Tomorrow evening my sister-in-law (my brother’s wife) arrives. The forecast assures us that we will have sunny skies and balmy weather (mid-70s as the high) through the week. I’m looking forward to a schedule-free, spontaneous visit where we talk until the late hours and do whatever strikes our fancy. I have an idea for a picnic lunch, perhaps at the beach. And perhaps some good home cooking on our brand new stove. Husband is working on a project deadline and won’t be around a lot, but that’s just fine. (Oh, we’ll miss him, but we like the “girl time.”)

Spring is on the way!
