blizzard

We were skeptical yesterday when the snow hadn't even started by noon, that this would be the Armageddon the weather folks predicted. Apparently, they were correct. Regis thinks we got about 8 inches of snow and the first inch or so came as rain. Roads are closed all over south central Minnesota, schools are closed, many events have been cancelled. Our snow blower seems to be frozen because it won't start. Treacherous, but beautiful.








I was supposed to sub today but of course, a day off instead! My plan for the day is to clean up the kitchen, make a nice cheese and meat tray for dinner, bake some cookies, and go outside to make some snow angels. Happy winter!

I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
