SATURDAY SNOW DAY

The weekend shifted from Plan A to Plan B on Friday.

I was supposed to go with a group of friends to Terri's lake house in Brown County this weekend. We were ready to enjoy the fireplace, movies and HGTV, someone was bringing a craft, we'd have all the yummy food we could eat, and then some. The conversation would be enjoyed along with the naps and weekend of carefree relaxation.

Then came Winter Storm Gia. Since when did they start naming snowstorms?

With predictions of 5 to 7 inches of the white stuff, we canceled early yesterdy morning. But Terri offered a consolation prize: Why don't we come over Friday night for a soup supper? So we did, joined by two of her sisters and even a craft.

It's after 2 Saturday and Gia is still doing her thing. We've had four or five inches of snow by now, with more coming. We gathered groceries yesterday  and in a couple of hours the Colts will take the field in Kansas City in the NFL Playoffs. Life is good.

I've got McClellan Sisters' Homemade Vegetable-Beef Soup in the slow cooker, the last of the dirty clothes in the dryer and the unexpected snow day is working its usual magic, which means I'm in organizational overdrive. I cleaned out and organized all the tubes, jars, bottles, sprays and other weird bathroom miscellany and then hit my clothes closet.

If the Colts make me nervous, and they will, I'll find something else to organize. Somehow, it's a good activity for me for jazzed-up nerves.

Snow, ice and other winter weather issues take their toll before spring's arrival. But for today, the snowfall is a novelty as the weather has been a breeze so far. The house is cozy, the pantry is full, our team is in the Playoffs! So go Colts! Go Gia!

Donna... We ended up with 9 inches of snow when it was all done. Our younger son cleared off our driveway twice (with his snow blower.) Maybe it is my roots from growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but a snow storm brings out the "kid" in me. I don't mind being outside in the white stuff (as long as I don't have to drive anywhere!)

Debbie,
And it looks like your first granddaughter will share your love of snow and being a "kid" in winter! Loved the video of you all sledding.
