dealing with ice
now that the great whiteout of ‘07 has happened…….i’ll say that i love this time of year. it just makes me laugh. at the slightest hint of winter weather weathermen go crazy and people react like we’re in for it…..food disappears from grocery store shelves, firewood disappears, reporters start hitting the interstate bridges for news stories, and the town shuts down. granted, there are many many people who make shutting down necessary - those that can’t drive on bad roads and don’t and those that can’t drive on bad roads who do. some of those think i have an SUV and it might have 4-wheel-drive, so i can handle it!”
i just enjoy the time off and love watching it unfold. most of the time everything is safe a few hours into it anyway. take this week for instance. 3 hours after everything was “closed” all our roads were easily driveable and we went out to target and heb. of course, hannah loved getting outside to look for icicles!
since the weather was not great most of the week, we did spend a lot of time indoors. so, hannah, being her creative and imaginitive self filled the role of sandra lee. she got behind her little kitchenette and said “let’s get cooking!” very cute. she makes the most of it!
