Can Spring be too far away?

My Alpha Phi Omega (Upsilon Chapter) fraternity brothers have set a date for all of us to gather and remember those who have passed, and to celebrate those of us who remain. The Saturday after Easter we'll gather at Saz's in Milwaukee, starting at about 5:00 PM or so. I seem to remember our evenings started a bit later than that, but that's okay. It will be good to see them.

Last week, I drove to Milwaukee and picked up my mother-in-law, and brought her back here to Tennessee. Its been quite cold and snowy in Milwaukee this winter, and the wife and I were getting a bit concerned that she couldn't get out and may be needed to see the sun. Okay, its not Florida, but it does stay pretty much above freezing, and she can get out for a walk if she's so inclined. Yesterday, she and my wife spent the day making home-made ravioli, stuffed with chicken, pork, beef tenderloin, mortadella, three different kinds of cheeses, Parmesan, Romano and Fontina, and also some chopped spinach and parsley, and seasoned with nutmeg, and salt & pepper. Yum!! We'll take her back to Milwaukee in another couple weeks, in time for all of us to celebrate Easter with her other daughter and son-in-law.

The daffodils and tulip bulbs I planted have poked their little green shoots through the ground, and each day I check to see if a blossom might be forming. I have seen a lot of daffodils in bloom on south-facing hills lately. Hopefully our will bloom in the next few days. When that happens, I'll post a couple pictures.
