Arctic Blast 2008

Our clever news studios in town have dubbed our latest storm "Arctic Blast 2008". It's actually very funny since 80% of the time they are wrong. But, it looks like they are right this time. We woke up to snow this morning and it's supposed to go all day and into tomorrow. Thank goodness it's Saturday! Karl and I decided to start early and take a long walk up to Mt. Tabor.

We stopped at Albina Press coffee shop on Hawthorne. They make some of the best coffee in the city. By then we needed a warm up and couldn't resist a yummy cheddar biscuit. Sustenance is important you know.






As we walked home the wind started picking up. According to the news, we're in for the storm of the year!

The gnome is scared!







We stayed home all day. Karl working on his paintings and me working in the kitchen. How much more perfect could a day get! I started getting ready from Christmas dinner. I am making a new beet recipe that has pickled red onions. So, to get a head start I made the pickled onions today. Hmmm, yummy.

Here's my little fairy in the front yard.....she's having fun playing in the snow!


Later, Sammy

I've been checking in frequently, eagerly awaiting your Snow Blog! Bruce has two performances of 1943 at the Hollywood Theatre today. So good, so far. One final show tomorrow afternoon (possibly) & then Kansas!!!! Merry, Merry!!!

love you both, Becky
