Or at least all but the piles at the corners of the driveway and sidewalk. It rained for most of yesterday and melted it all away! I couldn’t be more excited…it’s no secret if you’ve followed these posts for more than ten minutes that I hate winter. I’m sure we’ve still got one more snowstorm in store since that’s how it works here, but for now it’s been near 50F and my daffodils are almost blooming. I’ll take it!

First, let me say congratulations to Finland! Also to Slovakia…you played your hearts out, and no one can ask any more from you. That was a fabulous game! And now, we are a little less than three hours from the gold medal game. Will Canada win and increase their count? Or will the USA win and upset their gracious hosts to the north? I’m looking forward to another amazing game.

The countdown begins! The singer/songwriter/artist who happens to be a favourite of mine and my other half’s announced a couple of days ago that he’s playing a club located inside the minor league ballpark less than a mile from my house at the end of April. I just now bought our tickets. So…I realize that’s still some number of weeks away, but at least now I have an absolute outside time frame of when we’ll see each other! Plus, we’re getting to see a fabulous show for really very cheap. It’s a win all the way around.
