As it turns out, snowboards make great sleds! Leave it to a couple of ingenious kids to figure that one out....
We ended up with 1.5 - 2 inches of snow today! Unheard of in Atlanta, especially given that we had a bit of snow a few days ago. Very exciting stuff.
As my husband and I hurried through our neighborhood Kroger to grab a few things before we got "snowed in" (not likely even as it looked like a blizzard, but you never know, and I prefer to live as the boyscouts suggest: "Be Prepared"), I so wished I had grabbed my camera. It was quite comical the way everyone was whizzing by grabbing everything they could get their hands on. I had to supress laughter more than a few times at the crazed and worried faces I passed. The store was quickly selling out of meats, some canned goods, paper goods, etc. It was such a bizarre scene!
*To you who have mentioned similar memories and pains of childhood, and of life now - thank you thank you! I have found blogging to be such a release from the painful past and such a great outlet for so much - pain, laughter, wonder, thoughtfullness, and comfort. It's both wonderful and sad to me that this anonymous and somewhat removed voice has found others...others I will likely never meet, though would most certainly have an instant bond with in person. I think of you during my day and always look forward to reading your words.*

It looks like the kids had a great time in the snow!
Living on a mountain myself, I'm frankly a little tired of the snow. I haven't seen our grass for weeks now & the sun makes rare, short appearances LOL :)
That is one big dog (and I love your bathroom!!!!) What I wouldn't give for tile again *sigh*
Hope you don't actually get snowed in! ;)
HA! Sesms like I can't come here without leaving two comments. No matter how long I sit with the first, I always have just one more thing to say...
Thank you for your last entry. It really truly motivated me to get out and RUN! I did it this morning - not outside (BRRR) but on the treadmill. My legs are blissfully achy tonight and I can't wait to get back on again!
The scene of everyone running about getting canned goods is hysterical! Here in Boston we don't start to freak until after we have a foot of snow on the ground and it doesn't look like we're going to make it to the store at all. Actually, even then we don't freak out!
