One of Those Weeks & Just Stuff

Good morning everyone,
   The last cold spell over this past weekend that gave us 3 mornings of hard freezes-low 20's F just got to me this time. It seems impossible to get the spring seeds and plants in the ground this month. I am glad I did not plant the onion sets or they would have been ruined during the hard freezes. We are usually getting blooms on the pea plants and eating lots of fresh salad-nothing even sprouting and with all of these freezes or frost I have not planted the peas.
   On the positive note we seem to be getting one maybe two days of warm 70s that reminds us that this is April and this is suppose to be Spring.
   I have not had the worst of it though as many are still getting snow as I type.  Usually the weather is no big deal to me but this last freeze just got to me, and we are still waking up to just barely at the freeze mark.  I am not sure if any of my seeds will sprout in my mini bottle greenhouses, but I do have one full of cabbage sprouts.
  OK enough complaining. The weather is nothing we can change to our liking.

   Sunday I received a phone call from Wonders of Wildlife-the aquarium we visited. He said as he was reading what I had wrote he just needed to call me, and I thanked him for that.  He told me he was so sorry and that he would be re training the staff-as they do have a plan in place. She should have sat us down and then gotten my husband a scooter or a wheel chair. I also had written that the first staff person never should have told us to use the exit doors as those were not for this situation-they led you outdoors for a fire emergency-no steps etc to walk down.  He was a good listener and thanked me several times for letting them know what happened. I also mentioned that we paid for both sides of the museum (which is expensive) but was not able to go back and tour the rest of it so could we be credited back for that. He offered a way for us to get free tickets to see the rest.  I also asked him if it was true that there was no elevator from top to bottom and he said yes-but depending on where in the aquarium a person is located and needing help-they had plans in place for getting you back to the main floor.  I definately felt better that I got a call back, and he sounded very sincere about re educating the staff.

   The second moller that I had pulled has been much slower in getting healed. It finally is feeling better today and I no longer have that gaging feeling from the empty space of those two teeth-thought that was weird too. In a couple weeks I will get a crown on the fractured bottom tooth. and hopefully no more dental woes this year. I did splurge-at least for me the expense was a splurge-and bought a quality water pik. My gums have not been good for a couple years now and after doing allot of reading online this sounds like a good thing. It is probably something I should have looked into much sooner.

   Somehow this month I got some dates mixed up, I think it was because I was not feeling good. Next week we have two couples from Wisconsin coming down for a long weekend visit. Hoping the weather will finally be nice by then. They love to golf and weather permitting we all love to grill outdoors-so looking forward to their visit.

  My fabric journal project has been on my mind but just have not had the chance to work on it. This afternoon and evening I am hoping to get my March pages finished.

  I wanted to mention that last weekend when winter was back I turned it into a movie event with the Twilight saga. I really enjoyed all the movies much better the second time around-I think Edward "grew" on me a bit more-he was just so different than what I imagined when I was reading the books. Then first part of this week I went through all the discs and watched all the extras and special features. There were even music videos. I really really enjoyed how they made the wolves and all of the other special features. After seeing all of those I am ready to soon watch the movies again from a different perspective. One thing that was cool too-several clips with the author. So I got more insight from that and also she wanted to be in the audience for Bella's wedding so I will look for her next time I watch the movies.  I am glad that I waited for this latest Twilight saga set. It is presented really nice too in book form. If you are a diehard Twilight fan I think you would love this set.

   I needed to refreshen both of my sourdough starters yesterday. I split the rye to share with a friend so will be dropping that off this morning. I also have a loaf of bread rising in my dutch oven as I type and will be baking it soon in a hot oven.  I will be sharing the results at Cast Iron Fridays 

Happy Thursday everyone
