Back from visiting the farm for a few days and seeing family. It feels great to be out in the wilds and in the wide open spaces. We had great weather and it was actually warm so it felt even better. 'Mom' at 101 years of age is doing fabulously and I encouraged her to get her hair permed again as it is white but short and straight. She looks (and feels) so much better when it is curled but she heard from someone that it is hard on your hair! We told her we didn't think a few perms would hurt at her age! She smiled and said ok.
I went to a funeral today for a friend's father-in-law. He was a very good man and a believer. It showed by the number of people who attended. If you have to go to a funeral it is so much better to go to one for a believer in Christ. It is more a celebration, although of course, there are tears and sadness but the view is always of eternity and a time when we will all be reunited. Not so with those who don't believe. Anyway, it was a time of good fellowship with others. I went by myself but met many who I knew and was able to sit with friends. It's a small world in the Christian community!
I am slowly getting back into things again after being away for so much time. Our new granddaughter is doing fine and has even taken her family away to the states for school break. There will be many stories to hear about the accomodations and the fun they all had. I can hardly wait.
We are gearing up for the Easter Musical production again March 27-31. Hubby is growing his beard and getting ready to play one of the Pharisees again. He is hoping there are not as many lines this year to memorize. We'll soon see.
Well, that's it for today. Not much of anything but life still is going on. Looking forward to going back to work again even though it is only for a few days a week. Also, the sun is staying up longer each day so Spring is coming. March came in like a lamb - so we know what it will go out like - but hopefully snow won't stay until the end of May this year.
Take care everyone - its a crazy life out there.

I'm glad to see you back posting blogs. I love your line, "Take care everyone - it's a crazy life out there." It reminds me that yes, there are dangers out there and sad things out there but the word "crazy" also makes me think that it is foolish and unpredictable which isn't all bad. Life might be pretty boring if there were no dips and turns, no curves. It means that once in awhile we get to experience a serendipity, a wondrous unexpected moment. I also think about the expression, "He is crazy about her" and that tells me that I can be wildly, passionately interested in life. The word crazy can also mean something absurd. The dictionary gives the example, of "the monument leaned at a crazy angle". Somehow that image appeals to me! The leaning tower of Pisa has caused many a person to stop, look and smile in wonderment. Presently, my life seem bizarrely out of control - a little crazy, but then it is that craziness that caused me to pray alot last night - and that isn't so bad either!
