Last snow of the year
I'm not jinxing it! It's just a fact. Damn it. Measurable accumulation at least. Right?
This was the view from the country club where I attended Gina's bridal shower on Saturday. It was a lovely time, Gina and Ryan received many fine things, and I'm realizing how close the wedding now is. (Something of which I'm sure they are well aware.) I wish my dress would ship already. Stay tuned in coming weeks for stress about fittings and getting the entire outfit put together. Wee! But really, I am excited. Lots of fun in store between now and early May.
In my more immediate future, work. Last time I went on a business trip, my destination was Beverly Hills. Later this week I have another trip ... to Peoria. Though this prospect is a little less thrilling, I have to admit that it's nice to not bother with flights and serious packing. The older twin nephews' birthday party is this weekend, so I'll be squeezing in a family visit before coming home. Must remember to wrap presents.
Apparently there is a river in Peoria, and my hotel is on it, so perhaps that will be nice?

I was born in Peoria! You could take a scenic drive to Bradford, my hometown (just about 30 miles away..)
Unfortunately, I have to report that the river outside my hotel wasn't particularly nice. I mean, it's nice that they have the river walk. But I was envisioning something more ... consumer-centric? With shops and things? There were plenty of dog walkers, though. I didn't make it to Bradford. I also had no idea Pekin was so nearby.
