Another continental breakfast and some Chicago news. 10" of snow! We were at about that at the cabin. Thoughts of being snowed out opposed to snowed in were not as attractive. We were hoping for a safe trip and cleared snow. There were more than 24 hours before we'd be home. Fingers crossed.
We played one last game, Scattergories. Now we played all of the games that Rick and Katie brought!
We took a couple of last pictures - check out that wreath! Then we were off to lunch at La Tolteca.

Rick and Katie left from lunch to go to Milwaukee to visit Adam. Then they were meeting Grandma Meti for dinner. We had a great weekend and enjoyed spending time with our visitors!

Carlo and I went to Wal-Mart and then cruised around our little "Riverhood". We visited with our neighbor Rick and then drove down to visit with Paul and Betty. We wanted to thank Paul and his son Steve for plowing our driveway. We were able to reach the cabin with no trouble. And we were able to envision a future driveway!!! Okay, I was able to envision a future driveway!

When we got back, we did some little chores...re-stocked the firewood, fixed the birdfeeder, fed the birds, put veggies out for the other animals and emptied the hot embers into the bucket and then into the firepit. I also covered it in snow - just in case! As I said, a lesson well learned!
