We’d love to stay but it’ll be another 6.5 hours to Pittsburgh so we’ll just head out after seeing you get hitched! It’ll be a great stop on our trip though :) though the dogs may not like being left in the car for two hours.

They'd predicted that snow would start again about 11 last evening. SirKit got up at 4am, looked outside and the roads were still clear. When he got up again about 8, we'd had an additional 6"!! We decided NOT to try to get to 9am Mass and Choir, going instead to 5:30 Mass, then went back to sleep. Finally rolled out again about 10 to get waffles going. Read my e-mail and saw that the Choir Director had e-mailed us all to stay home and safe and not try to make it to early Mass. WHEW!

Joseph was going to get ready for work, but we found they'd still not plowed our street; there was no way we were going to be able to get down the hill. So he called and told them he couldn't get there until the roads were cleared. We finally got the driveway plowed, and the roads were scraped, so he went in about 1, and just got back home. SirKit said that driving was certainly an adventure.

I think the snow has finally stopped, so we got 6-8" on top of the 10" we got the other day. Oh Joy! We'll certainly have a 'White Christmas', cause this stuff isn't going anywhere for a long time!

That’s a right nice snowfall plus what you had. Been a good long while since we’ve had that much on the ground at one time. Not that we’re complaining about that. :-)

Good Luck driving in the snow and watch out for the other guy.

I used to live an hour west of Pittsburgh, near Youngstown. Not a nice area at all. Even Cleveland was better than that.

Yeah, not nice. I grew up about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh, really nice place.

Gypsy got her walk, we were mailing Christmas cards (along with a fair percentage of theshire) and getting a paper from the paperbox (glad a couple were left). Getting chilly out there. The sidewalks were hit and miss with the snow shovels, mostly miss.

I scraped any remaining slush off the driveway (glad it faces south) and have laundry going.

That’s about it.

Evenin’

Well, Mrs. and Luke sang. Jr. went to work. Nana stayed home ‘cause Mrs. had to come pack and we had to get her to the airport.

Been mighty windy out there. Blew over a couple of Christmas trees and a plastic Santa. Got ‘em anchored a little better now. We’ll see.

I have given myself the rest of the evening off. Mrs. was going to make candy for my office mates, but didn’t get to it yesterday. She left me the recipes (and I have one of my own). But I’ve decided I really don’t like them that much anyway. I ~may~ do it tomorrow night. Probably not.

In other newz:

84. Because I counted back and, since we’ve been there, I’ve skipped every fifth year (next year hitting that mark).

85. Last time I took the year off, I lost 50 lbs.
