Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, but very very cold. I think today is actually forecast to be mostly cloudy; but for the moment at least, they're not here.
Yesterday: We had a lovely day. Everyone slept late and was lazy all morning. In the afternoon we rode to Old Salem, and I got to go into a couple of shops. When we got back here, my brother grilled a fabulous dinner for us. After dinner he rode us around to see Christmas lights ... in the snow!! It was just beautiful! Then we watched a cute (Disney) movie.
Today: We have to head home today. It looks like a lot of last night's snow has blown away (very windy!). I haven't gone out yet, but from the window it doesn't look like the roads are too bad. It'll be late morning, close to noon, before we leave. I hope to make a stop by my sister's house, and be home (and unload the car) before dark. :)
Today is "Republic Day (Malta)" ... "Santa Lucia Day (Sweden)".
