Late Afternoon Entry

Thursdays are kind of crowded in the morning. Caroline has a couple of appointments including Mommy and Me which was an adventure in itself since it was picture day and Caroline didn't want to get her picture taken. Our solution was to let her sit on my back as the photographer shot her from waist up. The Class picture was a disaster since Caroline wouldn't stop crying. She doesn't like to sit and have her picture taken. In this case it was the professional flash system that set her off.

OK we had clouds then rain then snow then hail then the whole thing cleared out and it was sunny and warm in the afternoon. 4/5/06 goes into my books as one of the strangest weather days I have ever lived through. Today was sunny and warm with a light breeze. Overall it was a fine spring day.

Remember Doctor Who is on tomorrow night and it is the second half of this adventure. Then next week we get 'Dalek' which I will have a lot to say about after it has aired.

I am grateful for a little quiet time.
