Beef Burgundy



After a blustery night yesterday morning began with thunder, lightning and hail. Then it snowed and snowed and snowed. In fact it’s still coming down. Today I’m grateful for the fact that my son and daughter-in-law arrived safely at Disneyland well before the storm hit. If they hadn’t left when they did, they might not have made it at all. I’m glad that I have a big garage attached to my house with a remote-controlled door so I can open the door, drive right in and close the door behind me without ever having to walk out into the storm. I’m thankful for the fire in my fireplace, for thick warm socks on my feet and for a mug of hot chocolate at my elbow. And yes, I’m even grateful for the snow. It was easy to take such things for granted in England, but when you live in a desert you learn to appreciate any precipitation that falls.
