Not to be disappointed and as promised by the meteorologist - we got about 12" of snow. this was all by 4:00 a.m. By 8:30 a.m. the visibility diminished and we're expecting several more inches. It is beautiful. Good thing we're not leaving today.

We didn't get a chance to put the stone up on the walls by the fireplace, due to the weather. Instead, we put the pull-down stairs to the loft in. Although I didn't do much, it looked rather easy. From start to clean up - including a break for lunch, it took about 6 hours - and that included making the futon and moving some boxes around.

           

We visited Paul and Betty for a little bit before heading to Tamarack for dinner. After dinner we did our holiday grocery shopping - knowing there would be no time when we got home...we heard on the news that the Chicago area got hit hard with snow.
