I didn't realize your husband also works from home! So does mine. He'll often join me and Chewie for a short morning walk if he's not in a meeting. It's nice to have the flexibility to do things like that!

He does! That's wonderful that yours does too. It's so nice to get to go for walks or eat lunch together during the day 🤗

Such a sweet childhood memory, Lauren! ☃️ I remember the joy of those surprise snow days too (though it was usually more ice than snow lol).

We were snowed in here in Portland the last two days and I (secretly?) loved it. Surprise work-from-home days are definitely the adult form of school snow days!

Aspen is so cute. And I’m jealous you have friends who live so close!

Thank you for reading, Morganne! Oh yes, ice is a PNW winter staple for sure haha although it never seemed to be as bad as that ice storm we had a couple years ago!

I totally agree – even if we still technically have to work, it's the cancellation of all other plans is a welcome surprise!

She loves the snow, watching her play in it is the most delightful thing 🥹 And having friends nearby is really nice, I have to admit!

Thanks for reading, Barbs! Do you get any snow down under??

Some claim there are things called 'snowy mountains' but I think their standard isn't as high as mine 🍷 so I've never investigated. But yeah, people go 'to the snow' in winter somewhere.

I totally get that, especially when the standards are as high as the Alps 😂

Haha that's pretty much it! add to it the 'F it we ball' attitude typical of the early 90s (as opposed to snow being an elite thing down here)
