Snow

It's been snowing this week.  And snowing... and snowing.  I don't mind at all.   We're safe and snug in our little house.  We still go up to the mountain every day -- at least once a day.  Friday and Saturday it snowed all day.  We had blue skies this morning, but they quickly turned gray and it is snowing again today.  We are under a winter storm advisory until 5:00 tomorrow afternoon.  Then we should have blue skies again.

The Subaru makes the drive up the 2.5 miles and 1,000 foot elevation climb on the dirt road and through the snow with no drama what-so-ever.  I'm really glad we made the switch from our gas-guzzling Jeep.

Les is watching football today.  I've been working on a client.  And Andrew is playing on his X-Box.  Andy's friend, Ben, finally came through with a move forward for Andy.  He'll be leaving us on the 13th to move to Seattle.  There is a music production school there that Andy intends to attend.  In the meantime, he'll find a job.  Since he now has some construction experience, hopefully he won't have a hard time finding meaningful employment.

I'm glad we were able to help him out.  I've always heard that kids come back to the nest once or twice after they leave.  DJ, of course, never did as he's in the Army.  But he's expecting to get out in about a year.  After that... who knows?

But for now... the girls and I are just enjoying the snow.
