We had a busy weekend as Kathy and John were visiting. The original reason was to celebrate Kathy's milestone birthday but the celebration got added to when Kathy and John became first time grandparents. So there were lots of trips back and forth to the hospital in between which we squeezed some birthday celebrations. We played a couple of rousing games of dominos, which turns out is a lot more fun than I would have imagined. But that could possibly due to my limited imagination at this point in my life. It also could have been the alcohol, because much like Yatzee, we found that alcohol really improves the games enjoyment. Anyway, we capped off the birthday celebrations with Sunday brunch at Lake Park Bistro where the sun was out, the lake was beautifully blue, and the birthday girl welcomed another decade.
Then on Monday came some snow. We have had a fairly low snow winter so far. Just a couple of light snowfalls of an inch or so, but nothing I would even consider breaking out the snowblower for. Monday into Tuesday brought a one-two punch with a snowstorm moving through the area and then due to its rotation, lake effect snow. So we landed up with somewhere around 6-8 inches. Enough to finally break out the cross country ski gear and get a few miles in gliding through the snow - well we mostly just walk on skis, but in our minds we are gliding. It was nice to get out and enjoy the winter a bit instead of just bearing with the cold.
