All women are created equal,
but only the best are born in April...
April-born women are often described as fierce,
confident, and natural leaders, characterized as
"storms" rather than those who simply withstand
them. I will not contradict this because I am an
April woman and this holds true. "April girl, they
whispered , 'You cannot withstand the storm.'
She whispered back, 'I am the damm storm."
A new month begins. Definitely one of my favorites.
I you see was born in April. Nobody is perfect, but if
you were born in April, you're pretty damn close.
Arvid continues doing the tour guide thing. He's
very good and patient at it. With everyone. More so
than I am. I see him with my parents and I smile. He's
so patient. So kind. I sure got lucky with him.
Yesterday we took Vidar to mom and dad's.
Of course they wanted to cook and have us over
for dinner, but we said not this time. They just got
back from their cruise and I know they are tired, but
I also know they would have gladly done it.
Yesterday we also had lunch at home. Vidar
and I were the cooks. Arvid a not so interested
observer. Vidar made the salmon with a very
delicious sauce. I made the shrimp scampi, and
the accompaniments. Everything was good.
Best was the time spent together. Relaxed.
Yesterday was a very good day. Vidar and my
parents got along very well. They asked him how he
liked Branson and his response was, "it was fantastic."
He told them he would like to go back there another time
and maybe spend two weeks. He said there was so much
to do in Branson. To that there was another toast/ skål.
To all a very good day and may April be
good to all of us. Many say April is a promise
of what's to come. Happy New Month.
In family relationships love is really
spelled t-i-m-e. Gratitude turns what we have into
enough, transforming ordinary days into blessings
and unlocking the fullness of life....
