Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires...courage.

Sunny and Warm

Today, we have a projected high of 51 degrees. However, my thermometer already shows that we are nearing 60 degrees here. I have actually opened many of our windows and turned the heat off, to take advantage of the comfortable breezes and sunshine. The cats are certainly enjoying themselves; sitting on the windowsills and watching whatever is outside. I did hear some birds singing this morning...There is still snow on the ground but much of it has melted. So far, the 'cave' the kids built with Paw-Paw is still standing. I hope it makes it 'til Friday so Karl can see it! We have not gone outside, though, to enjoy the weather. Hailey is sick and the boys are still recovering. I know cold weather does not cause illness, germs do, but I don't think they have the energy today. It's too bad, because it's a beautiful day. Maybe we could just go sit on the deck....We still have some reading to do, maybe we'll go outdoors for that.

Hailey is nearing the end of her ice skating lessons. Her last class is tomorrow (she probably won't go as she has a fever) and next Tuesday morning is her competition. The whole family is planning to attend; she's excited that Daddy will get to see her skate. And of course about the medal she will receive for her participation. She's had a lot of fun and done a great job. We're proud of her.

That's all for now. I need to go spend some time with the kids. More schooling to do...
