You haven't heard from me at all since the weekend storm and I have a reason for that. I had a special friend visiting from Texas this past weekend -a guy I met on my recent trip to Mali. Yes, I met a guy in Mali. How cool is that. So I was "stuck inside" all weekend with a wonderful guy. How could I complain about the first blizzard? And...he helped me shovel my snow. But he left on Monday afternoon. So now I will say - this snow, these blizzards, the cold weather...
