Yesterday was a quiet day as Michellie and I both recovered from whatever stomach issues we had picked up. Neither of us has been really sick, but the stomach cramps have continued for days now. The boys returned home at 4:30, and it was good to have MacKenzie home. We have done some great catching up, and enjoyed a lot of tea, talk and good food. MacKenzie and Michellie took part of the evening to go down to the Coal Mines and walk the beach. The sunset was a vibrant red last night, and the water was very calm.
Michellie ventured to school this afternoon, however there are a lot of germs floating around, so she was apprehensive about spending too much time in large crowds. She was to finally go to a party tomorrow night, but one of the people at the house has pneumonia, so Michellie will not be able to make that happen. She is very disappointed, and so are we. Next time!
Details for the Washington trip are coming in, and they are just securing the clearances for the kids to go to the White House. The rest of the trip details will be arriving on Monday, and we look forward to getting the bags packed for Michellie.
We had some initial success with the water treatment on Michellie's rash, but it is still raging, just in a smaller way. We will continue, and hope that it is minimized before she can go swimming at the hotel pool next week.
There are snow flurries here, with some rain, but the wind has died down. Hopefully the temperature will stay high enough to keep the snow melting as it hits the earth. The grass is green, and the tulips are up, so we know the spring signs are all here. We did hear that the frogs need to chirp on three different days, and the black birds need to head north, and then spring is officially here. The frogs have been heard once so far.
