We got another 17 inches of snow yesterday. I would post pictures but I figure you guys already know what my yard filled with snow looks like. I have my driveway and mailbox all dug out and I cleared the snow off my back deck. The forecast is for warmer and sunny days for the next couple of day and I'll let the sun do the rest of the work. I am ready for spring. My sister is coming to town next Thursday. She will spend eight days here and we will celebrate mom's 88th birthday. She did call this morning with some bad news. The company her husband worked for just laid off 8000 people and he was one of them. My sister lost her job about a year ago and has not been able to find work, with the economy in today's world this is a scary thing. I think the worst is that they have lost their health insurance.
