Snowy Weekend

 

We got about 6 inches and sleet and wind. Not the possible 15 inches, and I'm just fine with that. 

Our church cancelled services on Friday, and truly we could not have gotten to our church. So we had a slow Sunday morning, and I made a roast beef and potatoes lunch. 

After lunch Mom, Tim, and I played some games. Dad wanted to watch football. Then Tim and I dozed in the living room for a bit. 

On Saturday I hard boiled a bunch of eggs, and I used some of them to make egg salad for dinner last night, and then Tim and I watched a detective show on Acorn.

We both have been using our vibration plate, me on the lowest setting and Tim on the running setting. 

At the end of this week, our youngest local grand will be Five! Time really does fly, doesn't it?

Tim and I have been stopping what we are doing at 9:00pm most nights and taking a few minutes to pray for our nation. Will you join us? There are dark forces from within our nation who want to destroy it. But God is able and He's at work! What a privilege to be a part of His work in the World.

We try to get my parents out on a day trip about once a month, and this time it was to Washington Crossing. We drove around the park (very cold, and they don't do a lot of walking) drove over the Delaware River, at lunch in New Jersey, and had a lovely time.

The river had ice in it and we could imagine them crossing in similar conditions, except they did it at night.

It was a turning point in the fight for Independence, and was great to visit in the year of our 250th Anniversary as a nation!

The left can scream and lie and say that Trump is a fascist, but it's not true. The world is changing for the better, and I'm all for it. 

This is not something that I was aware of! Scary how many enemies have been trying to destroy the United States.

Tulsi Gabbard gives an excellent report of the first year as DNI.

Happy, Happy news for the Vance Family!

We are expecting a lot of snow this weekend. How about you?

The Sun Is Shining After A Weekend Of Snow

 

We had snow Friday late into Saturday morning, and it was beautiful. Tim and I slept in and got a text from Rachel wondering if we'd like to join her for late breakfast at a local grill. 

Of course, we did! When your adult kids invite you, you go! So off we went and the roads were mostly clear, except one, and we got their fine. While there we watched it snow big flakes at one point and enjoyed our time together. By the time we headed home, the snow had stopped and the roads were clear!

My plan for the day was to completely clear the counters in the kitchen and give everything a good cleaning.

I did this and am pleased with it! I didn't think to take photos until after dinner when we were playing Mexican train with my parents and our granddaughter Kamryn.

This round I had more tiles not in my train than I had in my train! I still did okay and I think I ended with only two tiles left. We had fun.

Art work in my bedroom

Saturday night into Sunday morning we got two more inches of snow, and our church met for one service at 10:30. We had about 40 people there. To be fair our young adults were away on a retreat, but we do run about 200 people on a Sunday morning. For us the roads we travel to church were just slushy, but many townships don't plow out as fast, or as well, as others. Plus, I can't blame people for deciding to just stay home. The temps are low these days!

We didn't have our grands with us, so we were free to go to lunch with friends. The restaurant we went to was not busy at all and so we had a lovely lunch, and a great time talking. We could take our time, and we did, since the restaurant was not busy.

We came home to a relaxing afternoon, and bit of a snooze, and a visit with our friend Denny.

Tim has office work today, and is right now shoveling the driveway, after a bit more snow in the afternoon yesterday. He'll clean off his Suburban and then come into work in the office.

I should be at Bible study right now but with the low temps, and iffy roads (for some) our leader decided we'd postpone until next time! I'm just fine with that!

What are you up to today? I think I should do a bit of vacuuming and dusting. Bit by bit it all gets done.

Now that the holidays are over and we've had some snow, I'm starting to think about my garden beds. Dreaming of blue hydrangea along the side of the garage. It'll be gorgeous every year!

Wow! Where to start today?

How about with reminders of why ICE is in Minnesota. Remember all the fraud? The Somali daycares, and other care services? All fraud?

Here is their governor trying to get people to harass ICE and interfere with their arresting of illegals.

Tim Walz also refused police protection at the State Capitol for the Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent this week!

This is why the insurrection act is likely going to have to happen. These blue cities and states feel like they can go against the President doing his sworn duty to protect the citizens.

Here are a few more things of interest.

I think people are nervous about Greenland because we haven't purchased any new land since we bought the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1917. No living American can remember that!

Funny how Greenland is closer by plane than Anchorage AK from DC.
