No rain today

The temperature outside is so nice. Even though it is overcast it has that feeling of warm weather to come. That is important on several fronts.

First of all, let me wish Paul a warm and safe Happy Birthday. Paul is on the road, as usual. Having been a long-haul truck driver for many years, he is rarely home or with family on his special day, but I want him to know he is not forgotten. Happy 50th birthday Paul. Don't feel bad about being 50. Try to see it from my view, by mid-June half of my kids and kids-in-law will have reached or passed this landmark age.

Warm clear weather will be important for Rick and Amy L's wedding in June. They plan on an outdoor celebration with family bbq. We all love his Amy and are looking forward to this event.

We are also looking forward to welcoming our sixth great-grandchild (a girl) in early July. A baby shower is planned (maybe outside) in mid-May. Lissa (Shelley & Eric's youngest) and husband Nate are so happy.

While life is adjustable around the weather, family and friends gathering outside is dependant on it being nice. We are so blessed to have really nice summer weather here in Oregon. Relatively little rain until the fall rolls in again. Enjoy your day. Take advantage of the sunshine.
