Several snow storms later I am finally updating my blog!! What a weekend this has been... Friday night it started, it didn't look like much at first. Diana didn't have school, Curt came over and took us to lunch in Bryans Road, after lunch we went to Safeway, I wanted to pick up some scallops to add to the raw shrimp I had already in the freezer, I wanted to make Paula Deen's Shrimp and Scallops Lasagna. I've posted some pics... Friday night, Joey and Brian came over and we all had dinner together. Yufei made some chinese veggies to go with the lasagna, I made a salad and some garlic bread, it was an awesome dinner!
Kalli got to go outside before the snow got too deep...
Here you can see the snow height on top of the table first on Friday and then Saturday.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday the power goes out, soon after that the water ceases to run on the faucets. Great no heat and no water! Buy then I had made "Caldo Verde" or as the children call it "Green Soup" thank goodness for that! So glad I have a gas log fireplace and gas stove. We were able to cuddle up by the fire. Well, it was so funny though when Diana and Joey decided they had to bake a cake for Brian, he turned 18 on Saturday and the least we could do was bake a cake and sing him happy birthday. Well, they prepared the batter and then we realized the oven turns on by pushing buttons which operate only with electrical power, the burners are knobs which can be lit with a match. Couldn't get Brian's cake, hopefully his family is making up for it now.
Below Yufei is toasting her bread on all the candles lit in the kitchen...
Well, this was the Super Blizzard of 2010 for sure... my beautiful cedar trees on the farm have multiple branches down right now. It just breaks my heart to see them down, these trees most likely have been here almost as long as the house, circa 1917.
