Today is the 6th day (within a two week period) that all schools( north of Dallas) have been closed because of several inches of snow beautifully dusting dangerous ice beneath. So, to answer my daughter Ali's question "Are you still trapped by snow? Are you OK & do you have provisions to last?" . . . the answer is: "We're fine, honey! "
In fact, this scenary conjurs up memories of our elementary school days in New England (during Christmas Vacations when it usually snowed 10 feet it seemed). The highly anticipated routine: set up the Monopoly game in the living room (on a bridge table) for a game that would last at least a week! It was a lot of fun, and Mummy would always have freshly popped popcorn for us to nibble on!"
So have you been popping corn all week, then? How the students must be celebrating, not to mention the professors!
