It's snowing again

Well... we woke up this morning to the snow falling again.

Although I wasn't looking forward to this storm,

it sure is beautiful!

The flakes are large and starting to stick.

The trees look white from a distance and all the grass

that was poking through is now covered in white.

It is so peaceful.

Chuck went to school.

We are hoping they don't have a snow day today.

Today and tomorrow are the last days of the first phase.

Grades will be posted either Friday or Monday!!

Next week he gets a new teacher,

hopefully a few less students

and starts diving in the freezing cold lake.

He passed all the water tests this week!!

Yesterday he had to swim on the bottom of the pool

while the teacher swam around and pulled off their

masks, regulators, turned off their oxygen to see how they would react.

He also had to do a ditch and dive.

That is where you swim to the bottom of a 12 foot pool,

take off all of your gear, including your oxygen

and swim to the top, take a breath, dive back down and

put everything back on.

Out of the 19 students in his class

only 9 students passed.

Some gave up and some totally freaked out

and some tried really hard but just couldn't do it.

On a side note,

I think Taffy is a little sick.

She has only been outside once

other than quick potty trips.

So I'm not sure how she got sick.

Although the apartment is colder than the house in Fresno.

I'm making her rice and chicken for breakfast today.

Hopefully she starts feeling better

or I'll be making a trip to the vet.
