The Monday before the holiday break.
The wind howls and the rain comes down.
Why isn't it snowing to have the day off? So much to do before the break.
A call comes in, an hour later than usual. Ok, we have a 2-hour delay!
I get a batch of cookies baked.
An hour later another call from Simsbury Public Schools.
Could it be possible?!!
"Due to the weather and power outages,
school will be canceled today- December 18, 2023.
Enjoy the day and stay safe."
I jumped up and down, clapped, and yelled "Yayyy!"
Then I baked another batch of cookies.
What a wonderful gift. The unexpected gift of time.
Snow days truly are a gift! Your excitement is clear throughout the piece and I could feel the anticipation with you!!
