LITTLE HOUSE IN THE SNOW.......................finally

Good morning everyone !

Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours................despite the fact that I prayed for snow and it didn't happen it was a glorious holiday !

I've been feeling a little under the weather and yesterday it escalated into a full blown cold - runny nose - leaking eyes - earache - fever - the works.

Still......................I waited in anticipation when the weather news said to expect a " dump ".
I put my rain boots on - threw on my coat and ran outside - like a kid !

We woke up to a winter wonderland yesterday morning !!!

A few days too late but it's here none the less -
THIS is how it was supposed to look on the 24th - but I'll take it now.


John says - WHAT are you doing outside - you're sick as a dog !
Suzan says - The snow !  Look at the snow !  I almost want to make a snow angel 
John says - Get back in the bloody house !  Do you want to become a real angel ???







A real angel?
No...............not really.

Suzan says - Please tell me you've made a snow angel at least once in your life?
John says - Not likely
Suzan says - Do it now !!!  It's fun !  I'll snap a photo for the blog !

But he came dangerously close to whacking my legs with the shovel


So I ran back in the house
Made a tea
and sat down to record our conversation................
( on my new notebook that one of my daughter's had personalized for me !  No more jumping up and looking for scrap pieces of paper when they happen )


Probably the last recorded one for this year.............


We were supposed to go to a movie tonight ...............
But I feel lousy - and the roads are icy


So..............since we've nowhere to go


Let it snow


Let it snow


Let it snow...................


Have a wonderful day everyone.................
I'm going to crawl back into my bed now - get under the covers and try to sleep this thing away - now where'd I put the Drixoral?


Hugs,
Me
