Random Thoughts for a new March

Posted by Jim on

Well, that kid of mine made it safe and sound to Salt Lake City so Dad can actually relax now and get on with life.  I’m gonna miss that kid hanging around my house, eating my food and drinking all of my coffee but I know she will be alright.

We got to travel thru some morning snow flurries on the way to work this morning.  It was snowing because it was too cold to rain.  That’s typical for this time of year in central Minnesota.  We are once again back to “it’s cold-no it’s hot-no it’s cold-not it’s hot again” weather.  “In like a lion and out like a lamb”.  That’s March in central Minnesota but don’t count out “In like a lion and out like a lion as well”.  It stopped snowing around 7:00 AM (0700) anywho.

Yanno, I just realized that I left home this morning without my lunch.  It’s a nice one too.  I made a container with some smashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and roast beef slices.  It’s a good thing I left it in the fridge to keep it nice and chilled.  I guess that means sandwich day today.  Ugh!

I have my eye on a new camera lens but I tend to wonder if I’m being too frugal because I’m concerned with its cost.  My oldest said I was being cheap.  True but I remember eating soup every day and being grateful that we had it.

OK, time to get after some work this morning.

  2. #1 I am so sorry your daughter has moved away that must be sad for you. Time will settle you, hang in there. #2 we had snow here in Vancouver yesterday morning, kinda like where you are. Louise

  5. Aw haha. I actually need something more solid than soup (guilty face). I don’t know, have you tried photography? It can be fun, if you enjoy it, I think you should put a more-than-cheap camera on your mind.

  6. I think you Minnesotians sent us your “it’s cold-no it’s hot-no it’s cold-not it’s hot again” weather minus the snow. Forecasters keep forecasting snow but thank goodness at least where I am we’ve only had a smidge.
