We had quite a bit too. It is lovely. I have to go out and see some lights with the snow. :)

I'm doin' good. Our weather is wonderful right now. It got back up to 61, but tomorrow our high is supposed to be 25! Sheesh...Texas weather!

What's happenin' your way? Did the kids get a snow-day today? I didn't get my Snow-day (Tony, that is) because I had to go to work too darn early this morning! :o)

Hi ladies!

keeping my self busy in the season of "folly" here.. I swear, just when you think things could NOT be any worse or more problematic.. whammo

despite no plumbing & no heat my biggest concern is Toby's toe pad. He will not stay put. keeps hobbling along all over following me around, as is the pattern of dogs I guess. I do have an appt w/vet tomorrow at 2. Did NOT go today as I thought the furnace guy would be here.. but it is after 6 & still no call or "whites of eyes". The vet is far (90 miles).. long story.

Colleen & Tulip - your tables were thoughtful, appropriate & beautiful. Thank you.

I have designs colleen to do a lovely photo card & have it half pix & half spiritual.. (I am talking about a mailed one).. will send most of my holiday greetings via email , as been the pattern past 5 years or so. Mass letter w/photos.. some don't like it.(and they can find the delete button).. half wondering if I will get ANYTHING done!

Tulip.. I love to do crafty things but this year I am not sure what will happen. I have a BUNCH of wild grape in back yard. Enough for 100s of wreaths.. each year I think I will harvest some & give lots away for folks to use & make a few cutsie things for gifts & each year it is neglected. The grape vines are covering some hardwood trees in the back /side of our property.. and they go hundreds of feet up.

colleen.. is jwalsh07 your hubby?

no clue from profile page & just a curiosity.

My back is hurting & head pretty sore from all the smoke from fireplace. But I did warm up the home a bit & did dry some out a bit. between the oven, dryer, water on stove & the fireplace, things are a bit warmer than last night at same time.

the water continually coming out of the floor drain is another problem. I am shop vacuuming about 5 gallons an hour out. have NO clue where the water is coming from. I am doing laundry (incontinent mom it is a necessity) but all water is going into containers & I am lugging it out to front yard & dumping. NONE is going into "system".

These are the times I miss having a Handy Hubby around.. my futile, at times, attempts to do things is pretty funny when not annoying.

unlimited $$$ permits one to call help when in need.. not an option here.

Your weather is temperamental. LOL!

Booboo didn't have an official snow day but I gave her one anyway. My son was ticked off. He had delayed opening. LOL! He can't miss then he has too much work.

I have to mail you Booboo snow man later. :)

Hey, Dolly...sounds like things are going from bad to worse at your place! How are you keeping warm without heat? Sheesh!

Hope little Toby's toe gets better fast!

Hi Dolly. Sorry about all of your problems. Not a good time of the year to have no plumbing and heat. I feel really bad for you and your Mom. And Toby, is there a Vet emergency clinic you can bring him too? I know they always charge so much money, but if it weren't for them, my pup, Lucy wouldn't be here today. jwalsh07 is my brother, the person who got me hooked on Free Republic.

Prayers for you and yours, Dolly.

Glad you let her stay home. Kids need to be home on the first day it snows so they can have a little fun. Did ya make snow ice cream? Yum!

I will be looking for the snowman. I'll bet it is so cute!

(((((hugs)))))..to BooBoo!
