What a wonderful surprise it is to find new entries! Loved yours, Peter, about Dad's slide into the ditch - too funny - and dancing with your favorites at the Town Hall Theater!
And Grady, reading your latest is too funny also. Not only do you guys have story-telling gifts, you somehow have stories happen to you. The non-English-speaking grandmother/mother-in-law/housekeeper/spiritual adviser person you had to contend with was a real test. I love your cool.
And as for cool, we're snowbound again. We await the front end loader that will dig us out. This happened a couple of years ago, the famous Valentine's Day storm. We weathered that one with no problem and we can manage this one, too. Indeed, we keep saying how lucky we are to have electricity, to be safe, sound, warm, dry and connected by phone and computer.
Today is Patty's birthday, which took me completely by surprise when I was reminded by mention on VPR that today is the 100th anniversary of the declaration of International Women's Day. I love that coincidence. And on another March 8th, on a Children's Art Exchange trip in Kasakhstan, I had a marriage proposal from a young man there who wanted to get to the USA. Imagine that! Quite a day, March 8th.
She, Patty, had to snowshoe to get out of their yard today on her way to Stowe for the NCAA's. Peter, you have given her a ride into town to the college van she has to dig out for the next leg of her journey today.
I was to have done my shift at Charter House this morning, but instead I am working on organizing the pictures of Middlebury UU's which I have clipped from newspapers since 1993, with the goal of mounting them in scrapbooks for the church archives. A fun project.
I check this blog site several times a day and the day is made when someone surprises me with an entry. Where in the world are the Rosses? These two are up on the ridge over Cider Mill Road, hoping that the storm predicted for tomorrow is as forgiving.
Love to all,
GrAnn
