I looked outside and almost thought I’d lost it!  A white-out??!!  Well, ok, just snowing, and it was forecast, but What?!  Next it’s supposed to rain and turn into a cold mess.  I’m just staying home waiting for the maintenance guy to come fix my annoying clogged disposal which has been out of commission for TG, so I guess I’m just snowed in!  I know the kids are loving it.

Yesterday (erev) Stacey made a beautiful challah, and we had warmed-up TG leftovers, so it was easy on me.  Stacey and S and I hung out all afternoon, checking out music and talking.  It was so warm inside, S and I had to run outside in the “AC” to cool off.  There are still piles of pie (“piels?”) of every description everywhere, because E in his baking frenzy made enough pies to feed the universe i.e. all of us plus his Friendsgiving gathering.  His confections and K’s elaborate cheesecakes were a big hit of TG.  They really are talented chefs.  When we were done with erev dinner, K jumped up and started making cookies!

While I was elsewhere, the latest jigsaw puzzle got finished.  Three pieces were missing, but miraculously I found them and S inserted them, so technically we completed it!

Tonight K is supposed to have a lot of her friends over for gaming, etc. It’s so gratifying to see the kids having such a rich social life with really intelligent, like-minded friends.  Some of them have become like family.

Note the veg garden doing fine yesterday after freezing temps.  But alas, the flowers have pretty much had it.
