Day 1122: Cornfields

We took a trip to Brocton to deliver letters to the four eligible eighth graders reminding them of the enrollment deadline next week.  We have a feeling that none of the kids will enroll, but I hope we're wrong.  I told the secretary that all the student leaders will still go with us, even if no one enrolls.  Her son is one of the new student leaders and he's very excited.

Next week, will be very busy and that started to scare me.  Classes three days a week, musical requires so many costumes, none of the set construction has even been started.  All of that will cut into the writing time.   I've had three productive months.  Fifteen chapters completed and ready for outside readers.  But there are still eight to go!  How will I squeeze them in between everything else?  I need two more months of being snowed in!

A huge storm has moved up the east coast and trapped thousands in their homes.  All four of our kids are safely tucked in.  They grew up in western NY so they know about snow.  The subways closed down at 8:00 tonight and all traffic is banned.   So far, they've only had a few inches, but the winds are ferocious.  It's nice not to be the center of the storm for once!
