Fake Spring

The sun was mostly shining during my work from home Monday so it felt like spring with the last of the snow in the yard melting. 

After work, I did a quick mile walk to the end of the street to see the sun  – and admit I did not have a shot of all the planets aligned this weekend. So bummed that didn't work out.

But still, I saw some puddle reflections that looked like spring is on its way. I am forever the optimist! 

P.S. No need to mention the forecasted snow by midweek! Not a good sign for Ash Wednesday commute, church service, and choir. Keep thinking good thoughts upward this week!

No Need To Shout BINGO

I should blame myself fror telling eveyone to attend the Sunday BINGO at Assumption. Because we ended up with hundreds of players and that reduced my chance of winning. I mean to the point I didn't win anything.

But on a positive note, I'm sure the 8th-grade class recipients got a lot out of it.

It was fun to see usual BINGO friends and even my sister-in-law today. But we all unfortunately came away with empty pockets and hopes we can yell BINGO at the top of our lungs the next time – especially since the big jackpot will be more than $4,000+ and the 50/50 should be $1,000. 

I hate to tell you to join us since it reduces my chances, but it's so nice to support the cause.

Look at this full gymnasium! Crazy!

So when I was just 3 spots away from the big coverall jackpot, it was a tough pill to swallow. But guess what? No one won the big one so it's all available again in two weeks.

Obviously, that was my Sunday excitement. Now we'll watch the Oscars and pretend we know what they're talking about when WICKED is the only movie I've seen. Good luck, winners! 

Hello, March and Madness

New month means a flip of the calendar and new (but familiar) faces! Love seeing the two older boys with their special ladies!

March also means it's pretty much March Madness for every sport. 

Last night I was thrilled to see my friend's daughter earn her way to state in two gymnastics events – the bars and the beam. She did awesome despite having a really, really sore foot! Hope it heals so she can rock it at state next weekend – which happens to be in Wisconsin Rapids. There's an advantage to living in the center of the state sometimes!

And tonight March madness was in high gear as our Lady Royals dominated Almond-Bancroft to earn the regional championship! Way to go, Lady Royals! Now the toughest game of the season comes Thursday when we play Pacelli, who we just haven't managed to beat. It will be a good game!

Other than that, it's been a quiet weekend. The mild spring temps of earlier this week have now dipped below freezing. So even though it was sunny out, do we say March came in like a Lion? Or a Lamb?

Since the Royals' mascot is a lion, let's go with that!
