Yes, I know, Laredoans are always talking about the weather when not much changes. However, this year it's different! Winter normally starts about the day after Christmas, then gradually disappears by mid-January. For the first three months of this year, 2010, Laredo was just darn cold--colder than New York City on many days. Instead of the air conditioner coming on, the heater was used for a gracious plenty of nights in the 30's and 40's. Finally in March, our Spring appeared, and it's still here at the end of April. It rained last week for 7 days, and not quite 7 nights. Our prominent weather forecaster, "Heat Wave" Berler says we are 5" of rain ahead of our year to date average; Heatwave had to change this year from shorts to his "long johns"!
Well, enough already, it has been a good year for the most part. Our 6 week celebration of George Washington's Birthday went off great. Anna and John Galo did their expected superb job portraying Martha and George. Laredo raised $60,000. for Haitian earthquake relief--donated to Habitat for Humanity International, Doctors without Borders, and the Red Cross. The Laredo Bucks made it to the CFL Hockey Playoffs, and many out of town college students (working for Habitat Laredo on an alternative Spring Break experience) enjoyed seeing the Bucks in action.
The pool was used last week, the rain has stopped for now, and we may have our start of Summer by May. It's been a long Spring, hope yours has been enjoyable as well.
