Boston snow

Tuesday was a LONG day, filled with Scout Executive Board Meeting, Charter Review and Presentation Meeting. and afternoon Board self assessment. In the evening was a dinner with award presentations and the like. Even though I excused myself before everything was over, it was way past my bedtime by the time I returned home.

Luckily, just before the day, another snowflake arrived, this one from daughter, Marie, in Boston.


Note the lowest one at the bottom.

Well, considering the weather she has had this winter, it is no wonder she could come up with such a lovely pattern.

Certainly having a bit of handwork to do, made the meeting ... if not go faster ... a bit less of a waste of time.

Believe it or not, I can listen and answer questions or make comments even better when my hands are occupied.


Now it is Thursday evening in Tokyo. I am skipping choir practice because in a few hours son, Ken, DIL Zia,and baby Ryden will come through my door for a visit.  Am I ready? You bet, I can hardly wait! Is the house ready? No, and even after days and days of sorting, it is still a big mess. All the cleaning I did last week has been un-done.  It is raining so the laundry is hanging in the house. Well, at least it is clean.

Hopefully the weather will clear up and we can go birding and enjoy the outdoors so we don't have to figure out where we can possibly sit in this place!
