Busy Spring

This is going to be a busy spring. Now that the weather has started to turn (there are still cold days coming up, and even another snow storm, but nothing like we had last month), we have a lot of project to do around the house: a new storm door, repairs to the downstairs shower plumbing (which sprung a leak inside the wall), a new faucet in the kitchen, new walls and floor in the sitting room, and lots of painting.

Work will go on (and on and on) as usual, and now we've added Karen's job at Lowe's; she enjoys the work, but the hours are unpredictable.

It won't all be work. We'll be finding the time to visit, to swim and kayak, to play games and go to some of our special summer places, like Bobby Sue's Ice Cream in Freedom (best homemade ice cream in the state) and the steam train in North Conway.

And I'm getting active in the theater again after taking a few months off. Well, actually only a couple since I was on stage for one night in January. This time I'll be in the seats, directing one of three one-act plays as part of our directing workshops. That will be just the beginning of what I hope will be a very active season at the Village Players.

Check back here for updates; there will be a lot to report from the Brooks Bunch in the months to come. After all, the snow is just beginning to thaw.

We're ready to come out of hiding.
