Remember how I was saying that we were having weather in the 80s last week?  Well, you can imagine my dismay when I woke up to this scene today.  Yes, that is snow on the roof of the school.  It is 33^oF with 17 mph winds bringing the wind chill to 22^oF.  According to the newspapers, the TV newscasts and the locals (yes, I'm a local now too, but I have only been here a couple of years and didn't realize the history), it is because of the Ichthus Festival that is held a few miles south of here in Jessamine County.  You would think that God would be happy that a large group of people are getting together and camping out for a few days in His name.  Anyways, yesterday was the last day of the festival, so we are expecting the weather to get back to normal by tomorrow.

Weather aside, it has been a very good weekend so far.  On Friday, the bosses went out to eat with our friends Laurie and Dal (Ben and Baxter's bosses).  They invited them back to the house for some ice cream pie and I had a real nice time visiting with them (even though I didn't get any stinkin' pie!).  They ended up staying for quite a while because of the Ichthus thing.  The cold front came through just after pie time and let me tell you, it was a big storm.  I was happy enough to be in the basement with them and I was sure glad that I wasn't sleeping in a tent like those Ichthus folks.  There was the possibility for dime size hail, there was thunder and lightning and 45 mph winds.  It was something!  Needless to say, while we were all in the basement I got LOTS and LOTS of petting.  I was a happy girl.

So then yesterday rolls around.  The boss made me and Lyle go for a walk with him while it was 40^oF and rainy.  Oh yeah, there was wind too.  Not really my cup of tea (actually, tea isn't my cup of tea either - I don't like it).  The rest of the day was pretty nice though.  I snuggled with the boss ma'am while she was reading a book.  Then they went to dinner at some fancy pants French restaurant.  They didn't take me even though I told them that in Europe, dogs are welcome.  Well, they didn't believe me and left without me and Lyle (they wouldn't have wanted to bring him anyway).  Much to my delight, after a two hour nap, they brought my friends Aaron and Monica to visit for ice cream pie!  Woo, hoo!  Wait!  It was even better!  They also brought Seth's alpha dogs (whom I've only met by smell once).  Let me just say, Steve and Craig are my newest good friends.  Wow, they sure know how to treat a dog.  I just have to say that Seth is quite the lucky boy.

Well, that's about all that I have for now.  It is going to be a good week because the boss ma'am is on vacation and later this week, her parents are going to come for a visit (perhaps a bad omen for the weather though).  I enjoy their company so I'm sure it will be a nice visit.

I'm off, the boss ma'am seems to be especially vulnerable to my charms today and I think I just might be able to make her get me a Pop Tart.

TTFN,
