The sun is streaming through the windows after about 24 hours of rain. The snow is almost gone in town and most of the bulbs are poking up through last year's leaves. The snow is still deep at Silver Star and Sovereign Lake but skiing and snow shoeing are losing their lure.
We had a wonderful family dinner for Jay's birthday on Wed. May made one of her usual great meals, except the main course was supposed to be the the traditional Filipino long spaghetti for long life but all she had was macaroni, so I hope Jay is not doomed to a short bent life. The girls wrote messages on his card that really moved him, Jin Hee pulled chocolate bars for him out of every sleeve and fold in her hoodie, Min Hee gave him an origami with another message, May gave him\them a night at Sparkling Hills and I made the cake and gave him money that may go toward new work boots. The only cloud at the moment is in the form of a tax bill from the Federal Govt that he received last week. He's getting advice from an accountant for that. This too will pass.
I saw the movie, "Julieta," by Pedro Almodovar at the Towne Cinema last Monday. It was very good. I've seen other movies by him that I have liked. I was particularly interested in this one because I had read that it was loosely based on three short stories from Alice Munro's book, "Runaway." Some things were changed, the movie was set in Spain not the west coast of Canada, for one thing, but the acting and sets were really good.
Here's hoping we are all beginning a warm spring.
