Dear Winter Storm, Thank you for…everything. W Dear Winter Storm,

Thank you for…everything.  We have slept in, watched movies, washed all the sheets, powered through multiple mid-afternoon slumps, and taken the sled out for a few rounds of Please Don’t Break Any Bones. Always a delight. 

You’ve made your point. We see you. Thank you for the ice…it’s really beautiful up close. Maybe a bit too much this time, but what do I know?

Anywho, party’s over. It’s time to go. These kids have got to get back to school and so help me if I don’t interact with other adults soon I am really going to lose my marbles. 

Here’s your purse and keys, one last hug, can’t wait to see you again, have a safe trip home. 

Thanks so much. 
Love you. 
Bye.

Gray Whale Gin because it's delicious, and I love how the turquoise bottle stands out among the other bottles.  So cute.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Empress Gin because it's purple and beautiful and is the gin for people who think they don't like gin.  Trust me.  It's a winner, and makes a wonderful gift.​​​​​​​​
