Easter, Spring Break & April Fool

It's been a while since I've posted.  Sorry.  There has been a lot going on.

The weather has been crazy (note the snow on the 2nd day of Spring.)

We decided that we needed to head South for Spring Break, so at 5:30 last Thursday morning, we got on the road to drive down to NC.  We arrived at the home of JP's sister about 8 1/2 hours later.  Conveniently, JP's nephew & wife live down the street, and another of JP's sisters arrived the following day with her hubby.  We had a fun time enjoying the sunshine and blooming flowers.  I had to start my allergy medicine!

The girls had a blast sight seeing and playing silly games with their cousins.

 

We had to come home on Sunday, but we were unpacked and ready to watch "Jesus Christ Superstar, Live" on TV by that evening.

We woke to 2 inches of snow outside.

 

The weather has remained weird.  Yesterday it rained so hard that the schools let out early due to flooding.  Last night the wind blew so hard that the cover blew off our cistern.  Today it has been blowing snow again.

Sheesh!  It's April, I mean, C'mon!

Despite the weird weather, JP and my dad took a road trip to Columbus today.  JP found this grandfather clock listed on line for half price.  We have talked about getting one since we got married, so it is a culmination of many Anniversary gifts that we never got each other:  1st year (clocks), 17th year (furniture), 21st year (brass), 24th year (musical instruments), and coming up this summer - 27th year (sculptures.)

 

I love it!
