Sunny Days and Game Nights

It was a beautiful, sunny day today...and actually above freezing! It is amazing how warm 32 degrees feels after below zero temps at night and frigid, wind chills during the day. We have over 12 inches of lovely snow on the ground! My hope that is that a good snow pack will kill off some pesky bugs and we won't be so "bugged" this summer. We told our kids that this is the kind of weather we had when we were kids; lots of deep snow that lasted until spring.

It was such a lovely day that I was able to trudge up to the clothesline to get some towels and a tablecloth hung out. The nice breeze dried even the towels.

The family is coming here tomorrow night for "Game Night"!! Since there are extended family from out-of-town, we thought we would indulge in a non-holiday funfest. Pizza is being served and, no doubt, enough finger food for a small army. I've been busy making cookies and gathering extra chairs and the card table. Speed Scrabble and Sequence are in the line-up on the game side of things. Who knows what else will be brought to enjoy. Thank goodness for my brother-in-law who could have fun with a paper bag. He has a quick laugh and is always able to create a good time for everyone. Our family's game nights have brought many of the kids' friends to join in.

If you are in the neighborhood, drop on in. We won't notice a few dozen extras--the more the merrier!
