I could have been in St. Louis!

Yes, folks, it took me nearly five, count 'em, five hours to drive home from work tonight. In about the time it would take to drive from Chicago to St. Louis, I managed 40 miles.

[alrescate]

Well I hope you will be able to enjoy some time snug & cozy on Thursday and Friday!

Really interesting photos of something I have never considered before. Laughed at the contraast between the two work spaces. Just know which mine would be whether making violins or scrapbooking or whatever.
Love the way you share such a diverse and interesting life with us. Even the snow is quite 'foreign' to me. And how horrible for you.
