[My] Life in Wisconsin

Before Our Flintville Christmas

Thank You!



Good Morning All;
And a "Holly~Jolly" two days after to everyone!
Once more I have been having many problems with my computer, and the fact that Multiply chooses the heart of the day to do its updating-  So, I did what any normal person does on the day after... I napped like a kitten with a full belly.

Nice when sleep comes... I had gotten those shots in my back on Christmas Eve- Not a bit of relief either, but we made it there and back without any real problems on the roads of ice/snow.

I hope your Christmas was "wunnaful", though I know many people had many problems with the weather.  Knowing that my sister Barbara was on the road with her hubby as they headed west to Texas was not a happy thought-  I haven't heard from them, and am assuming all is well.

William and Lawrence called on Christmas Eve- So nice to hear those voices on the other end of the line!  All is well in Prattville- threatening rain, but at that point had very little that actually fell.  Lawrence sounding so very grown up!

As far as the storm went, (and it went far and wide), I hope everyone hunkered down to enjoy a quiet, safe and warm day; where ever you might have ended up.


This photo stolen from NOAA- showing what this storm was like on the eve of Christmas Eve.


NOAA CLOUDS
This NOAA satellite image taken Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009 at 12:45 a.m. EST shows a developing storm system in the Southern Plains, which is generating a mix of snow and freezing rain over eastern Colorado and Kansas. Moreover, widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are noted across the Southern Plains and Mississippi Valley.



Then this picture on Christmas Day, actually showing an "eye" in Minnesota...

This is what it left behind here...

Casey and Greg were out bright and early trying to remove snow and ice so people could actually get to the front door without killing themselves in the process.

This picture, taken on Christmas Eve- As the snow just kept on coming down. And just enough to screw up the sidewalks too.

No hat???

Not too chilled, but a fresh glass of eggnog always warms up the innards!

And the nog that won't flow out of the cup? No problems. (And no need for a thorough pre~rinse either when this dog is around).

I promise the glass got washed... hehehe

It helps too, to warm up by playing a bit...


Cnv1917

Sheesh kids, hasn't your mama ever told you not to play on the steps???

Colors of Christmas also warm the spirit...

I'd better close for now- Darn computer wants to do a bit of updating, and I must update my shower for the day!

Hope you are all having a very special Christmas Week!
My love to all

XOXO

Is anyone else's anti~virus all over Multiply this morning?
