Glad to have a new raincoat

With 5' of snow in the mountains I'm glad I'm not on the roads or traveling.

It poured yesterday and just to go 15' from one building to another with a huge umbrella I was drenched from my knees down from the blowing rain. The kids were soaked.

The last two days have been difficult physically on my back. By the end the the day I was ready to head home.

Had some comfort food, pasta last night and may make bread and beef stew tonight. Stick to your ribs stuff.

I took the wreaths down on the front doors, Now it's time for the tree and all the decorations. It's 3 kings day tomorrow. I may make a 3 kings cake - la rosca de reyes with apples. (actually it would be a good thing to do with cranberries or those dried nectarines I don't like. It's a yeast bread.

I went out on the patio to pick a lemon for my tea and was soaked. Lacey is so funny. She wants to go out and explore but doesn't want to get her feet wet so she shakes them every step.
