snow day

Today is the first snow I've had from school in many moons, and I am so very grateful!

I know that nature sometimes throws nasty curve balls that wreak havoc in our lives. Such was the case with the earthquake in Haiti and so many other horrible natural disasters. At these times, nature seems reckless and unconcerned with our safety or order.

Yet, in smaller, more moderate doses, nature seems merciful in her ability to pause the busy pace of life. She breaks the monotony of schedules with the beauty of snow and gives me the opportunity to catch up on neglected homework, cleaning and sleep.

What are you doing with your snow day(s)?

Flat Stanley

My little cousin, Carol, is doing a unit in school with the children's book "Flat Stanley." In case you aren't familiar with the story, it is about a little boy who gets flatten by a bulletin board and can then mail himself to visit places around the world. And in case you are worried, he can also blow himself up with a bike pump so he can be normal.

So not long ago, I received a Flat Stanley in that mail, and we went on an adventure in Williamsburg. I've included lots of pictures though I only sent the most proper ones to Carol and her class. :)

True love
