Yes, we all survived Snomaggedon. Or is it Snowpacalypse? It wasn’t so bad, it’s not like we live in D.C. where they freak out and just shut everything down when it snows. I have to say that I’m pretty happy I didn’t have to shovel any of the fluffy white stuff.
I know we live in Michigan but I’m ready for warm weather, sunshine, and green grass. For the record, I don’t mow the lawn either. I’ve survived 40 years without pushing a lawnmower and I’m certainly not going to start now.
New Palace Bakery in Hamtramck is one of the places to go for paczki on Fat Tuesday.
