Miss the expo conversations
As we progress through this late winter early spring, it is getting a bit odd, not having the annual home and business expo. The home show began way back in 1979 and has been a staple of our area since that year.

Some places you never forget
My wife and I and two of our good friends took a couple of days off last week and headed south. We went to a town about an hour and half from Cancun that we have been to before. The weather was incredible, mid 80’s and barely a cloud every day. It was so nice to get away from the deep freeze we have experienced this winter. We came home on Saturday afternoon and as soon as we touched down, our phones buzzed like crazy from friends and family texting us. Apparently we got out of Mexico just in time. The road we took back to the airport had fire ravaged cars littering the highway. The closest gas station to our place was set ablaze because the Mexican government had taken out the head of one of the largest cartels in all of Mexico. The bulk of chaos seemed to be in the PuertoVallarta area which is on the other side of Mexico from where we were. Nonetheless we were so grateful to make it home and sleep in our own bed safe and sound.

This long winter is taking a toll
What a relief it was to finally see the sun and have above zero temperatures this week. This “deep freeze” is starting to mess with all of our attitudes and dressing in six layers is getting old. Even our dog would just look at us when we asked him to go for a walk. Only 43 more days until spring. It can’t come fast enough.
