Last night Jay and I were walking to Safeway to get a few things to tide us over for the weekend (since we're getting a big storm tonight!). We were about a block from the house when we passed somebody's tree in their front yard that had candy canes hanging all over the bare branches. Among the candy canes was a small laminated sign that said Help Yourself to 1 or 2! You know, that little gesture really made me feel good. It was just so nice to be walking in the dark and the snow and come across a Candy Cane Tree, ripe for the picking. We did indeed help ourselves to a cane apiece. The girls also took advantage while walking to the store this afternoon.
The snow is really coming down here now. They actually forecasted about 8 inches of snow tonight here in Seattle. If 2 inches was enough to make this city crazy, I cannot imagine what 8 inches will do to it. With a well stocked fridge and freezer, and a stack of dry firewood next to the fireplace - we my friends, are in for the duration. Wish us luck!

wow what a great idea. I bet it did make you feel good. Your weather is unbelievable...... we see it on TWC and the national news - last count was 13/14 inches. For a city that only ever deals with rain that is wild. Good to know that you are all safe and warm. What are the doggies thinking of this stuff. Lori has Verizon FIOS now so Kris can bring her computer on Wed. night and we can skype with you guys. Talk to you then.
