The snow showed up right on schedule yesterday
and proceeded to fall until the wee hours of this morning. We need a lot of
things but another 10-14 inches of snow was not high on that list. It’s hard to
fathom that the grass on the lawn was visible less than a week ago. I’m getting
winter of 2015 flashbacks. On the extremely bright side of the equation I no
longer have the driveway from hell to contend with and I have a whole passel of
ex-Californians in the house to entertain me.

Make no mistake, hanging with my
granddaughter transcends the usual definition of entertainment. I fall back on
my earlier statement that grandkids come along when you have enough life
experience to truly treasure them without any of the latent fears and
trepidation of being an actual parent. Working around my snow removal efforts
yesterday I got to watch a few episodes of Sesame Street which I think she
enjoyed a lot more than I did, she at least stayed awake for them. We also
worked on one of her puzzles together and she provided her usual expert advice
and counsel on my breakfast making techniques. I’m glad my daughter and
especially Wingman is getting a chance to rest and regain some equilibrium
after their adventures of the past week. I say “rest” with an automatic
qualifier because they are parents of a very active one year old.

The additional snow that fell
overnight made for a very active morning for certain retired Army dudes as well.
The snow banks at the bottom of the driveway are now too high to handle any
additional snow, the snow blower can’t throw it high enough. Our mail box is peeking
out of the side. I have to throw the snow two and three times in some cases to
get it away from the driveway and/or sidewalks. Fortunately I’m not the one
doing the throwing as my snow blower has been up to the task so far.

| The Birthday Girl Yesterday |
In far more tropical news my wife sent
some pictures from her birthday celebrations yesterday. She and her mom as well
as some assorted aunts and uncles went up into the mountain town of Boquete for
a birthday dinner. After she saw the state of our weather she wisely eschewed complaining
about the heat in Panama. We’re dealing with some serious winds right now which
is blowing a lot of the light snow around in prodigious amounts. I’ll probably
have to clear the driveway again tonight even though no additional snow has
fallen. That’s fine, I still have a little blog reader waiting to entertain me
when I finish.
