No cabin fever yet but it may happen! Another snowy day in Moosup but after Grampa shoveled the drive way of a measly couple of inches we were off to breakfast and then got the Providence Sunday Journal and some necessities (milk and toothpaste.) Will more than likely stay in for the day. I won't even venture out to Mass and we'll not be going to Arturo Joe's for dinner. We'll just have homemade applesauce and pork chops for dinner accompanied by a Piesporter Goldtropfchen Riesling Kabinett 2007 right here at home.
Had a great day of sports yesterday as the UCONN men and women's basketball teams won and the football team won its bowl game in Alabama. That was so cool. I'm not accustomed to watching football but I found it pretty exciting. The best part of the day came when the mail was delivered very late and we received a package from the youngest child! What a lot of fun to read her translation of her cover letter! She makes me laugh. The Moon Shines Still, a bluegrass CD from England, is super. The Frank Turner, Love Ire & Song, a double CD is quite different for us. His music is quite good and interesting but the lyrics are out there.
I was just interrupted by the phone ringing and it was the youngest one returning our call. It's so nice to talk with her. She filled us in on their ferrets and the snake. All of the animals are rescued animals and are doing very well in their new home. She's looking into the cost for us to fly there this summer sometime but right now she said that it's outrageous. So we'll wait and see what she can come up with. The weather in their part of England has been almost as snowy as it is here. They don't plow the roads except right in the middle of town so they are driving on snow pack. Not fun. The main roads stay somewhat cleared because of all the traffic. I think I prefer our plowing system. Of course they're not used to getting much snow. She said the grass was showing through in the "estate" where they live but the roads are packed snow and now it's snowing again. Can't wait to see her. It'll be over a year since we went to her graduation.
