Winter Wonderland

Snow???  Yes, a honest-to-goodness snow!!!  Emergency weather reported  8 inches of snow.  Harry thinks it's less here at our house and I believe he's correct.  We are well prepared for staying home even though we don't have to.  Main roads have been plowed.  We would only have about three blocks of real snow/ice to drive over.  Enough about the weather.

For a time I lost interest in reading but that has past.  I'm making a priority list and deciding if I should to buy books, a Kindle, or rely on the library.  The Huntsville Public Library is located on the other side of town.  We do have a branch really close but it doesn't always work well for me.  If I have a book held, the due date is 7 days with no renewal.  That's because someone else has usually requested a hold.  No time to really digest the book and re-read parts that are interesting/meaningful to me.  I guess I am spoiled and cranky but I don't want to feel pressure attached to my leisure time.

Gathering day was fun.  I baked a pork loin and had peas and corn.  It was simple but no one went hungry.  Afterwards some of us enjoyed an episode of Funniest Videos.  Others - namely Uncle Joe (our oldest) and Jesse played a video game that captured Jesse's interest.  Both little ones were excited because of the winter storm warning and the fact that school was cancelled for today.  Pictures of sleding, snowmen, and snowball fights were dancing through their heads.  They did not wake up to disappointment.

Time to wrap up this post and move along with the day.  As usual, thanks for visiting.  Ya'll come back, ya hear.  Hope you are well and happy.
