Round 29 and Snowflakes


As I await the coming foot or so of snow, I thought I'd post a quick blog. On Tuesday I went for Round 29. I also had a scan on Monday. My scan came back stable - so treatment is still working nicely.
To thank the staff for all their help this year, I brought them a big tray of cupcakes from Crumbs. If you are not a New Yorker, Crumbs is a bakery chain in the city that makes the most incredible cupcakes. I went to the one on 3rd Ave at 53rd Street but there are many other locations. I recommend a visit if you are a cupcake lover (which I am)!
So far, it's been a nice start to the holiday season. All the Hannukah candles have been lit and it's now time to put up my Charlie Brown tree in the window. The snow will make a nice backdrop for the season. For Northeasterners, the foot or so we expect will be handled well I expect since we have lots of plows and salt spreaders. I doubt there will be school closings on Monday - much to the dismay of the kids. But they'll get some sledding in! As for my good friends in Richmond, your kids will probably get the week off! I saw on WTVR.com this morning that Richmond got about a foot! That's probably a "10 year event" so digging out will take a while! Or perhaps y'all will just have to wait for it all to melt! Hope you got in that last run to Ukrops to stock up on milk and bread!
And a piece of trivia for you - I researched today how many snowflakes it takes to build a snowman. The answer is about 2 to 3 million! First kid to gues the answer gets dibs on the hot chocolate!

I hope you are enjoyng the season...think I'll go build a fire in the fireplace now...BB

We are sitting here waiting for the snow to start. And, sometimes, the forecasters are wrong in some areas and we don't get the promised snow. We will see. But here, I have dibs on the hot chocolate.

Back in my childhood there was a NYC chain bakery named Krums. Fran remember them? Fordham Road I think. Here in PA we have snow. expecting up to 12 inches. I was supposed to see the Tales of Hoffman, but it was too treacherous to walk to the bus stop. So instead I am watching STate HS football PIAA championship football game from Hersey where it is snowing like h..l State high is behind 0-3.All the judges did was to shovel the linemarkers.
I hope I make it back to Freehold before Christmas. Heck make it over to Kevin's tomorrow with early Christmas dinner.Maybe I can hitch a ride on Santa's sled. Mom
