Thursday, March 18

What a gorgeous day...sunny and mild...just perfect! I could use more day like this one. Yellow forsythia and pink blossoming trees around town, and the daffodills in our in our yard are on display. What joy!

Sort of tossed and turned again last night, so got up late. It'll probably take a week or so for me to adjust to the time change. Did a treadmill session after breakfast, but didn't accomplish much after that.

Mother came over after lunch, so we could go to a scrapbook club meeting at 1 p.m. One of the members came by and rode with us. She is almost 80 years old, and doesn't like drive in town.

Sadly, she reported that her daughter and husband's brother-in-law (husband of his sister) was killed in a fiery automobile crash at 2 a.m. yesterday morning. Apparently, he fell asleep at the wheel of his vehicle and then crossed the center line into the path of a propane truck.

The other member of the club in attendance, as well as a visitor, knew this man, but I did not. Because the man was well respected in the community, tonight's local newspaper carried a big article about the accident on the front page.

The four of us had difficulty completing intended projects today, because we each failed to bring crucial elements for our scrapbook pages. Still, we did as much as we could in the two hours we were there. And we enjoyed visiting.

Back home, I began preparations for Hubbie's and my supper...tomato soup and bean sandwiches on hamburger buns. Mother did not join us for supper tonight.

Later, Hubbie and I went to the movie theater to see "Alice in Wonderland" in 3-D. I'll report my opinion of the movie in tomorrow's blog.
