We are scheduled to get our car, newly repaired and painted, back today or tomorrow. The optimist in me thinks that this might actually be the case, but one small piece thinks that it is more likely to be Friday or Saturday. I was being lazy and lying in bed, pretending to sleep, when C took his car with the catalytic converter problem (it had been stolen while we visited the Detroit Art Institute) to get an estimate on how much it will cost in money and time to get it replaced. As he roared out of here, I decided I had better get up an get this day going. We have learned that the estimate will be closer to $600 rather than the $2000 we originally heard. If you had read the blog of two days ago, you also learned that the dogs ate the chocolate truffles. They were fine and did not have to go to the vet, so no vet bill for $500. I did think that the dogs had a faint hint of a smile on their faces as they thought of the delight of eating chocolate truffles. At least they did not get sick or have to go to the vet.
We got 10 to 12 inches of snow on New Years and a bit of a dusting again over night. It is a winter wonderland here. C had made a snow cave and a snow tunnel for the boys and had taken Jon sledding. Christian did not want to go. I think that snow is clearly for the young. HW2 and I enjoyed looking out of the windows at a present day Currier and Ives winter scene. When we travel to Syracuse, NY, later this week we are hoping the storm is past and the roads cleared. Travel departure will depend on the weather of course. If you are in the path of this winter storm, we wish you saft travels.

Wow, you certainly have had the winter weather while you've been up there! We haven't had anything but a dusting since you left. Go figure.
