Springtime

The winter we didn't get earlier this year has been showing up now - a huge Easter storm arrived just in time Thursday! But it is warming up again, and in another day or two we will be back to green grass.

Tom spent his winter in Alamos, then traveled to Japan and the Philippines for a month with a group of friends. He's back in Texas now, and I will take a week's vacation there this month. Then he'll wait for the "all clear" (no snow in the forecast!) to return to Montana.

The Special Olympic scarf project turned out successfully - we sent 20 scarves to the state office.

Next year we've decided to give the scarves directly to the local chapter since we know several athletes, and they only compete in the local games. The local contact thinks they could use 45 scarves, and we're pretty sure we can do that - several crafters have mentioned they would prefer to know their contribution is going to local athletes, so enthusiasm is high for this idea. We're just waiting for the official colors to be announced so we can get started.
