Snow Report From The Compound

 According to my Precip app, we got 8.8" of snow last night.  Phase 1 of snow removal is complete - I cleared off the front porch steps and sidewalk.  Phase 2 will be later this afternoon when I clear off the back porch ramp.  Our road is very clear, thanks to the snow plows that came through.  According to the morning local news, all main roads are clear.  I hope the snow doesn't deter shoppers from coming to the craft bazaar tomorrow.  I'm glad I loaded up everything in the van yesterday afternoon.

Safe And Sound

 I honestly can't remember when I have driven through heavy rain as I did this morning on the Watterson Expressway going to BSF.  It was Jesus take the wheel, and I made it there and back home in crazy traffic safe and sound.  For that I am thankful. 

Crafting Update

 I spent a good part of yesterday and today working on more bottle cap ornaments and pictures to get ready for Saturday's craft bazaar.  I'm on schedule as of now.  Tonight I will fire up the hot glue gun and make another picture and tomorrow after BSF I will glue antlers and tails onto fifteen wine cork reindeer.  So far, so good. 

Stay tuned. 

The Old Man Was Right

 The Old Man and his parents always said that snow waits around for another snow.  They were right.  We still had a little bit of snow hanging around, and this morning we woke to a heavy dusting of snow.  It didn't last long, but the old wive's tale was right.

Never Forget

 

Something You Don't See Every Day

 As I usually do on Saturdays, I went through the drive-thru at the corner liquor store to get my Powerball tickets.  Once again, something caught my eye in the big galvanized garbage can at the end of the store - today, it was an empty Little Debbie Christmas Tree cake box.  At least they had good taste and threw away their empty. 

Happy Wednesday

 For the past few days, I've been working up my courage and strength to go down to the basement, AKA the Dungeon.  I'd been wanting my trusty old Woolrich wool winter coat, and I knew it wouldn't come up the stairs on its own.  I haven't been able to wear that coat in over 20+ years, but with the weight I've lost I was sure it would fit.  So down I went this morning.  I'd been leary of going down to the basement, and even more leary of coming back up, with the couple of falls I've taken over the past couple of years.  But a few days ago, I went down a few steps and back up.  And I knew today was the day. I said a prayer for the Lord to keep His hand on me and keep me safe, and He sure did.  I got my coat and came back up, safe and sound.  I can't wait to go somewhere to wear it.
