Hilary and Hannah left this morning. They've been up here for three weeks, and we've had a good time visiting with them. Hilary had planned the time she booked her travels for to coincide with her older sister's baby being born, but the baby hasn't come yet.
Tim E. also headed down to NV this morning to see Heidi for the weekend. Awww. :-) Hope they have a sweet time together.

I keep meaning to mention how much I love my pastry cloth. Forrest got it for me for Christmas, and I've used it numerous times already for pie crusts, pizza crusts, etc. It is a Bethany Pastry Cloth, stretched over a round board. The dough never sticks to it, I can turn the board around instead of having to lift the dought to turn it, and I don't have to scrape the bits of dough that used to stick to the counter. Just wait till I make lefse next time...it should be great.

Heidi and Rick & Rachel fly in the same night next month--Good Friday. I'm very excited to see them all!!

Birds are singing this morning. It's beginning to feel very early-springish, and I hope we get some rain this month, because we're behind on precipitation. But I think I'm ready for spring now--no more winter's my preference at this point.
