Just ONE of the Joys of Being a Grandma!

I received this note recently. I don't know where he got the idea that I had something wrong with my foot, because that simply is not true. No doubt he heard something and thought I had something wrong though. Such a sweet note! From a very sweet boy!
It's snowing today, but it's pretty light, and we don't expect it to amount to much. Much better than the ice we were getting!!!
The boys are here for the day, so I'm staying pretty busy, but not getting much done. It really doesn't matter though....everything I have to do can be put off for a while longer.
The snow is falling heavier now...so we can HOPE it will continue!
Well, the boys are pretty quiet....wonder why? Better go check!
OH....by the way, can you correct the sentence in the note? It's a little tricky!

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful!

Staying in is so delightful!
And since I've no place to go...
I will update the blog...don't ya know!

Yes....I know. It's a pitiful attempt. If only Bobbie had been here it would have been much better!
We do have ice, but not nearly what they were telling us to expect, thankfully! There's more coming though, so it could still be worse. The temperatures here warmed up through the night which is why we don't have as much ice as the forecast had indicated. It was 34 degrees when we got up, but has fallen again to 32 now. A couple degrees could make a huge difference!

Since I'm "off" today, I figured it was a good time to update the blog. Saturday I celebrated my birthday with my Red Hat chapter. Well, actually just two members of our chapter and me. We went to Carthage for lunch at the Plum Tree Restaurant and then a "Trans-Siberian" performance of "A Christmas Wish" by the local talent. I was quite surprised to find that there is such a lot of talent in Carthage! I am not typically a fan of "rock" music, but this was well done, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Before the concert, we browsed through a few stores around the square. Bobbie and Sherry made several purchases, and I found a few items as well. It reminded me of another day of shopping around the square in Carthage, but that's another story.
Maybe I'll share that story someday, but it's one of those "you had to be there to fully appreciate it" stories. Suffice to say that we laughed our lunch off, and I have the golden rose to prove it!

And here's the very latest on our "ice storm". This picture was taken at 8:15AM. It looks very much like the pictures from December 1st!
