It was cold this morning at 28 degrees. In fact, the only other time on this trip I've seen 28 was at the Grand Canyon in Williams, Arizona a couple of weeks ago. There was frost on the grass. As the sun warmed the ground, a light fog settled over the lawn. Matt had deer grazing in his front yard. The day started out beautiful, but soon clouded over and the temperature never went above 44.
Jaime had to work today. Matt's job basically works four, ten hour days, or some version of that. That means he has Fridays off. He is chief babysitter on Friday and I got to help. Chasen, at two and a half, is all boy and a handful. He is at the age of no fear and he runs, climbs, dives, and anything else to scare the adults. He has a huge toy truck collection and constantly wants to play "park the trucks." Kaylin is a low maintenance, two month old baby who sleeps, eats, and on rare occasions will cry.
After Jaime got home from work, we all went out for dinner at Outback. Jaime's dad and brother were deer hunting in Ohio, so her mom Linda joined us. During dinner Jaime and Linda received text messages and photos of the seven point her dad Gary got this afternoon.
My original plan was to go to Justin and Amy's in Queensbury, NY on Saturday. But, there is a huge winter storm predicted in my path, so my plans are in limbo now. The weather service is predicting 6 to 12 inches of snow, depending on the temperatures, in some of the mountains of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the Catskills of New York. I may just head north to Buffalo, Syracuse and then home and avoid the storm. I'll see what the morning brings.........
No snow in Cortland yet and I have Canadian-brand ethanol in the refrigerator. You know what I mean :-) Always welcome here before you really get "home."
