Alicia and Joanie's cat, Zuba is quite happy but I suspect also a little bored!
The cat is happy that he is getting a whole lot of attention with the dog in the kennel this week; but I think he is a little bored because we are not quite as exciting as the dog during the long day with the girls gone to school. He appears to like me even though cats never like me; and puts up happily with my petting and talking to him.
So, the weather man lied as the snow only began the moment the girls set foot outside to take their bus to school. They were so sure about not having to go to school, it threw a wrench into their negotiation tactics! They were not happy campers!!!
Over the day though, we got 30 something centimeters of snow, so the minute the girls got off the bus, they put on the full Monty of snow equipment and headed out to play with the neighborhood kids until dinner time! The big excitement of the day for them was when their bus got stuck in the snow and the bus driver made them all go sit in the back (to put weight there) while he maneuvered the vehicle back and forth out of the snow trap! We
were offered two very passionate reenactments of that episode. After dinner, the girls called their friends to find out what radio or television station we would need to listen to in the a.m. to confirm to their grandma that their school is closed. There was no doubt about the school being closed on Thursday, as one friend's mother who "works for the school", said that all schools would be closed because the buses would get stuck on the uncleared roads on Thursday. The girls went to bad last night with the reassurance that there would be no school this morning!
The snow stopped late Wednesday night, but the road clearing crews were out in force, so that the promised day off from school was not to be! Much to the girls chagrin...
Darn those street cleaning crews!!!
