We leave on Friday. I have started packing. The main decision now is which book to take and read on the plane ride over. More snow is forcast for tomorrow here. I will NOT miss the snow and ice. I love the saying, "Everyone always talks about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it." I feel like all I have done is complain. I'll try to be more positive with just the rain in Cambridge!

It is only one week until we return to England for another three months. I am getting excited! I never thought I would say this, but I am not only excited to see friends again, I am also looking forward to the weather!!! When we first got back to Chicago we were thrilled to see snow, after all, it IS winter. I have now had enough. Give me just plain old rain! My driveway has been an ice rink most of the winter. When you add the continual high winds mixed in with the sub zero temperatures and snow (it's snowing as I write this), it doesn't make getting around very fun.

I am trying now to decide what books to pack. That is always hard because I have to be very selective. Thank goodness for the computer. I can study quite a bit from images I have on my computer (such as the one featured here - isn't it wonderful?), and then there is the wonderful Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, that I love. I always seem to leave some wonderful book at home. Hopefully, this time I will remember everything.
