This snow fell in about an hour.
Photos of the snow at Sandy's.
26 degrees outside and 72 inside. We have enough snow cover to wish you a nice awakening to another day on the planet earth.
My glasses have a drop of water on them so excuse me while I go clear the lenses.
We have just come back from a trip to Lexington Kentucky where mom had to have a works skills test on a fancy machine called "Ergos ™ Work Simulator" Where she was evaluated on her work skills after being run over by a 13 year old boy running wild through the aisles of the Walmart store where mom worked (she was hurt pretty bad).
We left a little early to go to Lexington because there was a storm forecast for the day we left to go to Lexington. We traveled ahead of the storm and made it to mom's appointment on time. When we left to visit my sister in Berea, Kentucky it started spitting slush until we got to Sandy's. As soon as we pulled into her driveway the bottom fell out and we had a least 3 inches of snow on the ground.
I guess while taking her test she caught a cold from the stress of the test so the day we were supposed to leave the road conditions were seriously bad and mom was in no mood or condition to be on the highway so we cancelled our trip back home and Sandy and Jimmy graciously let us stay another day in their home. We did not see anyone else but Sharon and Megan because they were snowed in (they had baby pictures and no storm or slippery roads were going to stop them from showing grandma (Sandy) the photos.) So we met them at Cracker Barrel for brunch.
Our visit was very nice and comfortable and we had feast (that evening) the same day we went to Cracker Barrel, the doctor (for Mom), and of course to Walmart (it was in the same parking lot as the doctor's office).
The day of the stress test and after we arrived at Sandy's we went out to dinner in the slippery snow (that afternoon) and if we had another vote as to whether to go out to dinner that night we would of said no. We had a good time out but the roads were really bad (really bad). So bad that children could sled down the streets on their sleds and not have to find a hill to slid on (imagine three scared people and Jimmy driving on our trip to dinner). Now that is a slick road.

  1. It's been a long time since I've been out on a slippery road sliding from one side to another, but with You and Laurel in the car, it was fun and an adventure.

    Jimmy & I thoroughly enjoyed having you two here and it was fun playing Scrabble and Rook with both of you after our feast. There's nothing like being snowed in with people you love to be with anyway.

    Love you and drop in again soon.
