Whats Wrong With People

Sorry Folks, gonna vent here.

Whats wrong with people?

People take, take, take from you and when you need them to help you they turn the other cheek. Pretend like you don't exist or have been nothing more than a nuisance in their lives.
People decide they no longer want to be part of this world but before they leave they take innocent people with them. Even worse people take out their own family. That makes no sense to me whatsoever.
People never seem to learn from their mistakes. They make the same mistake over and over again and ultimately kill somebody and ruin many lives instead of taking the appropriate action.

Finally, a little nice weather!

Yesterday was the first weekday I have taken off since moving to St. Louis and I could not have planned a better day for it. 78 degrees, an almost couldless sky, a baseball game, sitting in the stands having a beer (sadly it was an AB product) watching the Brewers come from behind and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat thanks to a big time bomb from the Prince. All in all as close to a perfect day as I could have imagined. I can't even complain that it is raining (again) today, yesterday was THAT good!

Writing and creativity

Putting your creative thoughts down on paper is a magical thing, something most of us have been doing in one capacity or another for a lot of our lives. Certainly we have all read many things in our lives, this blog being the most recent incarnation of creativity.

In that vein, I was wondering if any of us had written items they have created they would want to share with the rest of us. I know I write regularly, though it may not be everyone’s cup o’ tea and it is certainly too large to share in a blog, but I could excerpt it in small pieces if there was an interest. Since I have no artistic ability, I guess writing is my meager way of creating some weak art form.

Also, I am fairly certain that Kim journals still. I did, but have gotten away from it and want to get back into it, does anyone else here?

Spring is in the Air "Finally" (I hope)

Well, it took until April 6th, but we finally hit 60 degrees. Yesterday and today have been the nicest so far. Was actually able to take the girls for a walk yesterday and will go again today when Brenna gets home from school. Spring is such a nice time of year. The weather is getting warmer, the leaves start to get leaves, the flowers start to bloom, you begin preparation for gardens (well, Scott does that), I just reep the rewards. Around here it also means snow is melting, creating lots of mud and puddles, wet grass and quite a bit of mess, but it does clear to brighter days. It is also the start of spring sports for the kids. Brenna starts softball and Ava and I start our morning walks, once it hits 60 in the mornings, probably not for awhile yet, but there is always hope. It also means school is winding down for yet another year for the kids and you start thinking about summer vacations, opening you windows, enjoying the beautiful weather, hoping you don't need your air conditioner too much this summer. Last year we only needed ours 3 days maybe even 2. I know that is not the same for Heather and Brent, who need it everyday and then some in Georgia. Virginia was the same. HOT, HOT, HOT.

What does spring mean to everyone else? That's a start for me.
