The snow has been falling all day, filling in the roads behind the plow’s efforts. I am a bit of wreck as I write this. Tomorrow, I am planning a surprise party for Ric’s 70th birthday. The hall is booked, and I’ve delegated all the pieces, but the guest list is shrinking as people are reluctant to travel in this weather.
When you read this, I will be recovering from the day’s activities.
For now, I am consciously subtracting expectations, and adding trust. As far as I know, Ric has no idea.
Wish us well.

Hope it went well … and all travelers got to and from safely.
Sounds like the weather has delivered a surprise of its own for the occasion …
Best wishes to the both of you on the coming year!

Thanks Jazz. As Ric said: “The people who needed to be were there.” He was so surprised, and we had a wonderful time. Mission accomplished.
