Winter yuck

I am sooo sick of snow and winter in general!  Spring cannot come fast enough! Uggg...


Here is Daughter Lucky helping me shovel our driveway.

There were a few bright spots in my day yesterday though.  Stephanie of Loft Creations invited me to a lovely lunch at her home.  I didn't bring my camera but you can see all the yumminess at her blogsite.  Thank you Stephanie! (and Abby too for all the wonderful puppy attention I got!)

Daughter Lucky invited me to the ballet last night.  The Columbus BalletMet put on Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream.  We braved the cold and had a wonderful time.

Lastly, we got a Valentine's day card from our son and his lovely fiancee. The front of the card has a puffy frog with googly eyes.  Well, as you can see from the torn envelope that the card went through some wear and tear at the post office. Apparently those googly eyes were poking the envelope just enough to get caught in whatever mechanism the post office shoots mail through.  Both eyes were ripped horribly off poor froggy.  I found one in the envelope and precariously layed it back in one eye socket but the other is no doubt rolling around on the post office floor somewhere.  Now you know the dangers of sending animals (or amphibians in this case) through the mail!

  9. Well to me the snow looks so pretty, but as you know that is because i have never seen snow nor had to live with it. The lunch you had looked delicious and i'm with Lisa if i could send you some warmth I would.

  10. Well the card was a sweet thought. I am so glad our snow fall is melting where I live. I'm super sick of it too.
