Today is a workday. Actually, yesterday was one too. We, meaning Anne, has gone through a lot of the remaining drawers. In our six-month absence from Monterey, Chris has done a lot, but there is still more to do. Anne has gathered about a half-dozen boxes slated for Goodwill. She has also gone through the jewelry again. Most of it is costume jewelry, which we can sell in Saint Louis. Items like the one pictured are different. It was probably my grandmother’s, but it could have been Aunt Alice’s. Anyway, we will swing by a jewelry store to get it appraised. It is located in Carmel-by-the-Sea. We can get lunch afterwards.

The Nor’easter has stuck. Let the real winter Olympics begin. Both Dan in NYC and Dave near Boston are under its thumb. This morning, while perusing the weather news, I looked at the New York Times. While checking their weather news, I checked their snowfall forecasts. Because the paper knew where I am, it gave me the totals for Monterey: less than 1% chance of less than a tenth of an inch here. Although we did notice snow on one of the adjoining hills.
