It appears the groundhog was right after all. We are definitely trudging through some more winter weather and looking forward to Spring. We've had plenty of rain, in addition to colder temps, so I am especially looking forward to the blooms that will appear in my garden. I am not enjoying, however, all the wet, muddy little footprints all over my house from my little menagerie of malti-poos.
Last weekend was a lot of fun for my family. Our friend, Catherine, had her ninetieth birthday and celebrated it with an openhouse with family and friends. We have been friends with this family our entire lives, as we are all from a little town in Illinois called Argenta, population 1000, last I heard. It was so good to see her enjoy many friends and family who made the trip from our home state, as well as all her friends and family here in Kentucky. Her husband, Walt, who passed away in 2004, was directly responsible for getting my family involved in our first Kentucky church. My little country church today, reminds me so much of that little church out past the Bourbon Drive-In. One of the best memories I have of that time is when Catherine noticed, after we all got settled into our pew, that she had inadvertently wore different colored pumps, rather high-heeled shoes, on her feet. She and my mom giggled uncontrollably the entire service, as they continued to glance down at the navy and black pair of shoes. Catherine can still make us giggle today when she reminisces about things from her past.
I also had a wonderful time yesterday taking Dustin and his girlfriend to the movie. I told him at Christmas time that when we could, we'd go see The Muppets. He enjoyed them when they were a TV program back in the early eighties. I'll never forget how he would run to get his little plastic saxaphone when he was told it was about to come on. He would snuggle into the corner of the sofa and play the intro along with the rest of the muppet band. We really enjoyed the movie and I, especially enjoyed the memories it brought back, as well as meeting his girlfriend.
We are still having a heck of a time getting used to life without Roy. Riff is having a difficult time learning to play with Pudge. He was so used to pulling Roy around by his tail and always starting up something with him....he just isn't quite sure he wants to start something up with Pudge, who is about twice his size, it seems. I'm convinced that as the weather warms up, they'll warm up to each other and be running circles around the yard and each other.
I've always enjoyed Bible Studies, especially those specifically for women. I'm really looking forward to a friend at church introducing a Beth Moore study in the coming weeks.
Today looks to be a bit gloomy, but I know sunnier days are on the horizon. I hope you are having a great day. Stay safe, luv, Susan
