Friday night

Blizzard! Started snowing at mid-day, 2-3" per hour. About 10" so far. It is only 11 degrees and windy. Bash and I are snug as bugs in a rug. My car is tucked into the barn for the night. I had to ram it through the snow to get in the barn since it had not been plowed yet from the last storm. This is wild to say the least. Sunday there is to be another storm. Pete and I are supposed to motor to Mass. tomorrow for an overnight at Kate's for a Christmas celebration. I hope we can go since it has been several years since I have been able to be with my family for Christmas. We are watching the storms closely to see if we will be able to get back towards home before the next storm comes in. I wish I were in Naples. It is 80 degrees there now with all the holiday celebrations. Depressing but I cannot dwell on it.

I hope come January, the winter will be gentler. I didn't work today. Apparently, many people don't take off the last day before a 2 week vacation. Now I am officially on vacation. Something I really don't want right now. But there are things that need doing. Bashey needs a grooming. I need to work out at the gym. I hope to do some cross country skiing. I still have my skiis which are 40 yrs. old. I do need some wax though. Found some at REI but like most things, it is much more expensive than it was 40 yrs. ago.

Not much more to report since being snowed in is rather boring unless you have someone to be romantic with. I will write about our weekend.
