Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

14 February 2010 51 views No Comment

Friday began with dark clouds scudding in from the southwest and progressed on to a pretty good, full-fledged snowfall by about 2pm in the afternoon. It snowed into the night, and when we woke up on Saturday it was absolutely glorious! Not a cloud in the crystal clear blue sky, and a crisp 25 degrees. I was finally feeling (almost) back on my game, so JT and I decided to go out for a walk around the ‘hood. Our first stop was of course Kavarna Coffee House, and on the way there we ran into Stev and Joy, along with Stella and Captain. Good thing, because I imagine their house would have been our second stop. Stev treated us both to coffee (well, tea actually) and we walked over for a surprise visit with Lisa, Jeremiah and the girls. I *think* Lisa was actually trying to get a little work done after having to cut out early yesterday to grab the girls, but it was way too nice of a day for that – besides, that is what Sundays are for, right? After we drank all of their coffee and were politely invited to leave, we ran into the Breault clan on the way home from McCoy park. Joy of course had let everybody know who was the boss by thoroughly “Joy Handling” the girls into submission. She pounded Kore into submission as well, I guess just for good measure. After Jen and I made a couple of snow angels, and checked out a few of the better neighborhood snow people, we headed onĀ  home for a fantastic low-cal (yeah right) duck egg and sausage breakfast pizza. We then holed up to watch the rest of the winter Olympic opening ceremony (I only made it up ’til Ghana the night before) and then men’s ski jumping from the “normal” hill and the men’s 5000 meter speed skating. Those dudes are so fast it is quite unbelievable… In the end, not a bad day, all around. As always, click on the thumbnail for a slide show.
