This week seems to be nothing but bad weather and chicken pox. We had a blizzard up here Monday. I went to take the kids to a community easter egg hunt Monday night and had to turn around as the roads got way too bad. Several cars went off and Flossie who had made it to the hunt had a hard time getting home. Of course Jody made it later that night to Bryan's to watch the final Carolina game.
Tuesday everyone missed school because of snow. We got about 6 inches. Weds. little kids missed, but bigs went. Emmie broke out with C Pox on Tues., Gab on Wed. and Tony on Fri. Tony's back is totally covered. I did take them yesterday to Massey Gap up at the park where the wild ponies are. They did an Easter egg hunt there in 35 degree weather. There were only 10 kids there besides mine and about 1000 eggs so they did pretty good. At least the bad weather gave me time for music and sewing.
The weather has been awful for gardening. Jody and Joey and Chris and Johnny did manage to get some of my fruit trees planted yesterday for a couple of hours before Joey, Caleb, Chris, Scotia and Johnny went off on a 3 hour 4 wheeler ride.
Jody and I took advantage of Johnny being home on Fri for the vacation to go off Fri afternoon and do chiropractic and acupuncture treatments, buy animal feed and look at fencing for my strawberry/raspberry mini field, buy Easter outfits for older kids[ I already had them for younger ] and then eat at a great restaurant. If you are in Blowing Rock try it. It is fine dining so somewhat costly, but we had the best chicken marsala ever and they make their own pasta and have great gourmet salads and homemade breads. It is called SSSSpaghetti. It is near the outlets mall in BR.
Well time to go check on my chicken pox kids. Johnny is staying home with them while the rest of us go to church.
