Finally the first day of spring is upon us. It was a little chilly today but that didn't stop the daffodils from showing off their love of the season. We have four sets of daffodils planted in front of each set of porch steps. They were given to us at a infant bereavement memory walk a few years ago. We planted them in memory of Beau and Haley. Their arrival helps me remember Beau and Haley and how delicate life is.
I missed posting anything last week. I guess work really took over my weekend which left little time to unwind my mind. One of the corporate owners arrived from Germany with a project manager on Saturday. We worked all day Sunday preparing for meetings that week with BMW and VW. Part of their trip also involved the changing of the guard at my office. I have become the only U.S. employee in the company. We discussed how we can move forward and possible expand the presence of the parent company in the U.S. After their departure on Wednesday, I felt a little better about the prospect of staying with them and helping grow the business. There are many things to be settled and I try to keep in mind that it only takes one step at a time.
This weekend was fairly relaxing. Gin and I didn't do too much on Saturday besides trade in my rental for another and pick up groceries. The new rental car is a Jeep Grand Cherokee and has a real neat feature. I don't need to take the keys out of my pocket...ever. When I walk up to the car, it unlocks. To start the car I push a button and likewise to turn the engine off. To lock the car, I can push the inside lock button before closing the door, or push a button outside on the door handle. I'll also be enjoying the satellite radio on the long trips.
Today I finally cleaned up the yard with the mower. The leaves had been on the ground through the winter. We enjoyed the late afternoon and evening at Patrick's and Jessica's for dinner and play time with Nolan and Dean. Nolan and I spent a little time on the front porch with Nolan doing most of the talking. After dinner Nolan fell asleep in my arms and I laid him in his bed. This gave me time to wrestle and play with Dean and get some pretty healthy laughs out of him.
Enjoy the season!
