So enjoying this week 'off' from work...

even if I have to log on and work, 

it's nice to just do so at a slower pace.

Had a nice Christmas holiday with friends on Christmas Eve 

and family on Christmas day.  My daughter's family spent 

Christmas Eve night and Christmas night with us.

So you know what that means.... 

I got to spend my grandson's first Christmas with him and 

see him as he awoke.  It was sheer heaven to have him

with us.

NOT THAT DYLAN.... LOL, 

THIS DYLAN

ISN'T HE THE CAT'S MEOW?

Then came the ABOMINABLE SNOWFALL!

Causing the E-A-G-L-E-S game to be postponed until tonight,

a Snow Emergency in the city and everyone running to the grocery

stores so they could make French bread.  Still not sure why 

everyone wants French bread when it snows but the bread, milk 

& eggs are in short supply when that famous four letter word is 

spoken by the weather forecasters.... S-N-O-W!

Our weekend guests decided they'd better head back home to

the city when the Snow Emergency @ 2pm was announced.

They made it home safe and sound and have been cuddled up in bed

ever since they got home! LOL.

Luckily, it was Sunday and we had no place to go to so we could

just sit back, watch the snow fall and listen to the blustery winds!

Boy oh boy, were they ever loud and 

man oh man, did they ever make snow drifts!

(On our side of the street, of course!)

Snow blowed and shoveled our way to freedom by mid-day Monday.

Got out for appointment and a little shopping.

Worked last night for several hours and most of the day today.

The snow did cause a change in plans to visit with a friend

and catch up, but that can (and will) be rescheduled for

another time.

Cannot believe that tomorrow is Wednesday, Hump Day,

and we're heading towards the 2nd weekend of the 'holiday' break.

Who knows what things I'll do the rest of the week.

Shopping is definitely on the list.

More family time on New Year's Day and so looking forward to

that gathering with cousins and their families.  We always have

such a great time when we meet up.

P.S. (Pix collage to come once all the holiday parties are completed. I know, you can't wait!)
