Where are we today

        Hmmm. woke up this morning to find it snowing, they are calling for 12 cm (5 inches). Not as cold but snowing, this is what happens here in the winter, the main reason we head south to the desert for the winter months.
        The grands went to school yesterday, their first day back after Christmas break. But with this weather the school buses are cancelled today, they have a snow day, no school !
       So we have a busy day with the 3 of them home and Fergie the puppy, but they are all good, They have chores too do as well as school work. Not a problem here and fun to have them around for the whole day.
       At 8:30 I moved our car so my daughter could get her's out for work. And while I was in the car anyway, just slipped and slided  to the Rec. centre to make use of their indoor walking track again. Got a couple miles walked inside was so nice to get the exercise in a warm  place.
fitness  centre cold and snowy
but nice inside
      After lunch whip over two the grocery store for a couple of things and slipped and slided  back home, sure glad we don't have to travel far today
Parking lot snow piles
main roads not great
back roads are worser
       Fooled around with grands for a while then we had a bite for lunch, next I prepped 10 lbs of back ribs for supper, everyone likes ribs. In the oven all spiced up and sauerkraut slow roast for a couple hours until tender. then removed the kraut slather with BBQ sauce,brown sugar and spices to finish them off. In the meantime boiled some sweet potatoes, mashed with butter and brown sugar, some Bushes baked beans and coleslaw, now we have a feast.
      One grandson went for his Karate after they went tobogganing with their mom, supper time, then another went to Hockey practice. All busy times here.
        In between  stuff we shovelled the snow that just kept coming down, darn sure we do not miss this snow shovelling. Keep the snow away before the rains coming tonight that will make it much heavier.

       Now that was a fun winter day keeping warm, and keeping busy. Glad that y'all stopped by. tomorrow is Ma's celebration of her life.
        Hope you had a nice warm winter day somewhere warm.

  7. Well, it sucks about the snow (probably mostly melted at this point), but at least you avoided the bitter cold we had leading up to it over the last few days. Yikes!
    Any time there's flying involved anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line, it can be troublesome. Hope you can get back out to the South again OK.
