~It Got Us~ :-)

The snow sure hasnt missed us this time.. I

got up this morning to at least 2 inches of

snow already out there. I took that picture

of what I will call my snow gauge.. Just to

see how much we get.. I heard on the radio

this morning that we are under the gun till

TOMORROW night! Winds of up to 35 mph.

white out conditions.. Blizzard warnings.. The

emergency snow routes have been designated

and I bet by this afternoon no one will be

allowed out on the roads.. by tonight for sure
Squirrley is covered in snow, hes been out there stuffin his face
for an hour! :-) You can see how heavy snow is coming down...
Im using the sunflowers and those others as my depth gauge.. this
was at 9 this morning... Snow, snow, snow.. :-)
Female Cardinal in the center ... :-) Amazing the birds are out in force..
Glad I have food out there.. :-)

Travis was due to come by today and I called

him at 10 and told him not to try it.. There

hasnt been that first plow out there YET and

the roads are not cleared.. My driveway wont

be plowed probly not till tomorrow, so I am

having doubts if Penny will be able to make it

here tomorrow either, so I'm glad I stocked

up on everything.. This time we are gonna get

it.. We've been lucky so far but well we all

got to have our turn.. I'm glad I just don't

have to be out in it... I was surprised that

Travis was even at work.. He lives up in

Kalamazoo.. I told him to keep a watch.. If

he doesn't pay attention he may get stuck

there if they don't allow anyone on the

roads.. I know schools are either closed

already or on 2 hr delay to see if it might

open, which no.. this IS a SNOW DAY!! :-)

I loved snow days, no school! Only thing was

my dad had a jeep.. he could have taken me,

4 wheel drive it goes anywhere.. I'm glad

the kids have 4 wheel drive vehicles.. Donnie

and Kelli both do.. They have long drives to

work so they need that in bad weather. But

if this keeps on.. IF? :-) lets say, by this

afternoon.. they most definitely WILL have

to use the 4 wheel drive.. If Donnie gets

sent home early I know what hes gonna do..

Hes probly prayin now.. "Come ON SNOW!"

Hes anxious to ride his snow mobile :-)

Ive been asked about the Porcupine meatballs..

D.. it does NOT compare to Road Kill Racoon :-)
too funny :-D... Its the same stuffing I put into

my green peppers or cabbage leaves.. Ground

meat with rice.... cooked in tomato sauce.. The

rice sticks out and looks like porcupine quills..

They were so good! I use this new 4 cheese

tomato sauce by CLASSICO.. Good? If you

use Ragu or Progresso you will like this even

better, trust me.. Its really good.. I just poured

it over the porkies and baked them, covered

of course... about an hour, so the meat is cooked,

I use cooked rice...

I have no plans other than to make 3 aprons, 2 for

Pennys grand daughters and a matching one for

Penny.. The girls plan to go over and make stuff

for a valentines party, cookies.. so I told Penny

I would make them all aprons.. I sent one as a

test sizer and it fit perfectly.. :-) So I got it

back just to froo froo it up.. :-) Put some lace

and ruffles on it.. You know how little girls love

the frillies.. :-)

So.. that means its post time for this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE and I'm havin those left over porkies

out there in the fridge.. I KNOW they will be even

better today.. AND.. I had Penny get some of my

favorite soda yesterday..Creme Soda... I love that

stuff and its been so long since I even thought

about getting some, but I saw it on TV! Made me

think of it.. I had a can last evening.. it was SO

good.. only 1.. I learned.. I made NO potty call

last nite so I did good :-) Time to close.. but

remember.. I shall return!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
