SNOW! FOR THE LOVE IT SNOWED!!!!!

It snowed here, I mean really snowed. We got like 6 inches. I have never in my life seen it snow as hard at it snowed on Sunday! It was great! The only draw-back to the snow was that my camera has officially died. Boo hoo. I was so aggravated. The biggest snow I've ever seen and my camera won't work. That's the way it goes. But, despite the lack of a camera we still had a great time in the fluffy white stuff. My kids made 4 snowmen. There was a Mommy, a Daddy, an R, and an E snowman. It was so cute. The snow has turned treacherous though. My porches and steps are all icy and I just about busted it trying to get out of the house this morning, but it was worth it all just to have the snow. Now that is has snowed, I am ready for spring!! Bring it on!!

I wrote last week that my husband was taking me out Friday night. Well, Friday night turned out to be a really messy night and we had to alter our plans. We didn't get to go Downtown but he did take me to see Bride Wars at the Value Cinema. The tickets are only $2 and the movies are pretty new, we had a great time! Bride Wars was a great movie, even my husband liked it. After the movie, we went to a tavern called The Blind Pig. The make THE BEST hamburgers. Yum, Yum, Yum. Saturday, my church was hosting a viewing of Fireproof. I hadn't seen it before and was not looking forward to it. I'm so glad we went! It was a wonderful movie and it really got to my husband. Woo Hoo!

Sunday, we had a breakfast at church cooked by the youth. It was fabulous! Then my Wednesday night boys sang "Strong Tower" during the service. I was so proud of them. The congregation gave them a standing ovation! On the way out of the church it started sleeting really hard. You should have seen all the blue haired ladies trying to get out to their cars. The men were very chivalrous and walked them out with umbrellas, it was so very Southern Gentlemen like. We had to go to the grocery store after church and before we could get back out to the car it had started snowing. Did I mention, it SNOWED!

I know this has turned out to be a rather long post but please indulge me just one story further. Today would have been my Granddaddy's 92nd birthday. My grandaddy was a truly unique personality! One of my favorite stories about him took place when he was probably 13 or 14 years old. Grandaddy owned a car, yep he had a Ford Model A with an oogie horn at the age of 13. During the Depression he charged the boys in his town a dime a week for rides into town and back from work, but on the weekend my entrepreneurial Granddaddy charged them a quarter to take them to the "Cat House". He would sit in the kitchen with the cook while the older guys had their good time. I giggle every time I think about the stories people tell on him. My granddaddy's pet name for me was Meanie (I don't have a clue why ha ha). He died a couple of years ago and I miss him dearly, but I can honestly say he lived his life exactly the way he wanted to. Happy Birthday Granddaddy!

I hope you all have a very wonderful Tuesday!
