Snow!
I put off writing to this blog for a few days because Tom is migrating all our files to our new domain host. The old one had rotten tech support.
You can see a few posts at stidmama.blogspot.com for the days that I wasn’t posting here.
Check them out for pictures of the garden, and a couple smaller updates.
Yesterday, Lucky managed to drive one of his toenails through the back of my heel, creating a neat puncture wound. It hurt like the dickens yesterday, and is still tender, but quite manageable. I am going to zip into town briefly this afternoon to get a tetanus shot, just to be on the safe side. Meantime, no shoes with heels for a little while!
We are dealing today with a snow day — for a relatively small amount of snow. I wish they had simply delayed school today, because it looks like tomorrow the roads will be truly impassable. So no music lesson for the elder, no rehearsal or TaeKwonDo for the younger.
So, here are six pics from today. In order: the cars, the witchhazel, Tom on his computer, the elder boy in his den, Lucky waiting to play, and the younger doing research for his role.
Note that the younger boy is in a play about Chicago gangsters during prohibition, so his research consists of old films and newer films that spoof the films of the era. This pic he is watching Ziegfeld Follies made in 1946, a variety show based on the vaudeville era. It has singing and dancing similar to those in the play, Bugsy Malone Jr. in which he will be playing the role of “Fat Sam.”
