Snowy Saturday

The weather forecast for today is snow and lots of it. Between now and tomorrow, at last count, it was supposed to be 8-12 inches of snow. That's a lot of snow and guess what - I am the only one home. Larry and Greg had hockey tickets to see the Penguins play the Washington Capitals in D.C. They made plans to stay overnight tonite and come home tomorrow morning. They almost cancelled because of the weather but decided to leave really early today and get to D.C. before the snow started. They got to the hotel by noon, checked in and had the rest of the day before the game to have fun. Greg just called and said they went to the Spy Museum and the Smithsonian American History Museum. He sounds like he is having lots of fun. I'm glad they went even though I was a nervous wreck about them traveling in the snow. Tomorrow, they will probably wait until the roads are cleared before they start home.

Casey, meanwhile, is at Casey's house and they are waiting to see if Bridget (from NY) has to go home tonight or not. This will determine whether or not Casey is home tonight. I want her to have fun but I sure could use the help tomorrow in clearing the snow. I have pre-warned her that I can't get her until the driveway and roads are cleared. So, I may be on my own with the animals riding this winter storm out. Maybe I will put a fire in the fireplace, have a bowl of hot soup and enjoy the quite. I do miss the comfort of my family around me though.


I started making Valentine's cards today using these cute pics I took of the animals. I think they will be a hit with everybody (plus candy).



I am so excited because I get to take 2 classes with Donna Downey. She is coming to the scrapbook store in Quakertown and I signed up for the 2 Friday classes she is teaching. She inspires me in scrapbooking in so many ways. I am taking her online Big Picture class and am enjoying it quite a bit. My creative mojo has been missing lately because I have been dealing with losing my job. However, I think things will start to turn around soon. I found out that I get unemployment for 26 weeks for almost 3/4 of my salary. This will help me out as I continue to seek a new job. I am glad that I don't feel the pressure to go back to work immediately and can find a job that works with my schedule and my interests.

I have to start thinking about my summer plans - first our trip to Ireland and then coming home from that and going to CK Valley Forge. I hope Cathy Z. wants to stay overnight and take more classes. If she doesn't, I definitely will even if I have to go by myself. I am also going to try to work in a trip to Columbus to see Jim and Joe. Good thing I have the time to pursue all of these trips.
