Pandaberry Trail

I hosted my first painting birthday party at the art center, so much fun!

I was sore for 3 days after this. That was some serious wind!

After:

We were hit with another snow storm. This time, rain followed the snow and then froze. This made all the tree branches heavy and many trees fell around town. Our power went out for 2 days…during Casey’s exam week. We basically camped in our cold, dark house. Fun times. That first shower after the power came on was magical. 

Best husband award for making me a crushed pill in applesauce when I was sick.

We went to a charity basketball game: Med students vs. doctors and residents. Yes, I still went out in 4 degrees to walk dogs.

I volunteered at a painting fundraiser for charity.

And Penny was cute as usual.

What the heck are you lookin’ at, buster?

Due to the “Blizzard of the Ages,” Casey’s school got cancelled and all of my stops got cancelled too. That means we have the whole weekend to do this: Bring it on Storm Jonas! We and our cross country skis are ready for you!

We’ve got a big snow storm coming this weekend! Oh boy!
