Brrrrrrrr.

Old man winter has a sense of humor. But I don't think it is funny!

Rain, snow, sleet, we've had it all! It is hard to believe they are predicting a low in the forties tonight and a high in the seventies tomorrow! Hey, but this is Texas!

Yesterday I was out running errands and I took a call from Rian. He was taking the boys sledding. When Rian was small we had a water sled/ski type device that we would use for sledding when it would snow and he and his sisters would ride on it for miles and miles around the backroads of the farms. In fact they would ride until their hands ached from the cold. They would be crying when they would seek refuge from the freezing temperatures inside the pickup truck.

I had told Rian about going sledding with George and the Boys Club on an old pickup hood! Rian had secured a hood yesterday to pull behind his truck. He had made a call and had his brother-in-law coming to meet them with his kiddos to participate in the festivities! When Rian called me it was snowing sideways in Abilene! Of course he isn't responsible enough to handle an event like this so I had to warn him to be careful. "I don't want any calls from the emergency room", I told him!

It was with a great deal of apprehension I answered his next call, but it was much to my relief when he told me the exercise was over with no injuries and no fatalities!

Whew!

Our washing machine has been on the blink since Friday. I had decided to take a look, just to be sure it wasn't something trivial! I had worked on it for about an hour today when I decided it needed someone with more expertise than I. I swept out from underneath where it resides (I don't know why this is so important to females but it is and Krl wanted it swept). I replaced all the screws, latches and trim and I told Krl to call a repairman. As I walked by with my hands full of tools and such, I snagged the lid and gave it a tug to close it. It slammed, and the washer began running without fail!

I'd rather be lucky than good!

I wonder if she will pay me the repair call minimum!

Hope your Easter was a good one!

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR promises.
