Follow-ups

Weather follow-up:

Boy, did we get weather today! We had decided that we believed the forecast, that we would get snow this morning (Wednesday). So we slept in. And, sure enough, when we got up there was snow - not a whole lot, but enough to keep us in. They kept telling us that it was going to start snowing again and would snow a lot more.

Well, they were right again! We got fat, chunky snowflakes - lots of them. On top of the 1+” we got this morning, we’ve gotten another 5-6” and it’s still snowing. Power outages have happened in the area (although not here, fortunately), and traffic has all but stopped.

I happened to look outside about 9:30 pm and it was almost like daylight. I went out, and the glowing soft light was amazing. The moon is supposed to be full on Friday night, and that light shining through the cloud clover and reflecting off the snow was just incredible.

We tried to take some pictures, but couldn't get the wonderful effect.  Mine was taken with my iPad and corrected with Picasa.  John took his with his SLR and used a flash. (these were taken about 10 pm)

Followup: I got this e-mail from Eva Jane this morning about the kidney transplant.
Well, Mary, this is what happened. Robby and his sister-in-law went last Friday for the final blood work before the surgery. They called yesterday with the results--she has an infection. So, once again, no surgery. Of course, they will not do anything until she is infection free. This means now that it will have to be scheduled for the FOURTH time. Robby and his wife have missed so much work and for nothing so far. We are all so worried about this girl; I don't know how much longer she can hold on, and the frustration and the waiting for Robby is getting so hard for him. I will let you know about the next scheduled date. This is a NIGHTMARE!
