Today March is going out like a LION. The wind is howling and howling. I heard it all night long. When I went to Mom's this morning she said she didn't hear the wind all night. She is lucky because her house blocks the sound. The streets were just a little slick. Burwell started with a late start but just when I was going to wake up Sam, Ted called from the nursing home, where he was working, and told me
Burwell had closed. Sam is still not up and it is 10:45. Time to be thinking about what to fix for dinner. We are going to have oven fried chicken. I need to have that in the oven by 11 because Ed and Ted will be home at noon to eat. I pack up Mom and my share and take it over and eat with her. For those that don't know Catherine has moved to Ord. She is renting an apartment and is enjoying it. On a day like today it is good she doesn't have to drive. She came home on Sunday to do her laundry. Valerie was home on Fri and sat. She was giving a Pampered Chef party in Ord so she came to Burwell after she was done teaching in Overton. She doesn't teach on Friday. She went home on Sat. because she had to take students to Norfolk on Mon for a show choir contest. This week at the Sandstone the owners have been pretty upset. There is a blog that people can annomously post any comment they want. The blog is from Ord but they have added a Burwell link. Someone and they think it is a former disgruntled employee has posted not to eat at the Sandstone. They said that they spit in food and drop food on the floor and make waitresses share thier tips. The administrator of the blog removed the post but not before some people had made copies of it and were showing it at the coffeeshops. My question is "Why do people care so much and why in Burwell do we always want people to fail?" The whole blog should be removed because people post on there anything they want without having to be accountable. The food inspector Larry always eats at the Sandstone when he makes his inspections so it must not be too bad. Need to get chicken in the oven and today I think I will make hot cross buns as a practice for Easter

Just an update, Sam is home and had a double Quarter pounder with cheese and saw no deer. Burwell is really getting beat.

I see on Jane's blog she has been checking to see if anyone has posted a new blog. I just don't have that much to talk about. Today was Friday the 13th and so far nothing bad has happened. Sam is gone with a friend to McDonalds. The friend just got his driver's license this week. This is a bad time to be driving because the deer are so bad. Ed and Ted took a load of furniture to Catherine's apartment on Tues. night and three times they saw deer. Sam has promised he will wear his seat belt so we hope they are safe. I went to see Catherine's apartment on Thurs. afternoon. It is a starter apartment. She doesn't have any windows. I told her that at least she doesn't have to buy any curtains. She and Travis are going to Valeries on Sunday to pick up a coach. Valerie has an extra coach from when she lived in Norton. Tonight Ed and I went to Verda's for the fish fry. Every Fri night during lent she has a fish fry and BBQ ribs to go with it. It comes with a baked potato or Mac and cheese and coleslaw. It is unlimited for 7.75. It is a fun time. Right now I am listening to the Burwell Longhorns play basketball. They are in the semi-finals at the State tourney. They are playing Mead and Mead is winning. If Burwell gets in the finals we are going to the game but right now it looks like we will be staying home. Burwell is behind by 9 points. It has been 11 years since Burwell BB boys have gone to State. If we don't go to Lincoln I want to start painting my kitchen cupboards.
