It's still snowing away! It seems to have picked up more now - well, the wind has! In the afternoon we ventured out. MIL was not so keen. She was really worried that I will trip and fall somewhere. I kept insisting that as long as it snows it will be okay and if we find it even one bit slippery then we will turn back.

So with that promise, we bundled up!  MIL had no boots to wear. Well, she had gotten one two years ago before their trip to Montana & Wyoming. But we couldn't find them. I think they are packed up and in the storage room that's locked up in the building basement! So, all she had were sandals and sneakers that were porous. So, I got the idea for her to wear socks, and then put a plastic cover (the ones we get at supermarkets to put veggies/fruits in) on each foot and using rubber bands to hold it up before putting the feet in the shoes! See, watching MacGyver really paid up! 

Oh and I inaugurated my new boots today and they kept me warm and snug the whole time! yay!

It was really nice to walkabout in the snow. We couldn't see where the pavement ended and where the road began. Our street not being a main artery was not cleared up (although we did see a snow plough go up as we were heading back home)!  So the pedestrians took over the road! It was such fun! We tried making snowballs but the snow was too powdery to do that. ah well. We just enjoyed watching our feet sink in and walking up and down the street!

We had fun with friends last night. Neighbors had to cancel, she was not feeling well.

We played some new dumb card game and really had fun.

Tuesday I am taking another neighbor to the airport, her son sent her a ticket.

Oh, how I wish I had time right now for a big ol' political rant, as in days of yore. I could really set some teeth on edge today. OTHER than my own. :)

It just boggles me I could be sharing a jail cell, potentially, with a right-wing Republican...for the same crime, committed for completely different reasons. Wow.

umsonst [r]: without restraint...

After all that cleaning and being productive, I settled down on my sofa and, listening to music, started reading about hieroglyphs, the pictures reminding me of the week in Egypt ("Hey, I was there! I saw that!"). After about an hour of that, and still listening to music, I put down the book and had what amounted to a nap.
Do you know the feeling when your body is asleep, yet your mind is still awake? I don't know how else to describe it. My mind was still following the music (Dag Wirén, for those interested), and didn't miss a beat, but my eyes were closed, my breathing regular, and anyone who had seen me would think I was sleeping. A very restful state of being.
I got up again in time for the Strictly Come Dancing final, and I'm now waiting for the result show, with a mug of tea and a small glass of sherry.
What a lovely Saturday.
