I'm home from my 2-week visit at my daughter's in northern Illinois. We had had 6 inches of heavy wet snow up there the other day, but guess what? Not a single flake of snow in Indiana! I made it back in 3 1/2 hours again. Having the IPASS transponder in the car to breeze by the toll booths makes a huge difference in safety and time. It wasn't the most expensive Christmas gift I got, but it sure is the most convenient!
It was mostly sunny and in the mid-50s here today. I could see sandhill cranes migrating northward overhead and can hear robins in the neighborhood. Some of my Facebook friends have posted pictures of flowers in bloom. We haven't had much of a winter, for which I am grateful. I enjoyed looking at the beautiful snow in Illinois but that was all I needed! Now, we are entering thunderstorm/tornado season. I'll take it over snow, any day!
Had a visit from my next door neighbor this afternoon. This is the mother of the boy that is my grandson's "best friend in the whole world" Jack. She saw that I was home and came over to tell me that her father, Jack's grandpa who drove the red truck, was killed this weekend in a highway wreck south of here. This poor family! Jack's father is incarcerated. His mother struggles to support him and his sister (and herself), and the grandmother (wife of the man who was just killed) is at their house every day doing the before-or-after-school babysitting while Mom works. I just feel so bad for all of them...
My former stepson's major cancer surgery is scheduled for Friday. Prayers, please. Eric needs a miracle!
