Groundhog Day


It was inevitable that "the groundhog" would see his shadow. We knew we were in for at least 6 more weeks of winter. Although we have had some melting snow this weekend, the weather is getting cold again already.
We celebrated Groundhog Day (A.K.A. Nicholas' Birthday) by finishing Harry Potter. I have been in mourning ever since. We are very sad to have our friends, who have been a part of our lives since August, leave us. The final chapter of Harry Potter was by far my favorite. It was a mature piece of writing that kept us on the edge of our seats (with tissues in hand) the entire 750 pages. As we approach the end of our 7 days of mourning, we look with anticipation toward our next adventure together!

We also went out to dinner at a restaurant called Two Forty Two. I got a gift certificate off Restaurant.com and thoroughly enjoyed using it. Check out the website. You can get discounted gift certificates to participating restaurants. Search the web for coupon codes to get even more discounts! If a restaurant stops participating in the program after you buy a gift certificate (and before you use it), they send you an email so you can get different certificates.
