This afternoon I went into town to submit my application to volunteer at the local Planned Parenthood office. I not only need something to do, but our President has inspired me to get involved and give back to my community. I figure I could get pretty passionate about a woman's right to choose and helping young women who are pregnant, scared and feel so alone. I know a bit about that. They tell me the application process takes about three weeks, so I will keep you posted as we go.
It was indeed a bright sunny beautiful day, and despite the fact that I still had to wear several layers of clothing, I was really grateful.
It was snowing in Lake Tahoe today and the radio announcer told me that I80 was closed through Donner Pass until further notice. This was my view of that storm as I drove down Vista to the freeway, and boy was I glad I ordered good weather when I had to go over Donner Pass. It is an interesting landscape here becasue the valley is so brown, even most of the houses are some shade of brown or tan so everything sort of blends together. However when the sun is out and the sky is clear, the contrast between the dull brown landscape and the crystal blue sky is striking. They have wonderful cloudscapes here too, and the snowy blue/black of the mountians, a constant backdrop, looks almost like a movie set it is so unreal. I am finding more beauty everyday.
