Home Sweet Home

It is wonderful to be home - - safely inside a warm house. We actually got the forecasted snow. Often, it will not happen because when our weather hits the mountain, it will sometimes divert around us. Unfortunately that did not happen today. Many, many children and youth are excited but commuters had a horrific time getting home. Our road crews will treat the roads but you generally don't see snowplows like you do up north. So we wait for a thaw on our secondary roads.

One of our cars is at the bottom of our hill in a neighbor's yard. Our neighbor across the street was able to drive our new car up our hill into our garage. My husband got almost to the top and the momentum quit due to the ice of the melted snow. You don't want to know the number of attempts that were made. However, backing back down and up another hill, R was able to get enough speed to make it the last few feet to the top.

So we are house-bound a day or two and not complaining. We have plenty of projects and when we're not working, there are plenty of books to read. I am praying that we don't lose any power though!

Sorry I don't have pictures to show you this time since we have a significant accumulation to make a pretty photograph. . . . . I still haven't taken the camera anywhere to be fixed.

Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter. Psalm 74:17
