Thinking of Josiah

OH! THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.

TERRIFICALLY COLD TUESDAY

~Yes - it IS cold. 27* counts as cold. It's also snowing - photos below. I'm hoping for enough snow to get a hand print photo like Cindy took. That would be cool. Maybe impossible around here though.

~The day began with the grain mill seizing up AGAIN - I had just enough flour to make biscuits and gravy - Jamin's request.

~I braved the elements and wild drivers to drive to Bank of America and hand deliver a check. That rascally payment should be credited by tomorrow a.m.

~I made a ton of phone calls: netflix (wanting to know why the credit card won't work), Nenana School district, NARHS, all Bible Study ladies, Adrienne, (Heather called me twice - does that count???), AK USA, BreAnne...

~We did school. I cried when Betsy told Corrie there was no pit deep enough that God's love couldn't reach....and then she died.

~Meatloaf, oven baked fries (loving that french fry slicer), and potato/cauliflower soup for dinner

~Stacia didn't nap today; I'm looking for an early evening for her.

~Plan to read Jungle Book and then see how I spend my quiet hours....maybe reading, maybe read some blogs, maybe study, maybe catch an old movie.....

Debbie's Chuckle of the Day

Stacia finds GUM...which I didn't even realize was in the house....

Michael's Transportation

Meanwhile.....the rest of our family enjoys something a bit warmer than snow....LOL

Sling Time

Every few days Stacia will bring me her sling. She's cute. I was surprised to round the corner today and find this....

Stacia meets S*N*O*W*

hmmm.....it's a bit cold out here


What is THIS???Arielle & Zander introduce Stacia to snow...



Proper Winter Attire???




These little two have no clue whatsoever about snow.....we've got big, fat, lazy flakes now as opposed to teeny, tiny ones yesterday. They are saying we'll get 2 - 4 inches tonight. I cancelled Bible Study. All ya'all Northerners - I've finally figured it out - and I've been in YOUR shoes remember I'm recently from AK - it makes SENSE to cancel things and highways shut down when we get a bit of ice and snow.....BECAUSE....none of us have studded tires, winter tires....no one is sanding the roads, and believe me many down here don't know HOW to drive in this stuff. We had 76 accidents yesterday. I cancelled study - I'm not taking a chance of getting clobbered from behind when I slow for a stop sign. ::snort::
