i am SO done with winter, among other things

i've never been as ready for spring as i am right now. baby cabin fever is no joke - i sit at home and tell liam all about warm summer days, flowers, walks to the park, etc. i don't know how inuit moms did it. i guess they stayed pretty busy, what with butchering seals and tending fires and such.

i was inspired to start this blog not just to bitch about the weather, but because i finally read all of these little newspaper columns my mom wrote when we were little and living in wells. (i'm "cassie" ) here's a sample:

Wells News, By Mrs. Kathy Homan
2-24-1983
Greetings from the swamps of Kansas! With the melting snow and all the rain Wells has become a sea of mud. The Homans are considering stocking the small pond that used to be their driveway. Fishing anyone?
Friday morning Kathy Homan, Cassie and Joshua visited Mrs. Jennifer Gordon and children in Salina.
The Doug Homan family took a scenic drive to Oak Hill and Longford Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon Heather, Mandy and Cassie Homan visited Mr. and Mrs. Tom Bishop while their folks and Joshua went to the AMBUC's sports show in Salina.
Doug and Kathy Homan and family ate dinner with Ross and Evelyn Homan for a belated birthday celebration for Kathy and Cindy Hartger.

through my mom's column (which is kind of like the first family blog!) i discovered that i saw the charlie daniel's band when i was a baby, among other things. we ate at pizza hut in minneapolis, ks a lot when i was little, although i vividly remember that because we always got quarters to play the jukebox.

so i'm taking a cue from my mom and blogging about those possibly boring aspects of my life, knowing that some day my kid (and yet unknown kids) may get a kick out of them.
