Snow Storm at Night After Sunday Dinner of Chicken and Biscuits!

I awoke this morning to a snow covered yard, as at least 8 inches fell overnight and more is expected for the day.  What a great day to stay in for the kids as it's President's Day and many of the neighbors have stayed up for the day.  Our limber pine in the back yard droops with large dollops of snow on its branches, the road is barely passable and the lake, which was icy yesterday, is now snow covered, perfect for cross country skiing  Tom and Nick and the Albarrans should all be in Big Sky, Montana, today and I think they most of gotten lots of snow over the past couple of days.  It should be  great skiing.

We had Ron and Linda over last night for chicken and biscuits, from The Barefoot Contessa's cookbook and it was the perfect comfort food for a snowy night. They head back to Murraysville tomorrow and we not sure about staying for the night because of the impending storm, but they decided that if it was really bad today, they would head back tomorrow.  The only reason they wanted to head back today was Linda has bowling on Tuesday morning with her girl friends.  They stayed till about 10:00 and we watched the bit about THE KING'S SPEECH on 60 Minutes, which we both wanted to see.

We went to be around 11:00, me to Arcady Renko in Gorky Park, my lastest reading book.

As I mentioned, yesterday was play day on the lake, as everyone in the neighborhood seemed to be out walking on the lake, enjoying the sun, the firm ice, the wonderful day off, without the worry of having to head home on Sunday because Monday was President's Day.

We just got back from working out at Turners, the first time Evie has gone since her dental work.  She cross country skied a bit this morning, but it was bitterly cold so we just stayed out for about 15 minutes. The workout went pretty well, as she felt up to a light workout, which is great for her.  All the neighbors are now on the way home, so we have the lake to ourselves once again, the way we like.  It looks like leftover chicken and biscuits for tonight, yummy.  Two nights in a row is fine with me.
