Just thought I’d say hi
Grace & Connie have followed through and done their part here on our blog but I’ve been a slacker — so I thought I’d better jump in and participate, too! In my “other life” I write for a living (I help manage a grantwriting business) — so the last thing I feel like doing is more writing or doing anything that has anything to do with writing, but, I guess a few more words won’t hurt me!
So. It’s almost spring. Doesn’t feel like it though, does it? Doesn’t look like it either. It seems like everything that sprung up during that warm weather (now so long ago), is trying real hard to stick around and stay green through this cold, cold spell. I admire its fortitude.
Easter has come and gone and I now pride myself on practicing self-restraint through this season of chocolate bunnies, Peeps & jelly beans. (No chocolate bunnies, no jelly beans, and only one package of Peeps!)
Speaking of Peeps. Yes, I’m a Peep person. Part of the Peep-cult. But I only eat the original yellow chicks, and only around this time of year, and, oh, yes, I do like them stale, but just slightly stale I recently discovered. (I did an experiment with this last package and left the cellophane open for a day longer to let them get really stale — BIG mistake!) They just got all hard and crunchy and the middle marshmallow stuff just sort of disappeared…… OK, I’m spending way too much time talking about Peeps! Enough of that!
Back to some real writing!

Hello Cheryl
What a strange snowfall in Madison last week. They predicted 12″ but just got 6″ but still a record. I saw on radar it was heading your way but did not hear if you got snow there.
As far as peeps go they are to sugary for me and make my teeth dance! I did eat plenty of them in my younger days.
Guess what - I just had to put rear brakes on my VW again, surprise, surprise! I hope yours is holding together with no problems.
I am keeping an eye on your tour schedule and hoping for an event within a couple hundred miles from here.
Your friend, Mark

Hi Mark,
nice to hear from you!
too bad about your brakes! I had the rear ones done a few years ago, but the rest of the car seems to be holding up well—never regretted the purchase! I put alot of miles on that puppy!
Yes, I hope we make it out that way sometime soon!
meanwhile,
stay well,
Cheryl

You’re a Peep person, huh? You might just appreciate this bit of whimsy:
