I love snow! I even have snow dishes. (I have a weakness when it comes to dishes) The past few years have been just about snowless (did I just make a new word?) around these parts and I haven't brought them out. But with the forecast favorable I decided it was time.
Finally Snow came to us in the form of more than a dusting or worse yet flurries. On Saturday, January 30 we were awaken to the sound of snow falling. A friend told me it was sent to me by my Momma, who left us two years ago on January 30th, knowing it would be a bittersweet day for me a real snow would cheer me up.
From my front porch around eight Saturday morning.
The two kitties stuck their noses out and looked at me as to say I was CRAZED if I thought they would go out in that cold white stuff and hightailed it back inside to fill their tummies and eat.
But the dog and granddog were overjoyed as was I.
Emily still isn't sure about snow but she at least wasn't crying while out in it today.
Today the sun is out shining bright and even though it is below freezing it is melting. So the grand-babies and their cousins got busy this morning with sliding down the hill in the grand-babie's back yard.

Jake had marinated and grilled pork loins, his mom made stringbeans, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc. I took rolls.
There were gift cards, money, clothes, key chain for his truck keys, etc.
Here is Nana O'Bryan with Justin and Jake on either side of her before she had to leave to go back home.
She lives in America Samoa and she has a web-store which has yummy Samoan and Hawaiian fabrics at delightful prices. Look at these seven beauties I ordered from her.
Coming all that distance you'd think it would take weeks but I got them in just a few days.
Don't know where the past four years went but Laura is four today!!! We gathered and celebrated family and friends making her day very special.
Laura and sister Rachel who will be three in two weeks.

Laura and Rachel picked out the decoration for his cake.
Their Momma said he was very lucky it wasn't a princess cake!
was ill. Doctor was afraid of lymphoma and she had early stages of kidney disease. But she perked up and was back to her usual self for almost a year. And it was decided she didn't have lymphoma. Then all of a sudden she started acting strange. I took her in and she was full of lymphoma tumors and nothing to do but send her to heaven for healing there. Picked up her ashes after Christmas. This was the same veterinarian who had to send our precious Beau (Black Lab) to heaven on the 23rd of December nine years ago and had not forgotten.
