The Wait for White Death

We are home in Marietta, waiting for the "Winter Storm Watch" to begin.  The region is expecting 4-8 inches of snow & ice over the next 36 hours.  The grocery stores have been packed.  Everything shuts down here and everyone is already rearranging schedules for Monday & Tuesday.    I reeeeeealllly need the hair cut & color scheduled for Tuesday, but it may have to wait.   Good thing I have plenty of diet coke.

Daryl & I had very busy but productive days last Wednesday & Thursday in Edinburgh.  We're all settled for a house (not the one pictured in a previous post);  Daryl will take possession early February and we'll all move in a few weeks later.

Janie had her first Upward Basketball game Saturday morning.  I get so tickled watching the 1st & 2nd graders (particularly the girls) learn to play basketball.  It's like herding cats -- but terribly cute cats!  The ball only bounced off Janie's face once, and she was always at the right end of the court, so we're off to a good start.  She did make a sort-of-lay-up in warm ups.

  2. Haha! "The ball only bounced off Janie's face once...," and, "She did make a sort-of-lay-up..."! Sounds like me in a b'ball game!
