Our First Big Snow

Yesterday, we had our first big snow. It started about 10:30 and it came fast.
We had lucked out on all the snow that hit up north, I was keeping my fingers
crossed that we would make it to Spring without big snow fall. I left work and
headed my car in the parking lot. Cars were sliding everywhere. My plan was
to drive two blocks to the Stonewall Jackson's Parking Garage and leave my car
overnight. Drove straight there, no hills, no turns and made it safe and sound.
Walked another two blocks home and hunkered down for the big snow.

 What a difference a day makes, came out about noon to take pictures and shovel my
way out. To keep the kitchen warm, I made Oatmeal Peanutty Cookie treats and a clear
broth soup with fresh herds celery and garlic.

 These treats will give me energy to go get my car out of the garage and to dig out
a place to put it in front of the house so that I can get to work tomorrow. Kind of
nice to have a snowcation day!

Baby It's Cold Out Side

This week has been a real eye opener. Monday it felt like a
Spring day, I was busy in the store and sold items on my Ebay
site and my Etsy site. I new the snow storm was coming so I headed
to the UPS store and got my package out to Arizona to get it going
the opposite way of the storm. I made sure I had plenty of fruit, coffee,
soup mixes, and basic items in the kitchen in case I got snowed in. I got up
early Tuesday to get ready for a possible drapery installation. At 7:00 am
looked out the window, dark, cloudy and no snow. I got in the shower to
get ready and heard Elfie barking, barking alot. Came out to see what the
fuss was all about and this is what I saw.....

So, the drapery installation was canceled, I made some more coffee and started to
plan my day, do to the situation at hand.  I watched a couple of talk shows and went
on line. I figured I had to get to the store to catch the postman to send out two packages
to California, since I couldn't mail them Monday, MLK day, no mail right. I had two
questions on Etsy about items in my store that I couldn't answer from home. So Elfie and
I made the trip in on foot. A friend had cleared the side walk off in front of my store, +1,
answered the Etsy questions, had some customers and caught up with the post man. Went
back home at 3:00 pm to this......

I left out the picture of my car which is totally snowed in, I will have to close up early
today to go back and dig it out before the next snow storm hits tomorrow. I do have
the drapery installation rescheduled for tomorrow of course, lets see if that happens!
