Yes!! We have snow! Lots of snow! 12 inches of snow, in fact! And, I’m lovin’ every single inch of it! I know some of you will think I’ve gone off my rocker, but I really do enjoy the cold crisp winters, the way the sky looks when the sun sets at night, and the way it sounds after the snow has fallen … quiet and still! We’ve been virtually snowed in the past couple of days … our driveway, which is somewhat long, was totally covered until yesterday, when a friend showed up with his plow, and snowblower! This man’s name is John Freeze … seriously!! And, Mr. Freeze did a wonderful job! After that, my hubby went out for a little bit to do some errands, which have had to be put off because of the snow, but the roads were fine then … icing up last night was a concern, as it’s going to get back down into the teens! We may try to get down to restock the antique mall today, but we’ll wait and see. They’re talking more snow, not sure when! If we do go, I’ll try to get some photos of what we have now. This is the most snow we’ve had here in about 10 years! We do want to build a snowman, too! I know there are huge numbers of power outages! We have friends, with family in Kentucky, who are staying in a shelter right now. Another man from church is taking a generator down to some of his family members in Kentucky! Many people may be without power until next week! I pray you’re all doing well … if you are on the ‘snow route’, what are your snow totals, and temperatures where you are?! We were prepared with enough food for the week … some people didn’t believe it would happen … but, like I said, I was hopeful! Not much going on here, other than sleeping in late, doing a bit of ‘winter cleaning’, cooking together, and just keeping each other company. We are working on purging books, and organizing. It’ll feel good to get that accomplished! I spoke to Ian … he has been sick, but is starting to feel better, so, if you could remember to pray for him, I know he would appreciate it! I don’t like being so far from him when things like this are happening … you know a mother’s heart when it comes to our children being sick … no matter how old they are! I am thankful that this is only the second time he’s been sick since he’s been in California! He told me that two of his friends from here are wanting to go out to visit him soon. I’m glad … we have to be deciding on when we’ll be going ourselves! He really wants us to come out! He also mentioned more earthquakes in the area … not large ones, but still, a prayer concern! Has anyone heard about the volcano in Alaska?! Things are becoming very active out west!
And my computer is acting strange, again … so I may be taking it in for more repairs. Say a prayer that nothing happens before I get a chance to do that! We have had some great entertainment over the past few days … our ‘kitties’ are getting along … well, sort of! They do wrestle alot, but yesterday, they pretty much ignored one other! I think Mr. Mooshie has an attitude toward Miss Pookie! (…don’t ya just love those names … lol!) Anyway, she is a ‘lap’ cat … and he is not! Well, not on my lap anyway!! He never has been one to sit in our laps, but recently, he’s been changing it up a bit, and sitting in my husband’s lap during his morning devotions. That’s okay … my feelings aren’t too hurt, now that I have Pookie, who always wants to sit in mine! They both sat in the window, if only for a few minutes together, watching the birds, and squirrels at the feeder. Pookie stayed longer … like I said, I think he has an attitude! They both love my rag rugs … constantly messing them up and trying to get under them! They are such a joy to watch, but they really are total opposites … she is so tiny, petite, and dainty, with a coat of ‘freckled’ fur, I like to call it … and he’s big, thick, and muscular, all one color, with a coat that shines in just the right light … she has bright golden eyes … his are almost lime green … she eats her food leisurely … he gobbles his down! They’ll be fine together … they have to be … I love them both! We’ve had Moosh for about 6 years now … and I’m so thankful that she came to live on our porch, at the end of September. She doesn’t seem to have grown a bit, either! I can’t wait to see them curl up together in a chair, or on the bed! I’ll get that on film when it happens! Speaking of which … I caught them looking somewhat civil … and, they had some thoughts of their own! She doesn’t look too small here, but in person you really can tell the difference … and, definitely when you pick them up … she’s as light as a feather, he weighs a ton … I really think I need to fatten her up! Well, what are your plans for the weekend? The annual home show is open, and we may go to that. We always enjoy going to look around, and get some new, and fresh ideas. Well, whatever you may do, have a blessed weekend, and stay warm, everyone!
Hugs …
