Well we made the trip down Friday early afternoon. Thinking we would avoid the approaching snow storm. Unfortunately there was no way to avoid this storm. We did however continue with our trip down and just took it slow.
Here it is Saturday and they are saying we've had 14+ inches of snow and the Walmart in Wadsworth has since closed and sent employees home.
I don't think I remember seeing a storm...

to my weekend away.  I hope to get lots accomplished and I sure did pack enough pictures to last me a looong time!

It had been a long night for Joel, he had snowplowed all his contracts the morning before so he was up all night then went to work 2nd shift.

I can't believe how beautiful something so dangerous can be!  Yesterday because of all the ice and bad road conditions Zach had the day off school. Yet by yesterday afternoon with the sun shinning it looked beautiful!

Now I usually make them out of scrapbook paper and either stamp or embellish according to the holiday.  But then my friend Val shared with me its the same size as a 4 X 6 picture!  Now why didn't I think of that???
First off I found a good picture of my daughter...

you have one day where you seem to be able to conquer the world and the next where nothings seems to go right?
That is what my Monday has been and its only 10:30 am.  Seems we woke up to no heat this morning.  Before calling the furnace repair guy Joel went to check the level of our propane tank, turns out there was only 5% left which would account for the no heat.  You are supposed to have it...
