Conclusions: the paperwhites made the trip (see white background); the paperwhites are continuing to open (see picture from the 30th). Loving how the house smells!

New Year arrives dramatically
Sunday, 1 January 2012
Me and Mom, some years back.

To further remind us of her power, Mother Nature welcomed us to MI with blowing snow. Thank you, Lake Effect.
Even so, the lessons of our Midwestern teenage-driverhood refreshed quickly, and we made it (thanks to superb piloting by The Guru) past icy stretches that sent two vehicles—that we saw—into the ditch.
And the new year begins….
