Visiting the old neighborhood

I worked on a Wheel of Fortune Special Edition game Saturday, with Heather and Gabriel along for the ride. It seems the malfunction is an intermittent problem, but fairly inconsequential. After that casino crisis was remedied, we stopped at the store where Dave works and he walked by on his way to clock in after lunch. We had a good conversation and then he had to work.

We spent the afternoon visiting with our former neighbors, Janet and Paul. They wanted to meet Gabriel but since he is a cute kid, who wouldn’t want to meet him? True, I am a bit partial, but aren't all dads?

Visiting our former neighborhood brought back memories. There were no police cars or street brawls, and that was encouraging. Snow was falling so that may have kept the delinquents indoors. After having dinner with Janet and Dave Saturday evening, with much conversation and catching up on things, we headed home in the snow. Whoohoo! My excitement is not about driving home in a snowstorm. That part reeks, primarily due to drivers who don’t slow down in poor driving conditions. The snowstorm itself is cause for enthusiasm. We both love snowstorms. Did I ever tell you that?

Heather and I are holding off the spring fever but we did browse the garden center this weekend. Clearly, our gardening mania will kick in before long. Our love of winter still holds sway, but soon, the balance will tip the other way and we will wish we could be playing in the garden.
