March Madness

It is nearly spring - have you heard the birds singing of late? That is always the first sign and I hear them early in the morning as I get ready for my shower. We've had lots of rain, which makes for very green hills, flowering plants and wild flowers. I am not ready to have winter over, but then I never am. I do love the spring with Easter and spring breaks and pretty colors in the shops. I was at Joanne's this evening and really enjoyed seeing all their Easter items. I, wisely, did not buy any of them. I got thread, rotary blades on 40% off (yay), pre-made piping, and a nifty cutting board that you can flip over and use as an ironing board. Now, if I could just find time to sew. Maybe this weekend? Our Growth Group ladies are meeting for lunch on Saturday and I'm helping in the 4th grade on Sunday. But, hopefully, I can get some sewing in, too. Spring is coming . . . March 20!!!

Sunday PM

Today I felt like breaking up the Sunday routine, so Ashley and I went to tea in San Clemente at the Posh Peasant. It was lovely, but lots to eat and we brought home our desserts. Ash said she liked the scones better at "Ticky Boo" in Fallbrook - we'll have to go back and check! We hit Joanne's with coupons and bought white and lime green "minky" to make pillows for Miss Ashley like the ones Nancy bought at Costco only Ashley's colors for her dorm bedding. Believe me, the ones at Costco were a steal - even with my Joanne's coupons! But, she'll love them. Then, we went grocery shopping, home, did Encore at church, then caught up with the Heltons at Islands to hear about their trip to Oregon to visit Greg. Nancy visited a LOT of quilt stores there; you go, girl! (A special shout out to Scott who is becoming quite the good "quilter husband" - others are currently in training.) Now on to sit with Dan and watch tonight's episode of Big Brother. My name is Jan and I'm addicted to reality TV!
