March Think Spring!

I know that on facebook we are all asking for S-P-R-I-N-G! It has been a long winter, gosh yes! February was not all that productive. I had my birthday and it has been working on taxes. My husband is laid off and he has helped so much. The basement was cleaned, the downstairs bedroom decorated, we got twin beds and fixed up the second bedroom. The third bedroom we will make into a part of our past. It will be the Red White and Blue room. It will represent 20 years of being in the United States Navy. Who says we can't preserve the past? The past of good times, bad times, going to Iran for battle, Desert Storm, and then there are many deployments that have great pictures. Like when the volcano errupted in the Philipeans, the San Fransico earth quake, the Riots in Los Angles. Then we have plaques that are beautiful. The Navy Wife plaque that is made of white Marble, the Home Coming pictures! Those were when I thought I was fat and now to compare those with today..what a sad tale to tell! I had just had Paul 4 months prior and my husband came home to see his son for the first time instead of through pictures! Those are precious memories to be granted a room.

As I think about the first part of this posting, I think, February has been productive even if it wasn't in scrapbooking! March should be a whole lot better! I am going on retreat NEXT WEEKEND! I will be gone for FOUR DAYS! I think I will have to clean alot of stuff after walking through the mud! So to get to the smells of S-P-R-I-N-G we have to smell the mud of the earth and wipe our feet before we can smell the sweet aroma of grass!
