Also, I have to thank you for introducing me to Gosford Park. I went to Hastings and got a used copies of the dvd AND the soundtrack…have enjoyed both VERY much.

Oh, Kaye, what I wouldn’t give to see that precious robin. “Up here” in Michigan, we have not seen the grass since early January. Even our recent 40-something days haven’t chipped away at the snow pack.

I’m a teacher by day and a writer by night. Though I appreciate snow days, enough’s enough. We’ve had so many that we’ll have to make them up in June now. Four or five inches won’t shut us down anymore; they just keep making those mammoth piles in the parking lot bigger, and it’s off to work we go.

That said, we make our annual trek south in eleven days (but who’s counting)? Though I-75 doesn’t run through Nashville, we’ll wave to you as we leave Tennessee. Could you please send Mr. Robin to greet these winter-weary Michiganders?

Have a blessed Sunday!

I lived in the DC area fifteen years ago, too (left in Feb, 1993). I’m never going back anymore, hallelujah.

To live, anyway. *s*

We got quite a bit of snow in our valley in Oregon this winter. More than usual. It never sticks around long though. The valley is mild, but the snow stays in the mountains all winter long, into spring and occasionally, in spots, even summer.
