He's a starter for the local High School basketball team, and we know him from church. This is his senior year and he's a 3-sport busy guy. Mike even dealt with a broken arm during the football season. He and John like to talk basketball, and this is the second game we've attended this season.

Forcing some spring bulbs always brings a 'green hopefulness' to these continually cold days. These paperwhites sprung up in a pot near my kitchen window. I wasn't very fond of the scent though.

Drove to Cincinnati to see John's dad and enjoy his company. Talked, looked at pictures, went out to eat. The three of us played some Skipbo. (Surprisingly, this was John's first time playing!) Wayne did great and whipped us in the first two games. We are grateful that his dad gets assistance through his complex. John's brother Dave lives nearby and is a kind-hearted man who really helps out a lot.
