Mrs.J

It is insane! When the amount came through US on her card I was surprised it was so cheep. For 2! It is such a wonderful experience for these kids. She is in England till the end of May. She is having an amazing time!

Ok I may be a little bit jealous. The older Ms. J has been in England now for about 3 weeks. Today she just booked her travel break destinations. Flight from London to Berlin, train from Berlin to Amsterdam, then flight from Amsterdam to London. She gets 10 days and one of her classmates is going with her. And let me say her ticket for her flight, which she was able to book as a round trip for 2 adults, was way cheaper than even a single adult ticket here. And they found out their train tickets are discounted as they are under age 27.

Have the kid out riding today 58 currently just south of Lovettesville. We are so used to this time of year no riding at all due to frozen ground. Or finding an indoor which is just out of the elements but still an ice box. Also when crossing the Potomac at Brunswick the trees right along the bank are fully budding. And the cottonwood was flying.

That is vomit worthy!

Just dropped the older Ms J off at Dulles. Starting her adventure of a semester abroad in England.

Have some dandruff flying over her in Frederick.

Those kinds of temps are scary with kids. My youngest went through that back in the fall. She is 16 but at your daughters age it just zaps them down. Hope she is feeling better. And hope you are doing ok. Hugs

Just listened to this. I used to be a die hard College Football fan. Then watched the documentary on the concussion cover up and have not watched another game since.

Line to my SW. taking bets with my oldest on it splitting and reforming to the E of our house. It is a regular occurrence.

Thank you

Took advantage of this unseasonable weather today to clean up my gardens. And with the recent rain yesterday was able to split some Liriope and transplant. Filled up the cats cable aka bird feeder and drug the Christmas tree to the curb for pick up. Decided to leave the deck slider open and it is a full on HBO fest for the cats.

What a nice March day. 55/55 currently.

As long as it stays away from Jan 26th and around that date.

9:21 am 34 wind slamming into the back of the house

8:35 am 40 and the wind is starting

6:50 am 41.1

47 and 2” of rain so far.

36 out with .63” of rain. Was out taking the oldest Miss J to the dentist and buying liquor for Mr. J’s holiday gift. It is not nice at all. Pouring cold rain and holiday traffic. At home with a nice Chi Latte and blanket.

And just like that we have our first big fat flakes of Winter.

Ok got some info. Yes it is because of the NE part of the county which is the mountain area of FredCo. Reports of icy roads and even a roll over in Thurmont. So the closure makes sense.

Well ok then. FCPS closed after re evaluation. Not sure what is going on or projected to in the Northern half of the county. But I suspect that it being the last day before winter break they gave the kids and teachers an extra day. Looks like I have a whole Texas sheet cake home to eat as the younger Miss J was supposed to have a party in her Large Animal Pre-Vet class today.

Sitting at 32 here. FCPS on a 2 hr delay. It is the last day before break so I am fine with letting the kids sleep in. Have not really seen any precipitation here.

Glad it was not as bad as it could have been and that you are both ok. And kids using the appropriate phrase that they assign to an event in the moment is always ok in my book. Then again I am one of those parents that used to have a swear jar when they were younger so it just does not phase me anymore.
