It snowed yesterday! Not sure how much, but I think about two inches. It didn't start until early afternoon, so Susan and I took our walk and I got back from WW beforehand. It's very pretty, but I was concerned because I had to get Pat to Manahawkin for treatment. I called to see if we could come early, and we could, so we were in and out of there in 20 minutes and home by 3:00--that was good.
After it stopped, fantastic friend Frank, our next-door neighbor, came over and shoveled our walk and driveway. The service does it if it's over a certain number of inches--can't remember how many--but I think it wasn't enough yesterday.
The rest of the day, Pat and I enjoyed being inside our snug home while the snow fell outside. I finished up various chores and worked on the photo book I'm putting together for Natsue, of Patrick and our family in various life stages. Gave Pat leftovers of beef tips, scalloped potatoes, and peas, and I had a small piece of (also leftover) chicken and a big bowl of Brussel sprouts.
Nice day, somehow, and I was content. Will now go out and see if the terrain is okay for walking. If it isn't actually icy, we'll go.
Five minutes later: Unfortunately, there's a lot of ice on both the sidewalk and the street. I don't want to risk a fall, so even if Susan comes over, I'm not going to walk this morning. However, I'm determined not to skip it altogether and if it improves, will go our usual route this afternoon. If not, I'll drive to the mall and walk the circumference twice.

MONDAY
