. They died down a bit yesterday and today, but they managed to stick around. Supposed to be pick up even more tomorrow on into Thursday. Almost a week straight of nothing but wind. 
Who ever did the video needed to put the song "Wipe Out" in the background. I don't think I saw one person who made it all the way.

Tucson has been gorgeous all week, sunny and mid-80s!
Now Heather is starting to show her excitement. It's been really busy here at work, so we're ready for vacation. 
Glad to see she made it fine both ways. Now you can ask her how it was for when you come in October. Forgot to ask if you were successful in finding a hotel.
How did she like my neck of the woods? Poor thing probably had to deal with the wind we've been having. If not, she got lucky and came on a good day then.
The dance competition was at the Albuquerque Convention Center and most of the studio's dancers, teachers and parents stayed at the Plaza Inn, which my daughter said was very near the convention center. A group of the teachers went out to eat Saturday night. I'll have to ask her where they went. I know she didn't really see much beyond those two places, but she had a great time.
Another Irish family here! I come from a family of McCrory's and McGrath's on my father's side, and from Fitzgerald's on my mother's side. My dad grew up in South Boston. He was quite the character, very, very funny, and had a heart of gold. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 80. He is very much missed.
Growing up, my brothers and I got such a kick out of the stories he would tell about growing up in South Boston. He would always refer to Scollay Square whenever he saw someone that looked a little...how should I say...scantily clad or suggestive.
My younger daughter's boyfriend, Conner, is also from an Irish family. St. Patrick's Day always falls during spring break here, so for the past couple of years, they have spent the week at his family's home in Colorado. His mother is an Irish Stepdancer and Conner plays the bagpipes. St. Patrick's Day is huge for their family and they spend the evening performing at local pubs. They wear all the authentic gear, and his grandparents join in the festivities.
On a lighter note, less than a month to go before we're in your neck of the woods.
we wake up to a lovely day! It is partly cloudy and partly sunny! I will take pouring rain every night as long as its sunny during the day … 
Good Morning Weather DISer's!!!

Feel so badly for my east coast families, it is continuing to snow and one of my friends in Northern NH received 10 inches of snow yesterday. My Dsis in ME received 3 inches of snow ugh.

We're going backwards instead of forward. We actually had a trace of snow on the ground this morning and it got cold. Still windy as heck also.
