A rainy weekend

Why do I feel like Charlie Brown?  It's because I've just come in from outside in the pouring rain - gardening, not playing baseball.  And I'm soaking wet.  But I did get the tomatoes planted and some geraniums.  Let's see if they survive the cool and rainy weather we have forecast all this week.
 
Anyone have the sniffles and think they had swine flu?  Mary did, and lost her voice and had to miss a couple of days of school.  She didn't get swine flu, but even my allergies made me think I had the flu, at least for a couple of hours.  She wasn't sick enough to miss her guitar class though, and she has expanded her repertoire to Amazing Grace.
 
Margaret braved the weather yesterday to take D to the beach.  At least that was her plan.  She joined Mary for dinner this week, but I missed out because of work.  We talked to Annie a couple of times and she was putting the finishing touches on her thesis.  Since we haven't heard from her since, we assume she's out celebrating.
 
At this very moment, we think Claire is in the middle of her confirmation.  We tried calling last night, but no one was home.  Out celebrating too, most likely. Congratulations Claire.
 
And, at this very moment, we think Grandma is at Meadow Lakes church and then Sunday dinner.  She thought she was well enough to venture out again, for the first time in a long time.  She said too that Uncle Jim is back in the hospital.

Big news from Fairport - David's on Facebook! And I was his first friend!
 
The front page of the Washington Post has a picture of Justice Souter's New Hampshire home.  It could be the only home in America that looks more hard luck than 5 Hancock Road.
 
It's also been a sports week.  Last night Mary and I saw a great movie - Sugar, about a Dominican baseball player.  It's in Spanish (with subtitles), but more a movie about immigration than baseball.  We're also watched parts of two exciting playoff series this week - basketball (Celtics) and hockey (Capitals).  And, of course there's always the first month of baseball!
 
It's May and that means Mother's Day next week, and Sean's birthday and a couple of graduations coming up.  Big month.  If the past is any guide, then this month will fly by as well. 
 
That's all from down here.  Love.
