  2. My goodness but I've had a time getting here! Somehow set Norton to scan multiple times and then opened multiple Firefox windows - and struggled to rectify both situations. Phew!

    I had a nice tea today: Starbucks mocha (whoever decided Starbucks should sell instant coffee deserves a medal!) and plain, white bread toast spread with "European Cookie Spread." That's what it says on the label. It comes in a jar like a peanut butter jar and has the consistency of peanut butter, thick and creamy. But it's made of, hmmm, biscquotti? so it
    has a sort of cinnamon flavor. Very nice.

  3. We have SNOW! Maybe an inch and a half so far.

    I planted Spring bulbs with my granddaughter, then went to the store, and when I came out with ONE BAG of groceries my car was covered in snow and it sure was coming down hard like a Nor'easter…even blowing sideways! So I had to drive home at 24mph behind someone who has not yet managed to get their snow tires on. Whiteout conditions, but my Mini Cooper did great as always.

    2. Here's the scoop on road conditions:

      There was a written article at this link that has been switched to a warning and a short video.

      This is the warning:
      9:24 PM: "State Police warn drivers to stay off Interstate 89 due to heavy snow, multiple accidents, whiteouts and slippery conditions."

      The video shows the very stretch of road that I drove home on tonight!

  4. Thanks for the good wishes on the submission!

    BTW I see no one took up the song challenge on the last thread. Well, it was a toughie. The title is "No Moon at All."

  5. My eldest is driving home from Rhode Island tonight.
    I won't rest until I know he's safely home.
