...for another weather slap in the face.
Thank you for keeping us house-bound two weekends in a row.
Thank you for starting, conveniently, on Friday so that we will be sufficiently plowed-out in time for work on Monday.
Just thank you.

Agreed! Why can't the government close?? That would be nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout. Also, enjoy the 2 feet. I still remember being in 1st grade and getting 4 feet once. I lost both my boots in the snow and came in the house crying because they were too deep for me to get out and my feet were freezing.
