Too early for spring

Today pretty much went as planned - except for the Lady Mocs losing to Western Carolina. They had no pzazz at all in the first half, and were down by 12 at the half. They played like they meant it in the second half, and got to within 2 points, but were never ahead, and lost by 4. Just one of those days.

The rest of the day went pretty much as expected. I went over to Sears and bought the machine we had looked at yesterday. Sorry, Jimmy Mac, I appreciate your comments. I just didn't want to do any more shopping. And I've almost always had Kenmore appliances, and have always been satisfied with them. In any case, it's to be delivered on Monday, and I'll get it "christened".

Jesse and his current ladyfriend got here first, shortly followed by Margaret, and then Matt & Amanda. We went to eat at Longhorn ("cow" is always a winner with those two men), and had good meals.

They finished out the evening playing Rook.

We're supposed to get some snow overnight, but sunshine tomorrow and much colder temperatures. But spring is trying to happen here. Here's the first of several bright spots in our yard this afternoon
