After several days of Granny's House looking like a graveyard due to at least three distinct viruses that settled over us, it appears that everyone has finally turned the corner. You might not know it to see all the half-empty bottles of NyQuil and cough medicine, boxes of tissues, pallets on the floors and on the sofas, cups of flat soda, etc....but really, no one is worse today and several of us have decided that doing a few math problems is not REALLY the equivalent of scaling Mt. Everest!

So I guess I'd have to say the winter has been a mixed bag for us. I mentioned before that we've had some great winter weather for this part of the country. That respite makes it a little easier to tolerate the thought of the coming summer heat. But we haven't escaped the nasty bugs that tend to go along with this time of year, and we've long observed that the more people who live in our house the longer these bouts last, because our family loves to share! Seems like no matter how many times we wash our hands, how much we air out the house, how carefully we control the disposal of used tissues, we end up with a few weeks each winter when all we can do is nurse each other. Maybe that's what it takes to make us actually look forward to the heat!
