Later today, we’ll be under a blizzard warning, so we are hunkering down. Yesterday I filled the car with gas so that if I get stranded, I’ll be able to stay warm. I also bought some groceries, mostly because our cupboard was bare. But buying groceries seemed to be the thing to do. The stock boy was busy refilling the bread shelf when I walked by and the lines were long. The kids, of course, are hoping for a day off of school tomorrow. I think they’re going to get it.

Secretly – don’t tell anyone – I hope they have a day off. I love snow days. You get to watch the snow falling without worrying about having to go out in it. Maybe we’ll start a fire in the fireplace and play Monopoly while we drink hot chocolate. Ahh, life doesn’t get any better than that.
