Woke up to a light covering of snow here but tomorrow we are expecting 6 - 8" in the city. Since the city closes down for 2" and turns into a ghost town I can only imagine what tomorrow will look like! Sunday will be freezing rain and windy. I am supposed to go to my DD's boyfriend's parents house in Sandy for a latke Hanukkah/Christmas feast on Sunday but since they live toward Mt Hood they may have to cancel. I was looking forward to it. The boyfriend's parents are so much fun & terrific people and I like seeing them. My family and their wives/friends/etc are such a diverse group it is like the United Nations when we are all together!
Rc as usual your photos are breathtaking. I love the one with the dog. Lots of snow there!
Ladybug hope you get water soon. That's a difficult thing to be without. :(
Koka is continuing to be a great pal and just loves the snow so much that she dances around. She's still skittish around some people but warming up to the cats. She often looks like a coyote when she runs and plays and people are constantly asking me what kind of dog she is. No one has heard of American Indian dogs and they back away because they think she is part wolf. When I explain that these dogs are not and never were part wolf they let their kids pet her. I have heard her bark once in the past week but I am hoping that if a bad person approaches the house at night she will be a little more help!
Have a good day - how nice it is to have you all to trade stories and thoughts with!
