The big storm has dropped a huge load of snow here in Skokie. I'm not sure I can open the front door -- there's a snowdrift about 3-4 feet high in front of it. The back has a sliding door, so if I really want to go outside, I can. Earlier I heard children from next door outside, walking and playing with their dog. I started a pot of black beans with smoked turkey wings and sausage in the slow cooker, then did the crossword puzzle and the jumble. Then watched a couple ot TV shows on Hulu. The house smells great from the slowly cooking beans. It's now 12:38 PM; time to hit the showers.
Life is beautiful!
