My two youngest grandsons came to visit me and my husband, Michael, yesterday.  Michael is recuperating from a short stay in the hospital and Dipper, Sheri, Ethan and Seth came to visit - with a box of chocolates for Michael... Seth enjoyed the chocolates! And Ethan left us a priceless "note" in the snow as they were leaving ...!  (It says, "I love Grammy and PaPa" [with kisses!])

Waking up to the Columbia Maryland blizzard was like awakening to a white, blanketed, pristine wonderland.  The quiet (before the plows, snowblowers and shovels) is like no other "sound". On the left, Jack (my 3 year old Standard Poodle) is loving this weather!  He sticks his whole head into the snow (don't know why!) and jumps around like a gazelle. Luke (my 12 year old Standard Poodle) doesn't like to get ice balls in his paws... therefore the booties!  He's not as fond of the snow as Jack, but he does seem to enjoy it, too.

Columbia's villages and neighborhoods are a unique design in urban living.  The town is divided into ten villages and within each village are several neighborhoods with names drawn from history or literature.  Columbia's street names are derived from literary sources and help to make each neighborhood special.  When locals recite their address to others, we often get the response, "Oh, that's an unusual address ... you must live in Columbia!".  Each village has its own community association which is an independent, incorporated, nonprofit civic association formed exclusively for the promotion of the common good and welfare of the residents and property owners of that village. Each association has similar but separate Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Covenants.  Columbia's villages...
