Leaving for Cleveland

We'll be leaving for Cleveland around noon tomorrow. The service for my aunt will be Monday morning at 10:00.

We're still getting snow. It's been a record snowfall for us this winter, but still we haven't been as hard hit during this storm as people farther east.

We could have another two weeks of this, but I would think by the middle of March, we should see some milder weather, and that will be very much welcomed by everyone in these parts, I'm sure.

Two days after my last post my aunt died in San Diego. The day of my last post was her birthday; she was 89. I had spoken with her on the phone on the 15th to wish her a happy birthday.

She used to read my blog, so it's been rather sad for me to come here and look at it knowing she'll never read it again.

She's being laid to rest in Cleveland and we'll be attending her funeral there on Monday.

She was the last surviving member of my dad's family and the youngest member of the family. I'll miss her and already do. We always had so much to talk about, and her mind was as good the last time I talked with her as it ever was.

We were certainly in for it. We lost our power for two days after the date of the last post, and it's been snowing off and on ever since. Snow is piled all around us. We got another onslaught of about 5 inches yesterday. This has been an unusually snowy winter for these parts. Everyone is looking forward to spring more hopefully than usual.

Lotsa snow!

We're in for it. It started as rain this morning then turned to snow. Looks like we've gotten six to eight inches and will get more overnight and tomorrow.
