Spring has arrived!!!

It is an absolutely gorgeous day out---sunny and 72 degrees--quite a change from the cold temps we had this time last week. I do hope it stays this way from now on because we're all ready for warmer weather as our winter has been extremely long and cold this year. My DH is actually working in the yard today and loving every minute of it--he has cleared up some dead plants, trimmed up some bushes, and got the old lawn mower running...he wants to thatch the yard so this is a perfect day to do it.
I just got home from taking our tax info to the accountant--keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have to pay too much this year. Afterall, the government gets enough of our money and with our only income being my DH pension, we don't have alot to spare right now. Two more years and he'll be on Social Security too, which will help alot, then another year after that and I'll get SS!! God, I never thought I'd be looking forward to collecting SS!! LOL!! Yes, I do work PT at our LSS but if things don't get better there, they might not be around much longer--I sure hope that things improve because I really don't want to start a job search in this economy. We'll just have to see what happens in the next month or two.
Enough of this depressing talk--let's just concentrate on this lovely weather and the sunny days to come. My granddaughter's first birthday is this Saturday so the kids are coming in from Ohio so we can celebrate with a small family party...can't wait to see them, it's been a month since we saw the grandkids. I just wish my son and his family from Arizona could be there--it's been almost a year since I've seen them and I want to go out in the next month sometime for a visit and to celebrate my granddaughter's 4th birthday with her...it's April 10th, but I know it'll be closer to the end of the month before we can make it out there, if then. I just miss them all so much, but my son is extremely happy in his job with the Tucson P.D., so there is no chance that they'll move back home!
Well, I need to get some stuff done around the house---and excercise, yuck!! Post more later.
