Snow Days, Sunshine and Dancing

Hello Familia--

(Using the wolf Peanut shared, after Groundhog's Day...)

Happy Snow shoveling from the Arctic North! We've had a week of S.N.O.W. here in Wayland, some with Frank, and some without.

After I had started clearing off cars Thursday night

SNOW DAYS. Frank spent the week in Atlanta, so he had some warmer temps than we did. The weather service predicted "8-12 inches" for us last Thursday, and we put the yardstick into the snow in the backyard. 10 inches!

Then today (Sunday) we got some more. It's still snowing. Maybe another 8 inches, I'm not exactly sure. It should stop by morning. We had last Thursday off of school, and they've already cancelled for tomorrow. 2 snow days in one week. I started feeling a cold coming on Friday, and today it's in full swing. Hoping that every day it gets a little better.

SUNSHINE in the DESERT. I took a few pics in Arizona when I was there. It was not WARM while I was there (Mom assures me that since I left, the temps have reached into the 70's and 80's. Thanks, Mom :0 :0 :0 ) While I was there it was more like in the 50s during the days. But I did have some sunshine one day, so I took a walk with my camera. Cactus makes some very interesting photos.

What else exciting this week? Kind of same-old-same-old, after we dig ourselves out.

RUMBA. Frank and I learned some Rumba steps on Saturday--Carole Ann, in our church congregation, is a dance instructor and she agreed to teach some couples some basic dances. Okay, we have NO experience...but she's a patient teacher!

HOSTESS JOB. Oh--Kara got a job at a restaurant very close to us, "Prime Grill 131." She'll be a hostess on weekends, and maybe one other night of the week. THat means she greets people at the front door, and seats them. They're only open for dinner, and close at 10 during the week. Yay, Kara!

Frank has a short couple of days in NYC this week, then to Florida the end of the week. Conferences in Orlando, plus he can go see his mom and dad :) :) :) Sunny Florida here he comes!

Last photo...I didn't post David & his group of high school friends, as they got together over Christmas time. They went to one of those "find your way out of the maze" places, where you have a certain amount of time to figure out the clues and get out. Here they are in front of our house, before they left for their Boston outing.

Have a great week!  Kari
