Snow Day

The last couple of weeks has had it's share of ups and downs. We were so excited to have our dear friend, Cindy (Ninny) came to stay with us. We had grand plans for her visit. Alas, a big snow storm arrived the day after she did, dumping 9 inches of snow followed by several days of dreary, gray, bitter cold weather. When finally the sun came out, we were hit with a terrible stomach bug that kept us confined to the house through the weekend.
Needless to say, we were all suffering from a major bout of cabin fever.

So when the sun came out and warmed the air, we took full advantage of some play time in the snow.


Even the dogs seemed to have lifted spirits...

And Mia, always studying, stopped to examine a pile of poop...
It was great fun. We played until the sun went down. Even then, a certain little girl didn't want to give up. And who could blame her? And, we were thrilled when Ninny decided to extend her stay by a couple of days to make up for the time she lost.

A heat wave as since melted the snow into an ugly, muddy mess, we said goodbye to Ninny, and poor miss Mia has come down with the terrible stomach bug.

I think we have had enough of Winter. Hurry up Spring!

Have to say, that was one of the highlights of this trip - of course any time with Mia is a highlight. She was so ready to get out of the house and run around a bit - the cold didn't bother her at all!

Thanx again for the hospitality. Can't tell you how hard it was to leave!

Loving and missing so very much!

Sorry to say looks like you will have to wait a while for Spring. Looks like she & Ninny are having fun!
