Why is it always about money?

Our design committee meeting was last night. Fun as usual, but I was anxious that our Main Street group president was going to give us the talk about going to the next town meeting to fight for keeping all the funding for our organization. I just cannot support that. I can support a cut in funding - I have issues with our lone paid full-time employee and feel we could do well with a per-diem person - but the issues is face each day here at work won't let me stand up at another town meeting to beg for money when I am confident that we, as volunteers, will keep our organization going no matter what.

It was blissful being an ocean away an not hearing the voice or the name of our governor. Granted, the UK is awash in politics with the impending election of a new PM in May, but Christie just upsets me and it was nice to be away from that.

Looking at what we have left as far as film and chemistry, I feel like Dems and I finally got it right and ordered just the right amount of stuff. We may actually not run out of anything this year! Problem - we have had to cut film and paper quantities for next year. Sigh...

I am loving walking around my yard and looking at all the blooming flowers - the bulbs survived! Every day I get out of my car and just walk around and look at all the tulips, daffodils, violets. And all the other stuff coming up - hostas, peonies, etc. Time to break out the feel-good spring time music!
