Guess what????

Oh my....guess what???? Yes, it's official....we are awaiting a winter snow storm! Woofreakinhoo! 3-6 inches possible along with ice....they are already preparing the roads with salt. We should begin getting the snow early morning and all day until Sunday. Hmmmm, I wonder if we will get snowed in? Needless to say the girls are thrilled....and really, we are too. It's been 2 1/2 years since we have seen snow! Thank goodness I packed our winter wear. (Lori, I do believe this is the storm you were telling me about!)

Today was great. We started off the day at "The Thrill of the Hunt" which is a great new antique warehouse. It was unbelieveably well organized and had great prices. I saw several pieces I would have loved to have had. From there we went to Mast General and (Marian, you will love this) we broke our previous record and spent $46 on candy! LOL....this is the store that has the HUGE barrels of candies, from past and present. We had a great time looking and picking things that we aren't used to seeing or have never tasted. The candy usually lasts a good month or so....and some even gets thrown away but that's okay. It's money well spent on memories....

We also had lunch at the Moose Cafe....oh man, was it good! I had the baked chicken with mashed potatoes and dressing and glazed carrots. I tell ya, they give you so much food! I took pics and will post them when I get home. My aunt and I went to the grocery store and stocked up for the weekend, just in case we are stuck....right now John is changing the furnace filter for my aunt, Betsy is doing homework and wee one and Connie are playing their 18th game of dominoes....as you can see, they play every spare second they have! LOL.

Well, I'm off to settle in for the evening. We made some coffee and have some dvd's....I can't wait to have a REAL cozy evening (not the kind I usually have, turning the ac up and pretending it's cold out! LOL)

oh my God!!!! God is really blessing you. a snow storm I wish it were me. I prayed for 3 yrs for a snow storm and It finally happened the week of christmas.  ( I just got my next idea for my next entry in my journal lol .) anyway I was so happy about the storm because I had to call in for 6 days from work. I got to be off on christmas and spend the night with my daughter and two grandbabys on christmas eve. my boyfriend came and got me in an enclosed golf cart and took me to the woods with the animals and log cabin it was just awesome!!! I wish it would happen again. I live in Memphis Tn so I doubt it but I can dream. I love country stores. I would love to get some candy like that. my favorite memory of my grandfather was going to his country store and getting all the candy I wanted. WOW!!! It sounds like all of you are having a wonderful time.

Sounds like you are all having a blast!!  We have recently, finally, acquired a DVD player & if my hubby would ever get it hooked up we might be able to watch a DVD movie and join the rest of the world in this new way to view movies.  Maybe, someday... well glad you are enjoying the scenery and snow!!  Food sounds great!  LOVE buying candy and making memories of vacations!!
