Holiday update

  Yesterday we packed up the car and headed north to spend the day with Pinky's family. It was really nice to be somewhere out of the reach of cell phones. (shhhh don't tell anyone) I think I love Leyden as much as Pinky doesn't. However we both understand that for now, that is not our choice of lifestyles. I think it also helps that my in-laws are two of the most amazing people I know. They are just sweet as all get out, creative, generous and well, heck, they like me. There was, as always, too much food tempered by a long walk to the beaver pond, the sheep and back. Even my brother in law was on his best behavior only competing with Pinky in that brotherly way to the point where it was noticeable. Not even mildly annoying! There were some pretty rockin' gifts all the way around but my favorite was the iPod we bought for my FIL along with the iTrip so he can listen to his own music while he plows. He works for one of the local towns and as some of you may know that means he is on the road for 12 hours or more straight. He was like a 7 year old with the world's largest Lego kit as a present. Totally the best present of the day. :) 

 SNow coming and the blizzard warnings are up. Tomorrow will be a bit of a challenge and I am honestly hoping the weather is so bad they close the offices. *crosses fingers* 

  Ok, time for a little cleaning and cookies. I hope everyone had a great day and stays safe and warm tonight.
