New: Weather Pixies! Pansy’s is a good likeness; mine would be better if she wore eyeglasses and a plus size. But if she did, I guess she wouldn’t be a pixie. We are expecting more snow tomorrow and Thursday. The grocery store this afternoon was pandemonium. I hope our comments come back.

As long as I’m making a list…. if there’s anything you’d like us to blog on, or blog more often on, please drop us a note.
