Good thing most of us don't put any stock in those old wives' tales that convince us if March comes in like a lamb, it'll go out like a lion. I'll take this lion weather any time! Maybe it's just a "cub."

I can't believe another month has gone by. It started out on a relaxing note, coming off a scrap camp weekend with spring-like temps in the 40s. And ended on a sort of relaxing note, coming off a long day at work but very spring-like temps around 70!

In between all that, we had a spelling contest for Carter, a trip to Milwaukee for hoops action for Mommy and Daddy, a much bigger Spring Break trip for Carter, attempts (failed attempts) to get 10,000 steps daily for Lent, a couple of Friday fish fries, and several requests for a cell phone.

What a full month! And I didn't even mention it was "fill out your Census form" month and Mint Oreo Blizzard month. Got both of those taken care of today. Don't want a start a new month with a list of things to do, you know!

Here's another new one for March -- Carter is camping! Who would have thought? They set up at a campground tonight near the Historic Triangle -- Jamestown, Williamsburg & Yorktown. Tomorrow they'll see all that.

Today they saw Mount Vernon and Carter said he really enjoyed seeing George Washington's home and museum. Some highlights were seeing an American flag from 1812 -- which he could not take a picture of -- and Washington's dentures -- which Carter tells me were not made of wood.

I wonder what other myths those history teachers of ours were passing along. Next thing you know, someone will say the Easter Bunny isn't real!

Oh well, I won't worry about that until next month!
