Bogie and I decided to walk across the bridge (about 2 miles) to the nearest Starbucks on Saturday afternoon.  It was very windy and cold walking across the long bridge, in snow almost up to our knees, only to find out that Starbucks was closed.  So we trudged back across the  bridge.  As soon as I got home I  made a big pot of warm coffee.  Hazelnut creme.  Delicious.

I did spend most of the weekend knitting.  I finished a pair of fingerless mittens for a girl I work with.  Now I am going to start on a pair of fingerless gloves.  A little more challenging.  Bogie wants a pair, so I thot I would give it a try.  And I did make it to the knitting store today.  I called first and they were open so I braved the snowy roads to pick up some more yarn.  The main roads were pretty clear, but they haven’t plowed our neighborhood yet.

Bogie was so good.  He shoveled our driveway, then he went down to a neighbor, who is 91 years old, and shoveled her sidewalk, and also helped our next door neighbors shovel their deck and sidewalk.  The husband injured his shoulder and is just out of surgery, so Bogie was generous enough to help them with the shoveling.  I almost forgot, he also helped the lady across the street shovel a path so she could get her disabled dog out to go to the bathroom.

Needless to say, Bogie is soar.  But don’t feel too sorry for him, he gets another day off…his office is closed tomorrow due to the snow, unlike my work…which I just found out, is business as usual.  Darn.  It would have been nice to have a three-day weekend.
