I made a 10 pound lasagna on Sunday afternoon. I forget how much heavy food goes into one of those things, but it was good. Brownies with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for dessert. Hey, it's winter. Our old friends Terri and George came over for dinner. They just got back from spending a month in Arizona, and were extolling the pleasures of the snow bird lifestyle. They made it sound pretty appealing.
The long term forecast for the Northwest: cold into the middle of March. Of course "cold" is all relative. It's been quite the winter for vicious storms, hasn't it? The Weather Channel started naming winter storms in 2012. Supposedly only storms that are "disruptive to people" are worthy of having names.
Except for a few dirty piles, the snow is gone and life is back to normal routines. The Ukes meet again today after nearly a month off. I'm sure we'll sound pretty rusty. They play pinochle at the senior center in the next room, and one of the card players usually makes a point of closing the doors to block the noise. No feelings hurt.
February is wrapping up fast, good riddance. The March calendar is packed with things to look forward to-- the Symphony, a musical show at the 5th Avenue Theater, and hopefully a weekend trip to Twisp.
