Puddle jumping & Friends

Temps exceeded freezing today! Woot! That means that the snow is getting slushy. Tonight when I stopped for gas ($2.09/gal still! gas prices going down my eye teeth!) I had to dodge the slush and puddles to go inside to pay.

There are pavement breaks on the side streets. And, no, that's not a bad thing - I don't mean break as in chuck-hole, but breaks of bare pavement slipping in between the icy ruts! Yay!

Yes, I am tempering my enthusiasm. I know full well that this is just February - and that we could get a huge snow at any moment. However - I can delight in the small pleasure that seeing pavement brings to me. It is a cause for celebration. It won't be much longer before I can get outside to walk - and just a bit longer than that and I can get the motorcycle out of the garage and off for an adventure.

Tired of winter? Who, me? Right.

Tonight hubby and were invited to the house of a young couple we know for dinner. We have known the woman since she was a small child - and we attended their wedding about 18 years ago.

It's been awhile since we have gone to someone's house expressly for dinner and conversation. It was very nice. Her parents also joined us, as did their two children. We had a nice tour of their new home - it has taken them about 6 years to build this log home. It is very nice.

Such fun!

'night, friends.
