Windolfs in Winter Wonderland

This is no April Fool's joke - everywhere we look is white! However, the snow is only about an inch thick, and the roads are clear, so this is the sort of snow that is fun! It's great to sit inside and watch great, big, fat snowflakes drift down, wafting left and right in the breeze - especially with a hot chocolate in hand, and Mary Ann's great company.
Mary Ann and her friends Keith and Jan, whom we first met in 1994, thought we must be missing GREEN, so took us to a conservatory full of spring flowers - a wonderful place. we took in deep breaths of colour, and are back to enjoying WHITE.
We've changed our plans a little bit because of the weather - had hoped to drive to Northern Minnesota to visit Rochelle's mother, Polly, of whom we're very fond, but the snow up there is much deeper, and many roads are flooded, so we're still in Stillwater. We'll collect our car today, and hope to visit Rochelle's sister Jacki in northern Wisconsin at the weekend, before heading west. In the meantime, we've been enjoying a bed that doesn't rock us to sleep, good food, and lots and lots of games of cribbage - Life's good. We're thinking of all of you at home - hope that wedding plans are going well for Rick and Jill - hope that David and Tina's belated honeymoon in NZ has all the snow they want! Love to all of you, wherever you are, and whatever the weather.
