Well, here again, a week has passed since my last post.  We finished up our antique/craft show Sunday, and it’s good to be home!  I have a few weeks here before we go again in March, so I’m going to tackle more of those needed areas, here at home that I’ve needed to purge, before then!  Last night after we unloaded our things, my husband took me to an early Valentine’s Day dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant called Carrabba’s!  We had an awesome meal, and it was a good way to unwind after a busy weekend! 

I hope everyone is doing well!  We are expecting anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow here where I am, but 8 to 16 to the north of us, and 3 to 6 to the south of us, along with an accumulation of ICE!!  The news here in Indy just mentioned that the city itself might end up closing down if it gets too bad!  They are calling it a possible ”historical event”!!  So, off to the store we went to pick up some food items to have on hand.  What fun….fighting the crowds at the store when a winter storm is fast approaching!   I hope we get the 16 inches I mentioned above!  We’re smack dab in the middle of the state, so it could go either way!  FUN, FUN, FUN!!!  Good thing we went to an early Valentine’s dinner!!  We are probably going to be snowed in from what we hear!  The ice could also knock out electricity (been there, done that), so we also purchased a kerosene heater.  Right now the snow and ice mix is falling and everything is so white and quiet outside!  It is beautiful here right now!  

This past week friendship was mentioned, and I have to share that a very dear friend of mine, from the past, has finally come home!  We’ve known each other for 36 years, lost touch for quite a few years, found each other, then lost each other again, and now, she found me!  She was out of state, and is now back here caring for her mom, (whom I absolutely adored), full time!  She is now living about 20 minutes away!  We are getting together soon, and boy, do we have oodles of catching up to do!  I’ll post pictures soon!  This is the perfect month to share our stories of our special friendships!  God has given us the gift of friendship to encourage and uplift one another in every season of life! 
Friendship fills up all those little ruts in life’s road! 
Go on…go hug your friend, and have a blessed day!!
