Good morning, all--
The snow has finally quit falling and it's a beautiful first day of spring. Beth is home for spring break and she's just thrilled to be trapped in the house with her mother. No Girls Gone Wild here :)
Stan is in Washington D.C. for Close Up this week and he's a bit bummed b/c he spent hours and hours writing lesson plans for five days and now two of them have been snow days. Actually, he's just glad to be there despite the storm. He started pacing last Wednesday when the forecast started trumpeting the big storm, but he and his 10 students had the most trouble between here and York on Sunday morning and their plane left Lincoln on time.
I was worried a/b how Beth and I were going to dig out b/c our driveway always catches more and the foot of snow we got is really heavy (full of moisture, thank goodness). Last night, however, I heard something outside and there was a Good Samaritan on a farm tractor with a front-end loader cleaning out our driveway. It was snowing so hard I could hardly see him and still don't know who it was, but he made our work this morning much less taxing. And our next door neighbor and his wife came with their snow blower to get what fell through the night, so Beth and I are now free. Life in a small town is good.......... Actually, Allison found good neighbors in Lincoln, as well, b/c several came to her rescue when she was trying to dig out. She said she thought she'd have to buy a lawn mower b/f a snow blower with the winter we had.
Glad to see all the pictures you have been sending. And I'm thrilled to read the entries from the next generation. Niki, your room is striking and looks like something out of a magazine; I like it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on April 22 at Uncle Winfred's gala--can't wait.
Love,
Nancy
