Vacation is now a "staycation"

Well, as with "the best laid plans of mice and men," our elaborate vacation plans have gone totally awry due to the weather. After having almost no snow since Christmas, we had 20" yesterday. Today it's raining. However, New York is expecting a foot of snow today, and we are apparently in for more snow tonight and tomorrow. We were supposed to be heading to Montgomery, AL, today; driving to Naples, FL, Sunday; and heading home via Ft. Myers next Friday. But our flight to NY today was cancelled and we couldn't get seats on flights tomorrow. Saturday was beginning to look doubtful, too. Since we had so much driving time built into our vacation, we just didn't think we could do it all comfortably in the time left. And we were so looking forward to seeing Jim, John & Rebecca, Brenda & Frank, and Carole & John!

Looks like we'll be staying home during the flooring project which begins Monday. Almost everything has been removed from the first floor, but now we'll be able to help Matt move things around as needed. If we're lucky, we'll have a few nice days to go x-c skiing (Paul) and snowshoeing (me). We had some books we wanted to read, so we'll go stock up, and I can keep working on Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. I received a great package of batiks today from my Dear Jane secret pal which I can incorporate into the blocks. There's always a silver lining when one is a quilter!
