Spring brings changes

So spring has arrived and winter weather has wound down to the occasion dusting of snow and rain. Vast areas of bare ground with little or snow in sight. I still haven't let my guard down as over the years an April snowstorm is not unheard of. The snowthrower and shovels are readily at hand for the time being at least until the last of the month when the camper comes out of storage.

Since my last post my Mother-in-law Margaret had passed away a month ago due to failing health. Given at 91 years old she has had veriest aliments over the last decade to deal with but she made a good run of it during these last few years. She left us peacefully during the night at a wonderful hospice facility with her daughters in attendance. We had a local service for her at the church she had attended since moving in with Lois and Jim allowing local and those who had to travel aways to pay their last respects. The actual funeral service will take place soon in her hometown of Stockholm in upstate Maine. A wonderful woman, I was proud to be one of her sons-in-law.

Work at the office has been keeping me busy, sometimes confusingly so. I cannot figure out if it's just changes in what my clients are dealing with or my aging out for the level of attention I have to provide to what I'm doing. Yes, probably some of each. In addition to it all the group I work with frequently and the entire floor we occupy were moved up two floors for a reconstruction project that the present people of that upper floor will move into once completed. The whole transition was rather sloppily handled. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm still adjusting to the new environment. Just a clog in the machine though I'm a well payed clog.

Thanks for checking back in - be well.
