Wow. Not a toll free number. Just today’s date. Thanks to Jaden of the Steamy Kitchen for pointing out the pattern in her post two weeks ago when she mentioned that today is her birthday.
Wow. I had hoped that the snow was gone for good this season, but we got a dusting on Saturday. of course, that was just enough to make it a bit yucky to travel in. The driving was good, but getting in and out of the vehicle was an exercise in keeping little kid’s nice “birthday visiting” clothes clean. If I had been able to secure a truck for an hour, I would have had to move furniture in that yuck as well (buying a couch and chair from a co-worker).
So, this morning, it was chilly - around the freezing mark - but there were only a few flakes of snow to wipe off the car. The ice has cleared on the river on our end, down from the dam. So, now its the dicey exercise for NB Power to open and close the dam to try and minimize the flooding along the river valley. The water level has risen to about 2 feet below the “overflow” point as of this morning, so it might be us that floods. We’ll see.
About 3 weeks ago, Abby constructed a chain out of construction paper. She had counted the days until her 6th birthday and had created the chain with the number of links to correspond with the days left to her birthday. She’s been taking a link off the chain every day since. Today, the chain shortened from three to two. That’s my imaginative girl! I would have just “X”ed the calendar if I was inclined to count something down (my birthday is not on that list of things, though. LOL).
