Going to Plan B!!!

We had planned to go to dd's in Milwaukee today, but no way! Sorry Mindy, I love your city but don't like the forecast. You already have snow piled up - where are they going to put another foot of it??? Very reminiscent of last year's winter!


We will be able to go dinner at ds' on Christmas Day but our whole family will now get together on January 1st. I tend to go crazy with stocking stuffers so that will give me more time to wrap them.


I hope Bea's trip wasn't too treacherous. It seems everyone is affected by this weather even Lottie. I vote we all go to Betty's for Christmas.


I hope you all stay warm and safe and have a very Merry Christmas. I'm looking forward to 2009 with a new hopeful President. I think he is the only one that can bring all the factions together as he's shown with his cabinet choices. I pray for his safety every day.


I wish you all peace, health and happiness for the New Year!


Hugs,

Good decision, Darby. It's snowing here and DH was out doing weekly grocery shopping when I got up. I slept in late, made up for yesterday when I was up at 4:30. Freezing rain is predicted in mid-IL fr the next 48 hours. If things get bad on the 25th, we won't even venture out on the roads to DSs. I'm still baking cookies, haven't wrapped a thing yet. The last present arrived by mail yesterday. I feel bad about not shopping locally, but some things (like re-mastered old pipe organ records for DH) are definitely not in the stores.

Take care and stay warm,
Jacquie

darb i think plan b is the wisest. the news is reporting that the roads are snow covered and slick,lots of accidents here this morning already. 94 both ways are crawling,semis are stuck,its a real nite mare out there and tomorrow will be much of the same only worse,their predicting 6 more inches in a winter storm system tomorrow. bob is out there snowing blowing as i type,there is no where to go with it in the alley anymore..the hills are 6 feet plus and backing into the garage has become a test of skill as i go between the iced piles of blown snow. but i really really have to get out today,and take my sister to sign up for a health insurance,i hate the thought of it,she isnt that capable of walking in this kind of weather anymore.oh oh here she is now...well you and your family have a wonderful merry xmas..better to celebrate when the weather permits. hugs mindy
