Sure is pretty while it lasts
We
decided that it would be a good idea and pack everyone in the Suburban and
drive over to our friend’s cabin and take hot showers. We figured it would be
helpful with the steam and all along with sitting on their leather couch
watching a movie on the Hallmark Channel.
We
didn’t realize that the country is not the city and certain roads are not on
the plow list so basically the road to their house was closed due to thick ice
and the possibility of sliding off a cliff and dying in a fiery ball of death. The
local authorities are such drama queens. J
Plan
II: take a little drive and see how beautiful things get when they have a
blanket of snow on them.
The great part
of living where we do is the fact that tomorrow it will be much warmer and all
the snow will melt and be gone along with the inconvenience.
Sure is pretty
while it lasts.

The Arkansas endurance illness
Just thought you like to know how we’re doing with the influenza outbreak of 2013. We’re going on the eighth day of what I like to call the Arkansas endurance illness.
We are all at different stages,
with me being the first who got it; I’m at the last leg and feeling much better
with Echo and Josiah running a close second to shaking this thing.
The most frustrating part of
all this, besides being sick for the last 8 days, is the fact that the local
authorities have said there’s nothing that can be done so stay home and let it
run its course.
Easier said than done.
I don’t wish this on my worst
enemy … okay maybe my worst enemy.
Sorry if this doesn’t seem
right I’m not running on all cylinders.
The morning surprise
Yesterday we awoke to a cold foggy morn. 11 degrees cold.
Today we woke to snow and 18 degree cold.
I guess the beach is out.
