A weekend of buddy buddy, followed by the parade and festival with the family. My favorite weekend of the year.

So we didn't get the 6+ feet the south towns got but we definitely got 3 feet between pong night Thursday night and today. I spent most of yesterday clearing all the snow from our house down to North since the Ascension for the Arts group doesn't shovel or snowblow.

I felt sore but pretty buff by the end.

My favorite place ever. Probably our fifth time down this summer, the water is so low.

Another birthday weekend. This time for our friend's Shane and Alex. Igloos were constructed, a whole snow neighborhood was gentrified and I fell in love with Jan Magnuson, sporty-short dog trainer.
