Snow

Hey, we are almost finished with winter when suddenly the snow is everywhere today. We had a blizzard with snow going sideways even. It has stopped but now the streets are impassable or also even impossible. We never fear as the mayor has now declared an emergency situation.

You have been so lucky this year. Not only because of no snow but because of two emails from Willie. What kind of big gift did you send him? I’m about to take him off my address list. I am glad that he does not have to leave the Bagram base.

We had a busy week around here as Peyton and Walker had a Winter School Break for five days-and they spent it at MY house. Needless to say I’ve been resting today. They get up at 6:30 and keep going until 8 p.m. We stayed busy with a children’s play, an indoor water park with bowling, laser tag and a climbing wall, a Harlem Globetrotters game, and the SkyHi bounce center. They love handling basketballs and I loved having them stay busy. They are very enthusiastic.

Did you get the word that Uncle Ron now is ready for his final hip surgery? He actually said he’d be done with his hip conversation once this final surgery is finished. Do you believe that? Not me.

Just so you’ll know why I’m not taking any trips I’ll tell you that my living room is empty as well as my hallway. I chose to put my couches in the kitchen and my table in the spare bedroom. I kind of like it this way. I thought I’d have Lucas and Miles over for a picnic in the living room since the carpet is ready to come out on Tuesday. I’m following MimiSmartypants and my Chicago cousin and getting rid of my carpet. There’s also painting to be done so it might be two weeks before the couches leave my kitchen. I think this might be my last hurrah for the house.
