Re: Hello Yet Again!
Hello everyone. It was nice to receive the email. Life has changed I am retired now. But it is good. Just quiet without the daily school bells. I spend my time taking care of my husband, tai chi and riding horses. I shall bookmark the site and visit you all.

Snow in New York
The snow is still melting here in Baltimore, schools still closed. But I think enough will melt away we can return tomorrow. Lots of shoveling for days, lots of refreezing ice at night.

Ranked #1 snowfall in DC/Baltimore. Drifts were about 6' or more, had to shovel side of house 3 times to keep the heat. But no school today.
