I'm back in Massachusetts now. The drive from New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon took under three hours, rather than the six hours during the storm Friday. We had a great extended family dinner last night, and then I got to meet my puppy nephew Schnitzel for the first time.
Schnitzel is a 9-month-old labradoodle. He has gotten huge since his
early days, and his coat has become more poodle-like in texture and coloring. He is wonderful and adorable, and I am a proud auntie. I took a lot of photos. Here are a few, and you can get to more by clicking through on any picture.
Today I went for a run in cold weather, and it wasn't a problem. I had lunch and much great conversation with
desireearmfeldt, who I hadn't seen in I guess about a dozen years. Later, more friends, more family, and even some more snow. I'm having an excellent vacation so far.
