March 15, 2007 by Patsy

It was a gorgeous day today, which I got to see very little of. I have a grant due tomorrow so I have been working on it all day. I did go outside and pick a few daffodils to bring inside. That’s my favorite thing about warmer weather is having fresh flowers. I grow them so I can bring them inside and no matter how many I grow it’s never enough.

The shelf over the kitchen sink is a favorite spot to put a flower. And daffodils are the perfect color accent.

As of yet I have no tulips coming up. I hope they do show up. I considered it an “investment” year before last when I planted all those. Last night at Altrusa someone told me their tulips weren’t up yet either so that made me feel a little better.

Teresa and I went to Roy’s for lunch and afterwards I went and delivered some signs for Trish’s campaign. April 3 is election day so it’s right around the corner. I hope Trish wins in her bid for city council. She will do a great job, I know.

I’ve been thinking a lot today about house things. I packed another box of cookbooks last night before I went to bed. Suddenly I find myself sentimental for things I haven’t looked at in a decade. I think I will have to photocopy some of the inscriptions people have written to me before I pass the books on.

I ran across one from Dave Case, this guy I interviewed a bunch of times when I worked in radio. He was a fish and wildlife person and I really liked him. He was always friendly and pleasant. He wrote a cookbook with a coauthor about cooking with game and gave me a copy. I hadn’t thought about it in years but there it was, just for the picking up. A nice little memory. But I can preserve the memory without holding onto the book. So, that’s what I’m going to do.
