We have been experiencing the ups and downs of the polar vortex, not nearly to the degree of family further north and/or east, but we have experienced our share of snowfall, ice, and bitter cold. My own biggest problem has been with cabin fever because I have not been out much, other than letting the dogs in and out, or getting the mail. We did have one lovely day where it hit 60 and I stitched outside for a few hours, but then the sun must have rattled me because I spent the next afternoon picking those stitches out and redoing them...
I also enjoyed an outing Eric and I took to St Charles, MO to take pictures of things for Miss Alexis and her school project-- being the recipient of her flat Shannon, I took my role of tour guide to heart, as did Uncle Rei, and we took Shannon to the landmarks before mailing her back to the school. We had a February first deadline, and hopefully someone is at the school getting the mail in. I had fun doing it and hope Alexis is proud of what I sent back. As unusual as it is for Minneapolis, they have had 6 days off this month because of the bitter wind chills.
Not much else is new here, just the usual routine of kids out and about with school, work, bowling, friends, etc. Eric switches back to overnights in a couple of weeks, and is not doing so much overtime, so he's been bowling a bit more as well. One could say life is pretty static at the moment!
