Day 3: Hot or Cold?!

Its October and its snowing - when does that happen in Philadelphia?? Angie is roasting somewhere in the DR and we are freezing up here. Is there something she is not telling us?

The boys are excited however - it is nearer snowboard season. Joe was was texted by all of us and a few friends about the snow - it was a local effect and he was not seeing the white stuff which he loves so everyone was rubbing it in.

So whats the news from Angie you ask? Good question, I had 2 text messages:

8.07 am: There is a rooster. I want to kill him!
3.15pm: The camp is a black hole that kids get sucked into but I have found my calling and may never come home.

Editorial: 1) I would not want to be a rooster when Angie is sleep deprived and at "half past dark" in the morning - he does not understand! (I also feel very sorry for her house mates).
2) She will get home sick and come home eventually........BUT she is not allowed to bring any babies back with her........we have enough going on with 1 dog, 2 cats, 1 kitten 2 teenagers and I forgot to mention the 1 fish last night and the 1 student at UNH.

So it is time to log off as I sit here with one cat on my desk, another upstairs and both not enjoying life with the cold and the pesky kitten. The dog is outside laying in the snow!
