Snow Tunnel

We made igloos and snow tunnels and all sorts of fun - back breaking stuff!

The power went out just as I plugged in the heating pad for my back.

My God! Spring needs to come soon.

When I say we got a $^@! load of snow - I don't mean maybe.

(yes - that is me going thru the tunnel. For any Duponters seeing this - just look away! There is nothing to see here. Move along. Sometime there just has to be forbidden fun....)

SMG!* What Do I Do With All This French Toast?

*Snow My God!

(Thanks to R.K. for that one)

O.k., I'm not from around these parts - I come from Michigan where snow is ... just snow. So I don't, and never will, understand the whole "Its snowing! Let's panic like the world is coming to an end" thing.

The other thing I don't understand is what snow has to do with French Toast. The moment there is a hint that snow is on the way, the stores are packed with people buying up all the milk eggs, and bread they can lay their hands on. I can only assume that snow either induces exteme pan perdu cravings or that the toast is some sort of offering to the weather gods.

So, do I eat it? Leave it out for the snow gods? What?

Our Walk on Saturday

On Saturday, Gloria and I took the kids to the Brandywine Print Gallery in Northern Liberties - they were having a kids workshop.
The kids made relief prints (see other post for pix).
after the gallery, we went for a walk to South street - the weather was nice - about 40 degrees - that's nice compared to what it has been.
All I'll say is - South street is a whole 'nother experience when you have kids with you .......
Anyway, I took the opportunity to use this new app on my iPhone, Tell me what you think.

Zoom into the map by pressing the + button several times - get down to street level

Then mouse over the red pins to see the images, click on the images to see them larger.The images are shown on the map where they were taken.

My House Is a Very Strange Place

My evidence:

I looked out the front door this afternoon and saw the three of these nutjobs walking down the street with walkers and canes. I didn't ask why. Just asked them to come in and sit for a picture.

Lunch Up Close

Carrots, grapes, bread, and chocolate chip cookies up close.

I pulled out a little magnifying glass I had from work and a decent flashlight - and viola!
Lunch takes on a whole new look.
