Happy Friday Anticipation

 Friday's are Happy Day's in Jaime Ridler's Next Chapter Book Club.

As you know, it's been a tough week. All of my children have been sick with a stomach/cold type virus, which has left this house flat on it's back.

As terrible as this sounds there were many happy moments involved such as watching our favorite movies, playing some favorite games, napping, reading books and just plain quiet.

Nothing can bring the kiddos out of a health down spiral quicker than our local weatherman's traditional threat of snow. This year, I must say, that Matt Hinkin has been right on the money. Everytime he has said" snow", it's snowed. So maybe in all of this snow happiness I need to stop carrying around the weatherman luggage of winter's past and give him two thumbs up.

Today at 3 pm, and we're holding you to that Matt, it will start snowing. It will not stop until 4 pm tomorrow afternoon. It's too bad the kids are sick and they won't be able to enjoy it…….Are you kidding?

Coughs have been stifled,vick's bottles put away,kleenex properly stored,the question "How ya feelin?" answered with ,"So much better".

The pantry has been stocked, fire wood stacked,mittens and gloves found, thermals folded, the hat basket put out, boots on the shelves, sleds in the garage and coats on the hooks. Now all we need is some snow.And to that I say,"Bring it On!.  Happy Weekend to all.

  7. Isn’t snow fun? You pictures are beautiful. Although I live in a place that is warm once in awhile it snows. As I was eating lunch with a friend today, I looked outside and it was snowing. Everyone in the restaurant was so excited since this does not happen very often. Have a wonderful weekend filled with snow and laughter.

  26. Thank you Jamie. There is such a great magic in winter. Everything ordinary and even ugly is instantly transformed into something of beauty when it is covered in snow. Remember I’m looking at a moment of snow and not a Canadian winter of snow. It’s so easy to romantize it from the Southern United States. Stay Warm!!!!
