It's raining, it's pouring

The weather around here is too wierd. Last Monday -Wednesday it was so cold and today we are in the 40's with 90% chance of heavy rain. They are looking for flooding in some areas and ice jams on the rivers. This is too strange. Although, not as strange as a couple of years ago when it was almost 80 for two days in January. That was bizarre!

Had a house full of people yesterday and loved it! Came home from church feeling very challenged by the lesson Bill gave. Vicki and Curt came over and we cooked brats and hotdogs on the fire in the fireplace. Peggy came in for a minute too. Then Skylar and Luke came over and the four kids sat in the blue room playing the video game. Amanda came home from work and joined them. Sure was a lot of laughing going on. It was good to hear. Boy was the blue room full. Especially when Will joined them.

Today it's back to work. The big boss is coming on Friday because our Post Office is getting some National Award or another. Something about coming in second in the Nation in something. Management knows what it's all about. We just nod our heads and smile for the camera.

My foot is feeling better after the shots. I don't have near as many problems, so am hoping that this will take care of it once and for all. I want to get back to my walking.

This next week is full of all kinds of meetings etc. There are none the rest of the month, but this week has lots. Might as well get it over with.

I made a big crock pot full of sauer kraut and kielbasa yesterday. It sure smells good. It's been cooking since yesterday afternoon on low. All the kraut is browner now and all that flavor is ready. I will chill it today and then that can be supper tonight. Of course the kids won't eat it and Will and I will probably get tired of it, but that first meal will be worth it.

Well, time to get Jake up and start back on the rollercoaster that we call life. Days like today, I wish that we were leaving for Disney World. I need a vacation!
Have a great day!
