Big Bear Overnighter

Yesterday morning we were enjoying a quiet time here, when Greg said he wanted to go up to Big Bear to see how much snow there was.   So after my order was picked up, away we went.
I had an order for a cream infinity scarf and matching earwarmer, and three puffed hearts.
I loved the creamy white of this set, and the softness of the yarn I used was just the icing on the cake.

I let her pick her heart colors when she got here.  I have done them up in just about every color.

I only took a couple of photos this time.  I had made a reservation for our favorite place to eat up in The Bear.  The Sweet Basil.  Gennifer and Jake got us a gift certificate for Christmas!  We bundled up and made the short drive to the restaurant.  It was 14 degrees.  Brrrrr.  You can bet we had our bun warmers on in the car!!
I had the panko crusted salmon with sweet basil sauce, roasted veggies and rice.  Greg had the filet mignon with lobster and goat cheese stuffed ravioli.  We both had a delicious salad, and for dessert, a vanilla bean creme brulee.  Oh my!!!!  It was heavenly!  The entire meal!
We went back to the cabin and wound up sleeping upstairs because it was soooo cold!!!    Woke up this morning to such a beautiful day!

Greg went out to shovel the back deck, and the driveways.

I watched from the warmth of the cabin.

Sipping hot coffee.  I love this sight from the kitchen window, of all of the icicles.

All of the trees had those clumps of snow on them from the recent storm.  It was so pretty!!

We were expecting to see a lot more police presence with the man hunt of that bad guy.  But we didn't see but a few. 
Back home, and another weekend has come and gone.   We have a lot going on next week.  Another grandparents day at school, a Knitty Biddies Valentine's Lunch, and then a full weekend coming up too! 
Dusty had his "surgery" this past Wednesday and is barreling through the house with that lampshade on his head, like a bull in china shop.  Broken frames, knocking drinks over, scuffing all of the paint in the doorways.....NICE!!!  He is supposed to keep it on for two weeks.  I can't imagine one and half more weeks of this.  He is a big ol love, and I am so happy we took him, but he does have a whole lot of Marley in him!!!!  The big goof!  He still suffers from separation anxiety, although that is getting better.  And he has a very shrill bark when he gets excited.  Yuck!  And...something must have happened to him in a car.  He cried all the way up the mountain, and all the way down.  A high pitched whine, that just about drove both of us nuts!  I think he needs a little pill before traveling next time. 
That's about it from here.  What is going on in your neck of the woods?
