Since we were up past midnight, we slept in some. But I did manage to rouse myself to set out my sourdough starter and to turn on the soaked black eyes. By mid-morning, the biscuits were golden and perfect with butter and honey; the scent of black-eyed peas warmed the house. Later, there was ham and cornbread; later still, cranberry upside-down cake, made by Sis and me. It was all good.
The kids played games with Gommie, who finally was tired of playing games (I would have quit days earlier!), and they went swimming. This evening, they watched some of Despicable Me 2 with her. And then they kissed Gommie and Pop goodbye, the kids heading to school in the morning and the grandparents heading home.
All contingent on the weather, of course, with 6-10" expected in the next 48 hours, and near-blizzard conditions at times. Pop ordered snow, but he's not staying for it . . . at least, not planning to.
