OK, I am feeling pretty guilty for not posting very frequently. I am always ragging on my European kids to post, and I am flaking big time! Spring is such a busy time!! It used to be that I was driving home from work to the softball field to coach my girls. I would leave work at 4:30 and be at practice by 5:00. After a couple of hours we would wrap it up and head home to homework and dinner, then thankfully....bed! I just remember running on empty!
Well, I retired from work, and all my girls are done with softball, so I should be kickin' it and relaxing, right? Doesn't seem to work that way. Now my full time job is Rotary. Spring time is hugely busy with our club fundraiser, instructing at assembly, preparing for conference, and also attending the International Convention (in New Orleans this year). Oh! I forgot to mention RYLA camp. This year, the conference and RYLA actually overlap by one day!
So, I have been busy collecting info from all of our 54 clubs for the remembrance ceremony on Sunday of the conference (same day RYLA starts), while ordering supplies, and working on all the tasks necessary to pull off another successful Camp RYLA. Of course the weekly club newsletter still has to be out by Wednesday of each week.
Oh yeah, I mentioned it is spring! Time to get the lawn rehabilitated, de-thatched, fertilized, edged and mowed. Get the sprinklers turned back on and scheduled, clean out the flowerbeds, and prepare them for our annual planting of panzies, petunias, etc. Of course I had to fit all this in between trips to Shell Beach, Las Vegas, and New Orleans (next week).
So, things are looking nice around here, and I am on top of the Rotary stuff. However, I am looking forward to mid June when I will be done with my spring duties, and perhaps can devote a little more time to fence repair, barn and house painting, Oh yeah, I guess I am also looking forward to the return of Margeaux from Belgique! July 3rd is coming fast!! Of course, by that time it will be fire season and I will probably be off somewhere, sleeping on the ground and working 16 hours a day. Actually, that would be good to re-charge the bank account!
That's All!

I know what you mean about Spring...nature isn´t the only one who´s coming out of a winter stupor, right? It's just so busy this time of year. I feel the same as you do. Just too much and not any more time than usual.
