Sort-of Snow Day Friday
Gahh!! Snow day again today. There’s no snow outside our window, or in much of the area, but I suppose they are using an abundance of caution in case any slippery roads remain. The boys braved the “treacherous” conditions (ha! ha!) this evening to go to the hockey game. I’m sure they were glad to get out for awhile! It was sort of a long week.

Read MoreMore Baking, and Jo’s Birthday

Even though the Carolina Hurricanes put up 45 shots (about 50% more than average) and the San Jose Sharks only had 19 shots on goal (about 33% less than average), the ‘Canes were shut-out in a 2-0 loss at home. On a positive note, a gentleman that sits near us got one of the free T-shirts from Stormy (the Ice Hog mascot). He had already caught a few in his time, and...
