On the road again

How can it be a month since my last post?  Time does fly!  Grateful to Michelle & Lucy for another couple of weeks in Erie, I headed back to Palisade to celebrate the Ides of March with my Mom and Dad.  The weather during this time has been a wonderful taste of spring, punctuated by the apricots in bloom, with the plums following closely.  We toasted the first day of spring on Friday with Hans and Delia, G&T's and assorted hors d'oeuvres.

Wil is on spring break this week and today we start our road trip back to Chicago.  The kitchen is coming alive with a hearty bacon, eggs and buckwheat pancake breakfast while Wil comes alive in the shower.  The weather seems to be cooperating, for which I am very grateful.  We plan to stop in Hays, KS tonight, Kansas City, MO on Wednesday and then shoot up to Springfield, IL on Thursday for a stop at the Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library before arriving after rush hour in Chicago.  Happy trails!
