Almost Over

It has snowed twice in March now, so hopefully winter can be done now.  The first week when it snowed, some stuck overnight, the second week we just had brief flurries.  The last week of February the oldest farmer celebrated his 93rd birthday, while his little brother celebrated his 91st.

The three siblings.

We have been doing a lot of babysitting of our two grandboys lately.  We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can let them play outside more.  D#2 has had medical problems, so we have been watching the fifth Judge (of Israel) almost daily.  He's a fun little guy who eats almost constantly.  He eats more than any of his cousins, and knows where we stash all of our goodies!  He has also discovered the toilet paper roll and the fun things you can do with TP!

Last night we drove down to C-U to attend nephew Ned's recital in Smith Memorial Hall.  He is getting close to the end of his time at U of I, and didn't know if we would make it down again.  His skills, hard work, and God given talent continue to impress us!  Thanks to Scott, one of his pieces can be viewed here. It was a last minute decision to go, but it was a nice respite for us, and it was good to see two of his brothers (and wives) and some of our C-U friends again also.

The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
