Happy Valentine’s Day to all. I feel like there must be a Valentine joker who made my day disappear right before my eyes. I got up, walked with Shadow, had breakfast while reading the local weekly paper, and suddenly it was time to pick Ollie up after school. Where did those hours go? I had a flurry of emails about Encore business and did some research on possibilities for field trips for my Newcomers/Encore field trip group. Evidently that took 5 hours, or the Valentine joker simply made those hours disappear.

Heather and family are off to Vermont for the upcoming school vacation week to ski and snowboard. Heather and Jed ski. The boys snowboard. Last night Heather sent a text inviting me to come visit them next Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, they move from an Airbnb they are sharing with friends to one just they will occupy. And evidently there is room for Oma for a night or two. Pets are allowed, so Shadow and I might make the trek to Vermont. Otherwise, I have the whole week to work on a few projects I have been trying to find time for since November. So, I’m hoping the next few days are way more productive than today.
