Gray again

We await a minor snow, maybe a couple of inches accumulation here.  Allegedly.  Weather may spill over into tomorrow morning and affect/afflict the arrival of Older Sister for what passes as a family occasion in our family.  This being the first time neither Elder nor Younger Son is available for the holiday, we shall be destitute and bereft.  Or something.

Meanwhile, back at cleaning up the hovel...

Good thing we don't spend a lot on presents...

...'cause we just blew $200US on new thermostats for the water heater.

Oh, well, the last set was 10 years old.

If that is the worst crisis precipitated by approaching Guest, we are probably getting off easy.
