Traveled to New England last week. It only snowed a little, but man oh man, was it cold. It was a quick trip, visiting Providence RI, Hyannis, Boston, Mystic and Essex CT in 3 days. We don't let grass grow under our feet when we travel, that's for sure.
Got home to find so many birthday cards from all of you! I could not figure out how everyone knew I was having a birthday of some significance! And I was thinking "man, I never remember any ones birthday, how does everyone remember mine!" Then, I found out that my darling daughters had been conspiring with all of you, my friends, and EVERYONE knew it was my birthday. Thank you to all that contributed to my birthday book. It was a huge surprise, and great fun.
On the Sunday before my birthday, Bert had planned a small dinner at our favorite bistro. Unfortunately, about noon, it started to snow. Big fatty flakes that covered everything it nice snow. Not like that horrid ice that piled up two weeks ago. But, it was slippery enough that we stayed home and had a little dinner with just us.
On Tuesday my co-workers surprised me with a party in the office. John even bought a bottle of champagne, and the rest of the day passed in a bit of a fuzz!
We (the PVA staff) spent the last 2 days out in the Shenandoah Valley, at a little inn call the Inn at Narrow Passage. The boss likes to go there, and it is a cozy little inn with a work room that is perfect for our vast staff (10 this year!) to plan our strategy for the coming year. The inn was built in 1786, and when we got out there 8 or so inches of snow decorated the front yard of the inn. Very cute!
So, I hope this is really the end of winter, but I doubt it. Weatherman says it will be 28 again by Wednesday morning. Glad I am leaving for Cincinnati!
