Thanks, Mark! I don’t know if missing the storm was a good thing or a bad thing 😉 But being in NYC at all is definitely a great thing! I must go see what you’ve posted 🙂
😊 Schools remain closed for the rest of the week and not all roads are completely plowed, but it’s amazing the monumental effort put forth by those who have worked round the clock to get the area back on its feet! And the weather has been sunny and above freezing so there’s been a good bit of melting (which is all relative, of course 😉)
Ah, I used to love snow days! No school, and then as I grew older, no work. I should have stayed back east. Now I have no excuse except sickness. I plan on seeing a lot more photos of snow from you and Joe and Patti!
Yeah, what do you get out there? Excessive heat days?? No beauty in that even if you did 🙂 Laurie was much more prolific than I, posting one each day. I need to see what Joe’s been up to! I only took a handful – guess I should see if any others turned out 🙂
Yes, we get excessive heat days. But we also have air conditioning so there is usually no excuse- unless the a.c. is down, which happens more frequently on home units than in businesses. I must admit I was wondering if you made it through the snow storm as you haven’t been posting much lately. Then I figured you and hubby were probably canoodling now that the nest is empty- and you’re selling your house? Or is that something I made up, along with the canoodling?
Ha! Great word “canoodling.” Reminds me of “padiddle” and the practice of getting/giving a kiss when one was spotted (I’m pulling from my Michigan college days, now 😎). And if you have no idea what the term means, I refer you to google 🙃
As far as any canoodling going on, I’m too tired from all the “decluttering” I’m doing 😜, which is why I’m not posting as much. Under deadline to get house as decluttered as we can for the painter and his fix-up crew. And I leave in less than two weeks for a three-week stay in Boulder. Am I stressing? You betcha!!
Wow, you’re old! It says the game padiddle started in the 50’s. But you look so good! Oh, well. Anyway, same story at our house, I come home from work wanting a little canoodle and my wife is too tired. It sure wasn’t like that when we were single! So, you’re not selling your house? Where’d I get that idea? We’re putting ours on the market in March. But I think I told you that. Well stop by occasionally! I miss you. And have fun in Boulder. I expect lots of photos.
Young at heart, Emilio 🙂 As for the house, the plan IS to sell but by the time we finish getting it ready, I’ll probably love it so much I won’t want to leave 😉 Yup, you did tell me. So we’re both doing the decluttering thing! I have been remiss in visiting you – I’m so sorry 😦 I promise to do better 👍🏻 Boulder and pictures – a few shots here and there perhaps, but not a photo-taking kinda trip this time.
Thanks, Reinhold! Turns out it was the perfect moment to emerge from my house with camera in hand. I truly couldn’t have planned it any better had I tried 🙂
Hiya, Cate!! Sure makes the neighborhood look especially nice, doesn’t it? Are you bummed you missed it? LOL – I’m guessing not, given your snapchats of LA temperatures while all this was raging 😘
It’s been relatively balmy since the storm, West 😉 Sunny skies and just enough above freezing to hasten the melting process. The size of the snowbanks from the bulldozed snow is amazing though!!
Yup, it’s all about the shoveling, Desley, and I’ve definitely had my fill 🙂 Every time we got the end of the driveway shoveled, the snowplow would come by and push it right back in front. After that happened three times in one day, I gave up (and had a glass of wine!) 😜
Lovely picture! We took advantage of the lull in the storm at midday yesterday to walk down to the Potomac River. It was amazing. Pictures and new post will be up shortly.
Thank so! We weren’t that brave….there was a 2 hour lull in the wind. The post & pictures are up now: http://www.exploretheworldwithyourkids.com. Looking forward to your comments!
So beautiful Stacey, the light after the storm. I was thinking of all my blogging friends caught up in the blizzard when I saw all the images on the news last night, and hearing it on the radio.
