Week Past 03/13-03/19
Camera on self-timer, posed before shoveling snow on Monday. End up using the snow blower because it was thicker and heavier than I thought. Besides I still have to report for work. Evening news would report that a 75 year old man died while shoveling snow.
Front street during Monday's snow storm
Front door during Monday's snow storm. Wet heavy snow falling. 
Grey feather stem with ice on top and icicle below two days after the storm. Nature's wonder how an inch or two of ice would form on top of a bent stem no thicker than a pen while icicles were able to "hang on" to it.
Winter's Last Hurrah?
According to the calendar Spring officially begins on 3/20 so in just 7 days or so I thought we'll be done with winter. But old man winter had other things in mind. He decided to have a last hurrah this week. A double whammy. Monday 3/13 he delivered the baddest snow storm of the season. It's not your flaky light snow but the heavy mushy wet snow. Then Thursday 3/16 was another snow storm. Though not as bad as Monday's it still caused major inconvenience. Our speed at Hi-way 77 was 10 mph. It took me 30 min from Apple Valley to MN River Bridge when normally it would only be 5 min.
Housing Project
Another step forward. Wednesday, 3/15, met with Jerry the realtor and Laurie the agent that would be selling the house. Reviewed with us the requirements and procedures in selling the house. Signed some documents or was that our life we just signed away??? We were also informed that in a week or so the pre-final plan for the new home will be done. We have to go over it before it can be finalized. A home inspector will be going over our home to make sure everything is in order and the required disclosures are made e.g. presence of molds, major repairs undertaken, if the house has been a meth lab!!!???
Max and Eileen
We invited friends from church, Filipino couple Max and Eileen, Saturday, 3/18, for lunch at home before we finally move out if ever. We had a nice afternoon and got to know more of each other. I still can't understand why some people have a knack for math while I'm clueless. That's what their daughter is finishing in NY, a PhD in Math. We adjourned past 6 pm. That was a long lunch date and you don't mind if you're enjoying each others company.

I almost forgot na tag-init na nga pala diyan...I'm sure Baguio and Tagaytay will be bursting at the seams this coming Holy Week...and thinking about it, I really miss our beaches with ice cold San Mig to quench your heat induced thirst.
