This was jan 18 2008
I was strolling thru the house at about 4am, so I guess it was actually jan 19 at this time. What do I find???? SNOW!!!!! In the South!!! So what does a good ol midwestern girl, born & raised on the shores of the mighty Lake Michigan, in the surburbs north of Chicago DO???? I run & wake the entire family up!! We get out our `northern' winter gear & get outside in that snow !!! YIPEE!! we drop onto our backs & make snow angels 1st. Then we begin that wee but important snowball that is the start of any good snowman. We had several inches of the white, wet snow. We had a crystal clear morning-still dark. Not a light on in any house in the neighborhood. Oh, the wonderful Quiet of snow. Sounds of the lightly pelting snow turning to sleet Our dogs looking at us, having nothing to do with this. The oldest was raised in the snow-10 inches was nothing for him, but the last few years he has been a southern dog, used to the sweltering heat towards 100. Oh well. We explored-we tore up the snow-footprints & snow men tracks all over the front & back yard ~ leaving snow men in the front & out back. This the child will remember.. We came in took off all the soaking heavy cloths & our fabulous Eddie Bauer boots & had steaming Hot cocoa in bathrobes. Ahhhhhhh what a life.

Oh what fun! We had snow Christmas a few years back and it was so exciting. The first time in decades. The last time was when Kate was a wee tyke. Not enough snow for a snowman, but we enjoyed it regardless.
So glad to see you back. Thanks for updating. We missed you dearly.
Look at that family of snowpeoples. They are so cute.
