The Bissell's Arrive Later Today

Drew, Jill, Halle, and Hayden

Another blah day outside, three in a row, wet, gray, some snow left, in the 30's, no snow fall in sight unfortunately, as the girls were excited to enjoy the great snow we usually have here at the lake in the winter.  It looks like we will be playing inside more than out unless the weather changes.

Yesterday was spent getting things ready for the girls;  Evie did most of the work with me as her helper. The girls room is ready, new pictures on the walls to make it look for 'girlish', some dolls and playthings for them to keep busy and most importantly, we turned on the heat upstairs so that all the Bissell's can enjoy sleeping.  We tend to like it cold, in the low 50's but most people like the temperature around 70.
Evie also made three soups, a couple of loaves of bread, and lemon squares, to compliment the peanut butter M & M's, a must when the girls come.  So, we finalize things today; Evie is making foccacia pizzas for dinners, with her soups, because the Bissell's will not arrive till 7:00 or later, depending on when they can get away and how the roads are.

I decided to try Vinyasa Yoga last night at 6:00, with a more rigorous group of practitioners.  And it was more difficult, as the leader moved more quickly and most of the people knew what they were doing.  I could keep up with most of the poses but did not move as quickly as others.  I returned home around 7:45, for a dinner of chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and a few episodes of Mad Men before we went to bed.

This morning I am off to yoga again at 10:00, then to Sam's and Weggies, to pick up a few extras for the  week, bon filet for our fondue on Saturday, some fresh veggies, things like that.  It's going to be a long day, waiting for them.  We cannot wait.
