Spring or Winter?????

Will winter never give it up and fade away this year? The weather people aren't predicting another spring-snow-storm like we had a week or so ago, but they DID "give" us more winter temperatures today...and it's supposed to be freezing tonight. I just stuck my head out the door a few minutes ago to talk with a friend, and we were both freezing ...with the wind blowing hard. I like winter - in WINTER. Now, it's time for winter to close the door and let Spring in! My husband just settled into the recliner with hot coffee and I just came back to the computer with hot chocolate...BUT, we don't have the fire going (yet, anyway!). :) I hope the tulips make it through the night - husband John says since they survived the last snow and ice storm that they'll probably make it. Hope so.

We had our special Easter-Cantata music in our evening service last night...with coffee-and-cookies after. The choir did a great job - the songs were beautiful and had great messages. They've been practicing hard and it showed. Heard lots of nice comments about it. Our church is small but small churches can still have great voices. :)

My President "irked" me again this week - with his "apologizing-for-America" speech. Granted, he did also say the Europeans were a "bit" anti-American, and that they needed to change that. However, though I well know America's faults, it seemed a bit of a slap-in-the-face to the country to have our President standing up in Europe saying how bad we are. It seemed to me our President is out to win as much of Europe's favor as possible ... but not always for good reasons. Again, I say, I do NOT wish to have our country under European laws ... but this administration sure seems to be racing towards just that. We'll see.............I'm beginning to get REAL interested in all these "tea parties" that are popping up everywhere............
