Corgi Hollows is buzzing with activity. We have had so many appointments and events, new schedules and obligations that there has been hardly time for fun! jk
Add to that 8 inches of snow which took about 2 hours to drive home in----I never took the transmission beyond third gear! Slippery and icy.
Today Ed is out snow-blowing after the plow came through. Thankful for a plow. He came at around 2 am, and did the first sweep. The other guy showed up around 9 to tidy it up.
Still, the walks, steps and where the vehicles are sitting need doing. It's a beautiful snow, but it does require extra effort to get it cleaned up.
Today the girls celebrated Margaret's college graduation (on the dean's list!) at a lovely place called "The Mad Hatter" in Anoka. Grandma took us out for tea and chicken salad, scones and jam. Actually, that is what I had. Everyone, Cheri, Margaret, Grandma and I had something different. We shared, and it was all delicious.
I recommend!
The roads were melting in the longer February sun, and the sky was as blue as could be. It was a pleasure drive today!
Ed likes his math class at the community college. He had his first test yesterday, and we think he did fine. We'll see. This class keeps us pretty busy, as it's two days a week. It's a per-curser to his full-time PSEO classes starting next fall.
Today he took apart and put together again a laptop computer he was given by my good friend last summer. He got it running just right! Yay for Ed. I know I couldn't do that!
He's seriously contemplating a major that has to do with computers.
Margaret is keeping Uber-busy with making coffee drinks and tea, smoothies and coolers at Caribou Coffee. Recently she was asked to become a shift supervisor, so this is a good thing. A modest raise in pay will accompany! Every cent possible is going to pay for the next exciting thing in her life----FRANCE.
This morning she started her car and braved the snow drifts before the plows to get to the shop at 5:00 am to please the intrepid coffee customers on their way to work. She said it was rather exciting and even scary in a few places. I truly believe in angels, and they have been extremely active keeping her alive this past few months!
Ed is keeping up with his organ lessons. Cheri with cello and piano. We love to sit by the fireplace on mornings we can be home and do reading. Homeschooling, that is.
Those mornings are treasured.
My husband and I have started the spring season for our choir, the Northern Lights Chorale, and the program is gorgeous. I invite you to put one of our concerts on your calendar. We have three this spring, most weekends in April.
Trips. This Corgi family is going on the road! Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Duluth, and Moorhead. Lots of events and people to see! How exciting!
In between we want YOU to come over and ski with us. The trails are just outside the door, and we LOVE it! Stay over night and enjoy our fireplace with treats.
Recently we got a Raclette set at Aldi for $14.99, and if you know what that is you will smile-------------!
We had raclette with our friends in Germany back in 2012, and we considered getting the grill then. Too expensive! For the low price at Aldi I splurged, and what fun we've had since! We've had five dinner parties so far!
Come on over and we'll have raclette!
It's February, the cabin fever month. The month I dream of the Seychelles.
I love it here, though, and your company would make it extra fun.
Looking forward to seeing you :)
