I really should have known better than to get excited over the warm weather. My best friend and I have this running joke; Mother Nature has it out for her and due to association she is now ticked off at me. The weather has gone cold. Not only has it gone cold we had snow. I’ve been looking at the forecast and are under a freeze warning tonight. I’ve been watching the weather and for the next week there is going to be a lot of rain and high temps in the 50′s. It figures, the front window is fixed, the soft top has been fixed and as soon as that was done the weather went bad.

I received an email a couple of days ago that is too good not to pass on. JeepForum is currently running a giveaway that is open to anyone who has a premium membership. If you subscribe before April 14th you will only have to pay $19.95; that’s a savings of 33% off the normal price!

I’m just about to upgrade my membership. I’m a member of numerous forums and I’ve always been impressed with how active the Jeep Forum is. There are currently over 1300 entries in their giveaway and that’s only the premium members. I imagine they have a lot of non-paying members like myself.

They have some really cool prizes in their giveaway check them out!

Yesterday the temperature was in the mid 70′s, the sky was blue and another perfect day for going for a drive in the Jeep. As I sat out on my balcony with my cup of tea I was greeted by a beautiful site; the first signs of spring. The branches of the tree right outside our balcony is covered in little green buds and the grass on the golf course fairway is starting to turn green.

I couldn’t help but get excited and think about all the wonderful adventures our Jeep will take us on this spring and summer. The kids are a bit older this year and will be able to handle some moderate trails. Our little guy was just an infant last year so we were resigned to sticking to trails that were more dirt roads than trails. I love this time of year minus the tornado watches!

We were really busy leading up to my husband’s birthday and he ended up with a store bought cake despite my plans to attempt and make him one. I hate to admit this but I have never baked a birthday cake. My daughter was recently diagnosed with food allergies to eggs and milk so for her birthday I will have to put on an apron and make one. I thought making a Jeep cake could be fun to try so I Googled “Jeep Cake Pan” and sure enough you can buy them on Ebay. I’ve got 5 months to practice and try to make something edible; I feel sorry for my poor family having to be the tasting guinea pigs.
