Is it Spring yet?


So, I'm thinking to myself "is it ever going to stop snowing and show us a little Spring?" Yup, it's snowing again in Dubuque. This is nothing new, we've had record snowfalls in Dubuque this winter with a few snow days of many inches.

I'm going to cheat Spring a bit by traveling to California, Anaheim to be specific, for the ELCA Youth Ministry Extravaganza. This is a fun Annual event that brings together those involved in youth ministry, seminary,specialty organizations and such. It's continuing education, fellowship, networking and interaction under one roof. It would be neat to meet YOU there, but if you're not going, just know that I intend to wear a pair of shorts outside and laugh at Dubuque winter.

On yet another note, it seems as though the little kitten we have been fostering since early November may be working on us to adopt him. He's had major health issues, so much so that some at the Dubuque Humane Society thought he should be put down. Happily we won the day and kept nursing him to health. He still has a little bit of an eye issue, which he may have for the rest of his cute little life, but worse than that, he's REALLY LOVEABLE and I'll be danged if I can resist him. He's a munchkin of a kitten, just now getting to the 2lb. mark that his little friends reached in mid December. We'll see, if you are on Facebook, you can pet him (virtually of course) and see his picture.

That's it for today, this week we are battling more snow and the arrival of the flu at the Amlin Ranch. Say a little prayer for us, won't you?

Peace,

Paul :o)
