Yes indeed, I surely do enjoy these times. Puts "things" into perspective for me and for this I am grateful. The meal was wonderful and the conversation inspiring as we heard of Mike's plans for his future.
The trip almost did not happen. Saturday afternoon the forecast snow storm came roaring in with heavy winds. The power went off around 8 pm. For the next few horrendous hours we tried to get the propane heaters going in the greenhouses. We had no need to use them up to this pint and so it was tough going. Of the three heating elements we have, only one would start and that was with great difficulty. It went into the small greenhouse. Since we lucked out with getting another started, as a last resort, we put our collection of 6 old coal oil lamps into the big greenhouse. We had no choice and it did help to produce a bit of heat. We ran around in the dark and wet snow trying to do something. A 1:00 am the power came back and so it was a quick outing again to start the two electric heaters. Into bed at 1:30 am for a quick sleep which did not come, and I was up again at 4 am to get ready to leave. We left at 4:45 am and into Mikes driveway at 6:45 am. We unloaded and Harry started the roast in the oven and I made coffee for us, leaving Mike to sleep in until about 8:30 am.
The rest of the day was uneventful and most welcome. Once home it was an early to bed plan. I also spoke with Willie on the phone who called to say Happy Easter. So touching base with both of my children feels good. And for me it was indeed, a very good Family time day.
Hoping that you folks also enjoyed your day and weekend. Now it is April and hope springs eternal for me for some relief to this horrible weather. Lets get on with it OK, haha! Take care
