    Well I've been trying to go back to sleep for almost an hour and finally accept that it's not happening.  I am really bad about wearing color.  Since DH prefers less black, my color is now grey. I like to wear some blues as well. Exciting, ha?  Grey ooks good with my hair though :)  I know I never saw the news last night, so I've probably had six hours sleep.  DH hates it when I fall asleep with the tv on and moved to the guest room, which makes him so, so crabby in the morning.

    Joan, I hope you've had an easy drive to school this morning - are you seeing SF son in May?

    Val, yes, it would be a riot - can only imagine the noise we'd all make.

    It's a very big day for Seattle.  Lots of excitement about the Seahawks and the parade.  Lots of distress over schools that closed and schools that didn't, same with businesses.  This really is historic and if I had children who wanted to be there, I would skip whatever and take them.  Those who are there will remember today for so many reasons. 

    Mmmmm....I think I smell coffee!

    WOW...........Philly suburbs got whacked.............Guess what............none of my kids have power........they all lost it this morning very early...........even their places of employment......so they are all home.........

    My youngest has a fireplace so she has heat, but she has everything else electric including the stove....told her to come here and eat...she is 5 minutes from me by car...she said Thanks Mom, but we are fine......

    So far I am good....but guess whatever got fixed the other day is holding up.............time will tell.

    Stayed home from work, my boss said not to go in.  Went back to bed and slept til 12:39 had breakfast and went out snow blowing.  My sister shoveled and cleaned off mine and her car.  All clear til next storm.

    My DD is flying in April 11th, having a baby shower the next day, she wants the Beatrix Potter theme.  Got some great ideas.

    Did Ducky have to run for her money at Township Line again???

    Ok Sheila - you can be snowcitygirl and I will remain raincitygirl.  Should we call you Snow for short?

    Joan - hope your drive home was ok.

    I cried a little today.......

    Some of you remember~~ stillverticle, Melissa Jenkins, a sister here at BCO, that was tragically lost to us almost a year ago now. Well, I have had several voicemail messages from her on my phone & I have not been able to listen to them since that tragic day. Well, I listened to them today because I am getting a new phone tomorrow & those voicemails will be lost forever. My nose is tickling & my eyes are welling up now as I speak of this....

    As I listened to her "talk" to me, I remembered our wonderful conversations....in that NC accent.....that laughter...... :(

    Much too sad...... lost much too soon.

    I know you understand. Some days we stumble a bit & today was one of those days for me....

    I need to redirect my focus. Please, y'all, tell me about this "broom" trip we're takin'. I need some fun!!!

    (((Val))) I can't believe it's coming up on a year...if you decide to keep those messages safe, you could record on your phone (if it has the feature) or even on a computer with microphone.Maybe you just want to remember her in your heart....it is an honor to her memory.

    My drive to work and back was uneventful.  It rained a lot and was not icey on the drive.

    one more storm brewing...

    Deb was wondering how much snow you got after all.  I forgot to check with DD who lives in MA.

    Ducky, how ironic that your kids were out and you were the one with power. Now they get how you wanted to stay home when your power was out.

    Sheila, dreaming of warm places with you!!

    Diane, I have the same habit....of falling asleep....and DH hates it.  He can't sleep if I'm not in bed and i can't sleep if I am.  LOL

    Stay warm!

    The weather has cooled down a little bit and has stayed in the low fifties for the past couple of days.  The orchards have begun to bud out and last night we were expecting a freeze.  Make sure you ladies stock up on pistachios and almonds now, because if the bud are damaged we may not have as much of a harvest.

    We are not on rationing yet.  Where I live we are not on metered water yet.  A drought may spur the local government to put meters on us.  Way back, during a drought I remember them only allowing people to water their lawns on specific days.  Once we landscape our backyard I have been looking into artificial turf.

    Yes, koi can be a lot of work, but they don't have to be too labor intensive.  It is a fun hobby and we have made so many friends around the state because of it.  A couple of weeks ago a national magazine about koi did a small "spotlight" on DH and I.  Twenty four years ago when I entered this hobby I would never have dreamed I would be so INTO it.

    Too early for me to write much (it is pre-coffee), but Meece I wanted to tell you that DS used artificial turf both here in SEA and then in CA.  Both times he ordered from Costco.....

    More later......

    Your travels to Alaska require a stop in Seattle, so I will see you here :)  April in Alaska is a big fat no :)  Warmth is what I crave!

    Dare I ask what red CFM shoes are?  Are they like FM boots?
