Do Not Cry For Me Argentina

After another snowfall last week complete with winds, drifting, and obscenely low temperatures, I made the executive decision to close “The Christoph Connector,” a segment of footpath that connected the backdoor with the garage-front yard pathway. It was named after Christoph because he used this path everyday when he went to and came home from the bus. Now only stray animals venture on its unplowed ruts.

Yes. Here is the garage-front yard pathway that was newly created this winter for the heavy foot traffic of people (Sue and I) carrying snow shovels from the garage to the front sidewalk. I paced it out: by cutting the hypotenuse there are five fewer steps to walk in the horrible cold weather.

The city came by with a giant snow blower and actually removed the excess snow on our side of the street.

There is much more room to park here now.

They even lick each other now and then.

This has to be the fourth time Sue has made this carrot cake in the last month! We went to the Pfeifer’s house yesterday for our Tanzania Group One Year reunion dinner party. We had a really good time reliving stories of survival on the Serengeti.

Showdown.

Happy 51st Anniversary to my Mother and Father yesterday! They attended Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita, our Christmas gift to them that just happened to fall on their anniversary. Hope it was good!
