I promise to be better

I don't know how a month went by without posting an entry, but sure enough, thats what happened!

The first week of April was busy, with a visit from Mary and from Marianne, both at the same time. Cherry Blossom festival was beautifulI, with warm sunny days, and Bert and the guests had a great time. I flew to Portland, Maine for a meeting, and flew into a big fat snow storm. 14 inches of snow in April; it was just plain wrong. Then by the time I got home, it had gotten cold here, and stayed that way for two more weeks. We got snow for Easter for goodness sakes! I was a quiet holiday, just the two of us, and the snow. by the middle of the month, I was soooo depressed, and sick of the cold.
Then, on the 19th, I drove down to Yorktown, to go to a Coast Guard meeting. When I got up the next morning, it was a beautiful spring day, and it has been pretty dang nice ever since. The drive home from Yorktwon was really nice, thru gorgeous farm land. We got out and worked in the yard that weekend, and even hit a bucket of balls at the driving range.

Work has been busy, but not crazy, and I have been in the office almost all month.

Last Friday Bert and I went down to Wilkesboro, NC, up in the mountains to go to a bluegrass festival that Bert had been hankering to see. It was pretty fun, and we got to see some of our favorite bluegrassers; two full days of music. Then we played tourist on the way back. visited Mt. Airy, home to Andy Griffith, and the 'real life' Mayberry. Cute little town, home to Aunt Bee's cafe! Man, we see the best stuff don't we?
Then we drove up thru Virginia, and went to Lynchburg, VA, home to Thomas Jefferson's other house, Poplar Forest. They said that after Jefferson was President, too many visitors came to see him, so he built this little house. the house was fabulous, and I have asked Bert to build me one just like it!

Now that it is nice again, we will be back to our usual adventuresome selves. I will be sure to keep everyone updated!
