Down Mulberry Lane

Now, this is set for if I continue to do weekly shopping.  I hope to pare down to every two weeks and maybe even get so good as to do once a month trips, but that will take me some practice.  If I do a trip that is planned to last two-4 weeks, I may just not do school in the afternoon and may still be shopping.  Today was not a town day... we've been snowed in and it is still snowing.  I don't plan to get out until the snow has melted a bit to harden the top layer to prevent blowing snow.  We've had the van stuck in the middle of our lane and it is not any fun to dig out when it gathers more snow sitting there.  Plus no other vehicles can pass either direction... so it is a real pipper.  I've learned it's best to stay put than to venture out and get stuck by blowing snow. 

Warmly, ~Melissa
