Imagine our surprise today when we woke up and
discovered that school had been canceled. When I saw this
out of the window of my study, I understood why. So, Benjamin and Nathaniel
worked at cleaned the car
as Suzanne put a few more stitches in her knitting
and got ready to walk to town.
The car cleaning went on for a while

because Suzanne's car seemed to be doing ok
while I had a lot of snow
still to clear from mine.
This was the view to the street
and this the bush on the front lawn
as the boys continued working on my car

and the submerged garbage can
on the curb as the street was snow covered
in both directions and the trees across the street
were impressive as was the snow
on our driveway. The house had its majestic snow look
as I tried to find the bus stop
and then came back to the door
where Ben
and Nathaniel
didn't seem to care if Jane and Suzanne
ever appeared.
But it was time to start our journey with Nathaniel
Jane
Ben and Suzanne
along for the ride which made me happy to have my boots
at the ready. Nathaniel decided he had to tackle Ben a few times
and at the wedge, Jane and Suzanne crossed
as Nathaniel
and Ben
waited with me on the other side. Nassau Street was clear
as we marched on
to a side view of Nassau Hall through the bars
and up closer
and the standard photograph view
as we prepared to cross
Nassau Street
to make our way
down the street
with the clear sidewalk
and the snow covered bench
to Panera's where we looked through my shadow
into the window and saw Sarah and Laura (just barely)
and went in to see Daniel
Sarah and Laura
enjoying their lunches. We walked over the icy stretch
to PJ's
where Ben and Nathaniel sat
across from Suzanne
as I recorded the menu cover
and inside
and the bar scene
until Jane and Fred
arrived and sat down
so that the waitress
could take our order and they could bring the puzzle pages
for the boys to distract them from the specials
and from any worry about my Blair Witch self-portrait
as Suzanne
watched. Imagine our surprise when the ultimate frisbee team came in
lead by Juji.
Suzanne's salad
Nathaniel's pizza
Fred's burger (Jane had the same thing)
Ben's grilled cheese
and my pancakes (buttermilk, of course)
made it eating time. I showed Jane how I was progressing
and she did the same
for me as did Fred
before we decided to depart.
We took a picture of Jane and Fred at the movies (where they went a
few hours later)
and then went to CVS to look for pomade
as Jane
displayed her purchases
before we got the finger nail extenders.
Our next stop was Sam Goody's
where the cashier would not allow us to take her picture
so
I took this group photo
instead.
Back at home, the boys assembled
and took a group picture
before heading to Joel's birthday party. Jane modeled her nails
as the boys cleared the car
while Nathaniel's car seat
watched and a war broke out
all in the name of celebrating a beautiful day of much snow and
no school.
