Today's "learn something new" department:
Found out you can download a "kindle for PC" app free from Amazon. So I did. And now I can download as many books as I want to my netbook, and quite a few are free downloads. Now I will have reading material for the plane and whenever else I might want it, and don't have to lug around a bunch of books! I only wish that I'd found this out before I bought Rick Steves' Germany 2011. I could have downloaded it for $9.99. Downloaded about a dozen free books during the kids' naptime at work.
Took a bit to get to work this morning. We had a winter thaw last week, and by the end of a week with above-freezing temps, our driveway was actually clear. But it all came to a crashing end yesterday as we got about 6-8" starting about 1 p.m. Heavy wet stuff too. And since it is President's Day today, and the kids didn't have school anyway (bet they feel "cheated" out of a snow day!) the plows didn't seem to be in nearly as much hurry to get the roads cleaned. WHEN will winter be over?
On the bright side (for Scott anyway) he had today off as well so a group of friends went to Switzerland for the weekend. Steve was a bit jealous of that until I reminded him that that's where we will be in just three short months....
Love reading about your trip plans...so thrilled for you...wish that Jenn & Kelly were doing the same but it's not going to happen for them. Alyssa will be here this weekend...they send them to USA for a class (something about the Visa ) and they each get to visit their family for a weekend during the trip. Anxious to see her. Keep posting ... love reading your blog...
