I was able to head back to NI, NH last nite. It was a very easy and uneventful ride from Enfield, CT. That's more than I can say for the passed week. As everyone can attest within the Brouse extended family, "Eventful", is the key word describer for the week. Dad, Grandpa, Uncle, Brother & Friend Brouse was upper most in everyones' hearts and minds. When I left, "Bobby B.", (as his neighborhood hareem calls him), was recuperating just fine and his eldest daughter was a happier camper than when this camping trip to CT began. Besides being, "Janey and Johnny on the spot", with the Brouse Watch, both Karen and I had to be on the phones for more than half of the time during our unending commutes from Enfield to Hartford.
Karen plans to return to NI on Sunday. I left last nite to get some everyday stuff arranged and to prepare our driveway for normal egress for our car & truck. You see... our week started out with an Ice Storm. Our driveway was less than perfect when Karen 1st headed out to CT. We have a good 1/2 inch to an inch of ice on Faria Lane, (400+ feet long). The week started with the ice storm and the temps here in NH have now returned to our normal winter weather, 5 to 30 degrees F. Consequently, the ice has not receded since we left. We also got about 1 & 1/2" of snow last nite. Here are a few pix of trees from our front yard:

I love those pictures! Especially the one of the tree by the front door, with the sparkly ice ornaments. Faria Lane looks like a winter wonderland!
It's relieving to know that grampa is doing well and stable, but I'll feel a helluva lot better when he comes to stay with you and Mom.
We will be there in less than two weeks. Do you think I will be cold? I bought some thick socks and long underwear. I am stealing Joe's gloves too. Oh Boy...
JR,
The ice is still not defrosted. However, the tree by the dumpster is now at 1/3 mast, so some ice has melted off.
Melissa,
You won't be cold if you have the right clothes on and you don't stay outside too long. That's the key to living out here. No different than being outside in 115 degree heat for too long.
