February 4
Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree), preacher, abolitionist, speaker, and women's rights advocate, was commemorated on a U.S. postage stamp on this date in 1986.
Black History is American History.

The snow was not sticking last night at first because the ground wasn't cold enough. But continuos allnight snow and dropping temperatures gave us 8.4" instead of the 1-3 inches snow predicted.
Up and out Wednesday at noon. The paths had been cleared, there was no ice and the buses were running. Went to Exhale Beauty Salon and got a press and curl.
Walked up the block to Starbucks for a quiet hour without responsibility.(Mom had fallen and hurt her back on Monday so I'd been sticking close to her.)
