Did I blink and miss summer?

Today we are in the early stages of a major storm, and snow fall.  The fellow coming to give us the estimate, on the roof, called this morning and asked if there was any chance he could come early, before the snow started.  It started about 10 minutes before he got here. He told David that all of our roof vents are no longer up to code, and will have to be replaced.  The other quote talked about replacing them, but didn't say anything about code.

 Now, at 2:00, it's getting heavy, but we're planning to stay home and hunker down until it's over--hopefully, and according to the forecast, by tomorrow morning.  Oh well, it will probably melt by the end of the week.

The crazy old woman outdid herself yesterday.  Thinking it was the last Sunday in the month, she headed off to her ATC luncheon.  Her husband decided to go along, in case the regular car club display was on in the restaurant parking lot. It wasn't, so he dropped her off, and after setting a pick-up time, said that he'd head for MacDonald's, a long block away, at the far end of the mall, get some lunch, and relax with his book.  She went in and soon realized that it was the wrong Sunday. Knowing that she didn't want to stand in front of the restaurant, in freezing wind, and wait the hour and half for him to come back, she decided to try to walk to MacDonald's.  A long cold walk.  He wasn't there.  So, maybe he had decided to wander through the mall, before lunch.  Back she goes and wanders about half way down the mall, before sitting down and having a long talk with herself, realizing that it was stupid idea.  So she bought a magazine, and headed back to MacDonald's, thinking she could buy a cup of coffee, and wait for him there. Needless to say, by this time she was beyond thinking clearly about the new ordering stations in MacDonald's.  The first one defeated her, so she went to another one to start over.  Same problem.  An employee approached her asking " Are you alright?"  "No", she says.  "These things are crazy, and I can't get anywhere"  The "helpful" employee just stood there and looked at her.  So she walked out.  She was thinking of Erin and her challenges with the new ordering kiosks, as she started to walk back to the original restaurant, figuring that maybe she could sit in the bar, and read her magazine over a cup of coffee, and wait until the pick up time.  Fortunately, just before she got all the way to the other end of the block,  she noticed a familiar car parked behind the restaurant, and realized, by checking the license plate, that it was hers, and he was just sitting there waiting.  Not a good day.

Otherwise, this estimate marks the end of my "week from Hell", and I can relax a bit, finally.  So I sit and drink my coffee, and procrastinate for awhile.
