Winter in Wisconsin

I got up to 11 inches of snow this morning. Apparently the storm got downgraded from a blizzard to a winter storm, to the dismay of our hysterical news people, but its still going to give them a full news day, with the ability to talk about staying up all night, etc. It looks awfully pretty, but it doesn't seem like its nearly as bad as they predicted in terms of wind.

Bridget didn't have to go to work yesterday due to the storm, which pleased her greatly. We ran out to get some movies, so spent a night around the TV. Today may be more of the same after the snow gets moved. We did manage a trip to Brookfield Square yesterday. The Ford Model agency was having an open call, so Bridget wanted to try her luck. They just took pictures and said they would contact her. Another store was doing something similar so she registered there and also checked out when Boston Store has their prom dress fashion show. She' s been wanting to check those things out. She's glad that no one told her she was too fat but who knows how this will turn out. Probably nothing will happen.

Lucy and Liz really like snow and they are having a blast leaping like young pups through the white stuff. Its pretty funny when they bury their noses and all you can see are tails.

Sounds like the Boise folks had a great time in Denver with their great hosts. To assist Freya in her pursuit of girliness, I found a cute pink dress that I knitted for Bridget that she agreed to send to Freya for her to wear when she gets a little bigger. Its pretty simple, but has a lacy pattern around the bottom and the bottom of the sleeves. Even Bridget, whose girliness came much later, despite Michele's best efforts, liked it.

The ET kids had Friday and Monday off anyway, so no snow day for them, but hopefully they can get some snow sports in. I don't think we're going anywhere today.

Well, I have to do some work this morning. I still do all the billing and some of the financial work for the clinic, so part of the weekend is usually devoted to that. We are starting to do some serious planning for getting the basement finished again, so its a good day for that, too. Hope everyone is safe and warm and enjoying whatever their situation is. Love to all, Susan
