the pace at which we run

From my gtalk status:

"it's good to hear Mom play piano again..."

After having such a busy year, for which 2007 probably tops the charts, it's good to start off at a relatively steady pace. With Mom being in the kitchen most of the day cooking for a million people plus one, it's such a blessing to see her just sit down at the piano playing upon the ivories like she's done in days past...

In other news, we received around 11 inches of snow the other day ago! Or at least the Springfield area did, I don't know the specifics for our place...the whole situation surrounding the weather change only could have been attested to Providence. During a time period of about nine hours on Tuesday, the weather dropped literally 52 degrees from 64*F to 12*F. Rain turned to snow, the snow drifted, drifts posed numerous problems to people, and people enjoyed playing in the snow (or at least we did ;). Today, however, the weather turned equally bizarre when sleet/snow/rain poured down with lightning strikes here, there, and everywhere. Dad already has a layer of ice on his car: around 1/3" from just sitting in the driveway. This is what we would call abnormal weather for the beginning of February.

The last time we remember weather happening like what was just mentioned?

19 years ago, the night before I was born. :P
