Enough Fun Already!!!

Good evening friends.  Yes as you know already, we got our SNOW!!  No not 6, 10, or 14 inches, we were blessed with between 2-4 inches.  Just enough to shut down our interstates and city.  It became so bad, our mayor of Atlanta was interviewed on the Today Show this morning.  There were people stranded all night on the highways and school children who slept on floors in the schools. 

 

What does one do here in the South when we get snow?  Go to the grocery store of course and buy like the snow will never melt.  Well, Holly and I are true southern ladies and we did just that.  We did buy good food to cook for our men, but the best of all was getting away with buying junk food.  And that we did.  Have you ever tried Dill Pickle flavored Pork Rinds???  Sounds yuk, huh?  But actually they were really good.  Darbee Rae had to bake a confetti cake with "hot pink" icing and sprinkles.

 

On day two, we were ready for some bought food.  Mr. P. was so kind and drove on slick streets to go pick up lunch for us.

 

 

 

During the day, Mr. P. kept Darbee Rae busy playing outside.   You saw some of those pictures on my last post and on Holly's.

 

But as we settled in for the evening and all the outside activities were over for the day, Darbee Rae became bored really quick.  She is one that keeps busy doing something.  Holly happened to think about the old electric typewriter she had and brought it out for Darbee Rae to play with.  She had so much fun typing on it. Sad to think that is all we use to have. {smile} She wrote a note for me and her

Papa

 

You can click on picture to make it bigger so you can read her sweet message.  I love this child, can you tell?

 

Wasn't hard for us adults to find something to busy ourselves.  The men had the t.v., Holly had her computer and I was doing a new craft.  Valarie who is a friend on face book and has her own blog had shown a scarf she had made with her fingers.  It was called finger knitting.  I had never heard of it, so off to YouTube to find out how to do it.

 

 

I decided to make a small scarf for Darbee Rae.  It is so easy and fast.  So much fun.  Poor child wanted to make one herself, but her little fingers were to small.  Thought it turned out really cute.

 

 

 

Mr. P. and I left for home before dark as the roads were still pretty bad. They had become icy and again , we are not use to driving in this kind of weather. As much fun as we had staying the night at Holly's and playing in the snow , it's always good to be home.

  

 

UNTIL........We woke this morning with NO water.  Mr. P. took me back to Holly's for the day. I was not a happy camper to get out with the temp. at 1 degree.  WHAT?  here in Ga and it's one?  No wonder we had no water.  We have lived here in our home 35 years and this was a first for us.

The sun came out about lunch and we were just itching to get out.  You know us girls like to go shopping and eat lunch out.  Being very careful...that is just what we did.

 

 

See, they even cleaned off the streets just for us. Bet they knew there would be some

  ladies that would want to help the economy.

 

  Luckily when Mr. P. came in from work, he found the problem with our water  and now we are blessed to have our water back.  I am so blessed to have married a man who is a "jack of all trades".  We are blessed that he can do so much himself. and save us dollars.

 

Tonight here at the home place all is well.  There are still some slick spots on the roads, and school is called off again tomorrow, but I have to say we have survived our annual snow storm here in GA.  It was fun, beautiful, and we had so much fun.  But I am quick to admit enough already.  I have a new respect for all of my friends who have and are still getting so much snow in your area.  Want to come South for a few days?  Just pray, you are no where near during one of our little snow episodes. So this concludes all my post on this snowfall.  Can't wait to show you a special family prim treasure Mr. P. brought to me a while back.... That's my next post.  

 

Until next time
