Daffodils and Snow?Yesterday there was snow on the ground when I left the house. Not much snow but enough to cover the ground and the grass. The streets were clear, thank goodness. So I headed out to the community breakfast in Renton about 15 miles away. Only a block or two away there wasn't any snow at all. You wouldn't have thought that snow had been falling at all. Later that day in Tacoma while I was at another education fair, I guess the snow began falling again while we were inside. However, when I came out to go home there wasn't any snow on the ground and the sun was shining. Go figure?
This morning all was good until around noon. The snow began to fall again and it fell for hours. It didn't "stick" at first but after a couple of hours it became cold enough for the snow to stick. I started to worry that we would have to go home early so that I could get the boys. Kari, however, was in the valley where the boys were and it wasn't snowing there. The daycare workers were not experiencing what I was in the hills. Weird huh?
I am thankful that it is Friday night and that as I write this the boys are playing trains around me on the floor. All feels right with the world for the moment.
Dave is tired because they have been moving his office. He will be working only 2.6 miles from the house rather than 15 miles (30 miles round trip). That will help with gasoline with the price of gasoline going up. Here in Seattle I bought gasoline tonight for $3.29 per gallon at ARCO (which I sometimes think are not giving us what we should get at the pumps). It was below two dollars just a couple of months ago. It changes so much I can't keep up. Mom said that they are paying $3.56 per gallon in L.A.. So we are doing a little better.

Pat Cashman
Today at the breakfast we had the opportunity to hear Pat Cashman as the keynote speaker. Pat Cashman is a local celebrity that has been on TV and on the radio. I personally have seen him a few times since I've been in WA. Once I received an award and he was the one that presented it to me. He is a very funny guy. There is a link to his website you can go to by clicking on his name.I haven't forgotten the pictures. I will put them up for Sunday Snapshots I think, so I will have something. Have a good evening.

That light dusting of snow looks so pretty doesn't it, but isn't it late in the season to still be getting snow?
I see, so when you add a comment on blogger, it draws your profile pic from that, but I also have a profile pic and mine doesn't get added when I add a comment. You'd think it would. Another blogger mystery!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Huggers.
