Sis is headed back to Baltimore. We decided to eat @ Bob's Diner before taking her to the train station.

I saw the cooks looking at me and laughing. They said they loved the DALLAS SUCKS shirt :)

The wind was VERY high and there were snow flurries for about 30 minutes. Then the sun came out and the snow went away.

The gang had planned to go to AC but decided instead to stay in town and go to the Mummers Parade tomorrow . I've got to meet some people my age who are more adventurous.

After the adjustments, I relax with ice and ginger cookies.

@ Spoons Coffeeshop

I have worn my Dallas Sucks tee every day since we trounced the Cowboys 44-6 on Sunday :) Wash it every night then put it back on the next day.
Bought it from a vendor on Broad Street about 15 years ago. Only wear it two times a year so it has held up well.

Nephew Mike here visiting from Baltimore since 12/25. He carried the three heavy cans of coins I'd been saving to the TD bank. The total was $133.14! Donated $20 to the fund for the Liberian family killed in the recent fire.
We went to Spoons Coffeehouse to chat.

Sis saw Mike's car because she was @ the laundromat a few doors down. She has always been fascinated by this 1600s map and wants one but only if it's this size.
