I just realized last night that we had not renewed our drivers
licenses and mine was due this month and Ted's last month.
This will be our priority this morning.

Yesterday was lovely. I forced myself out in the rain to go
to our book club and we had a lively discussion. I wished our
selections were meatier. I didn't like either of the books
that were selected but it is nice meeting new people.

The sun came out and I went to the hardware store a few blocks
down the street and found three beautiful trailing geraniums
in hanging baskets, gerbera daisies and more garden soil.
I also got a tidbit of information. The girl that helped me
load the car had taken a class and told me that gerbera daisies and geraniums were of the same family.

I got home with my loot and had a fun time getting it all
out. Henry is coming next week to tend to the lawn. This
3.2 inch rain has made him popular.

We are taking the girls plus one friend each, to the circus
next Saturday. We are both looking forward to it. I think
one of the problems with the elderly is that we are not with
young children enough. I feel blessed that my children both
married late and there are still young ones around to keep
us feeling the fiestiness of youth.

This is such a trying time in our lives but I am hoping that
this spring which is bursting with promise and renewal will
bring hope and healing to our all our lives.
