Today it is very windy and cold!  The wind sounds like a freight train outside the windows.  This week was a beauty weather wise - unseasonably warm and sunny for February.  It was great.  The sun is shining today but brrr!  

I just took a nap with a "live" stuffed animal.  Rupert, one of my standard poodles and I curled up under a blanket and took a nap.

This has been a busy week.  Monday Bekah had Valentine's exchange.  Tuesday I went over to sit with Mum, who wasn't feeling well because of her arthritis. Tuesday night I had Stamp Club and I was in charge of the cards and snacks.  Wednesday night was PTO meeting and watching a dress rehearsal of "Goodbye Charlie".  Thursday was lunch and shopping with Mum, Aunt Karen and Anne-Marie.  Then After School Recess with Bekah, Desserts with Mum at the middle school and finally the band parent meeting.  Friday was actually a nice quiet day spent cleaning and running a few errands.  I spent my Christmas bonus and bought myself a troll bead bracelet with a small flower clasp.

Today just hanging out around the house and tonight we are working the lobby at "Goodbye Charlie".  

That's all for now at the D-H Zoo!

Well, here it is 10 days into February and I haven't posted since January 29th.  I've been busy with Groundhog Day, Book Fair, Snow, Rain, Ice, and bitter cold!  Phil saw his shadow so we are supposed to have an early spring.  I don't think he let Mother Nature in on his prediction because we have he 3 - 2 hour delays for school this week because of snow on Tuesday and yesterday and today because of the wind chill and since there is an advisory for tomorrow morning also there might be another one tomorrow.  Well, it is February so it is to be expected.  I'm creating Bekah's valentines for her class party on Monday.  I sent off a package to Gramom for Valentine's Day and tomorrow will get one off to Michael.
