Yesterday we drove to Olympia to have breakfast with Stella and Al. We were supposed to go to their house for a New Year party but the weather interfered. It was lovely to be able to visit and talk. I'm so lucky to have good friends.

We headed home early because the roads were icy, with entire sections of I-5 between Fort Lewis and Lacey quite slippery and frightening. Or rather, I was scared. Byron learned to drive in Colorado. He listened to his old warped cassette tapes and hummed happily. The rest of us fell asleep.

Snow is such a rare experience in these parts I can remember no more than a dozen storms. I'm excited that there may be more snow tonight.

Last week the children sculpted a snow kitten and named it Skid Bladnur.
