The sun is shining and I’m up in beautiful Portland, Oregon. (That’s Washington Park yesterday.) I’m having a Nana Week. The sun really is shining, the cherry trees are blooming, and daffodils are everywhere. I don’t need a calendar to tell me IT’S SPRING!! Actually, Spring starts tomorrow. Hope it’s Spring where you are. Here are a couple of other things I wanted to mention.
` ` ` ` `
Since I’m an alum of the University of Kansas and my husband graduated from Kansas State, we’ve often had interesting rivalries over the years. But when March Madness rolls around, it’s all about Kansas – either team. So all I can say is GO KANSAS.

The READ-A-THON Is Coming!!
April 10
One entire day devoted to reading.
How luxurious is that?
For book-lovers there is nothing we love more than a chance to just sit and read our books. The Read-A-Thon gives us a chance to see if we can do it for an entire 24-hour period.
You do not need to have a blog to participate. Last October my whole family participated (including the two granddaughters). We had a great time doing it. You just need to line up a stack of books, decide on what and how you’re going to handle food that day, and you are set. Everything else is just details. I hope you’ll join me in the fun.
Check in at the website devoted to the Read-A-Thon for more information.
I’m so glad spring is finally here! I hope you’re getting to go to Powell’s while you’re in Portland.
Your picture looks lovely. Since you’re up in rhody country, I hope you’ll help us starving-for-flowers people and post some pictures!
I am so glad I am not arround you two for this years March Madness. It is bad enough being here in Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky Territory ugg. lol
OK did they have to choose the last weekend b4 taxes to have the read a thon? Really?! I want to participate. But TAXES! What am I to do?!
I picked Kansas State in the Final Four. I would have picked Kansas too, but I had to pick Ohio State to beat them. I just couldn’t help myself even though I know it’s a longshot.
It look glorious up there!!!! Enjoy your nana weekend!!! Being a past Spartan…only green/white is allowed in this house!!
Go Spartans!!
Yay to the Read-a-Thon…so can’t wait for April 10th!!
Enjoy that spring! We won’t feel or see it for a few more weeks.
Sunday – Sorry Margot. That was a huge upset. My bracket was toast when Georgetown lost. What a year!
Still catching up; hope you’re having a wonderful Nana weekend! Portland looks very Springlike.
Thank you for your comment on my library challenge post; I had every intention of letting you know that I was linking before I published it but….
It’s been such odd weather here – we had some beautiful sunny, breezy spring days last week, but it is now snowing big fluffy white flakes that aren’t sticking on the ground. It’s supposed to be sunny tomorrow – but even if it was, our trees are still bare and it will be a few months before I’ll have views like the gorgeous one in your post!
