Checking Back With the World - And Meme
Still no power after the freak Halloween blizzard. But honestly? It's been kinda fun and exciting, and good for my kids and for my household in many ways.
I took my boys into Boston yesterday and we saw the Pompii exhibit at the Science Museum. JUST AMAZING. Couldn't believe the artifacts. And we never would have made it over there if there had been power and school and the internet and television in our house.
And, because defyingnormalcy invited me, I'm doing this meme.
