~ Well, at least I got prepared for the weekend yesterday ~

>> See <<> And the one big thing that has happened, is that it has snowed - since last night - and right now we're having some spits and drips of sleet, rain and snow all mixed together, making it downright horrid for anybody trying to go anywhere on the roads <

Not, of course, that there are ANY people out on the roads ..but there may be one or two up on Ocean Highway, an' if there are, well, they are probably not having fun - there are very few snow plows here > since it is the coastline of the state along parts of here > an' so the odds of the highway getting "cleaned" off are slim. But I know there are people who probably think they can get to where they want to be. Hope they know it's gonna take them probably double the amount of time to do that.

And so it's sitting inside today - no going out for me - but noah is looking around the sheds and such, making sure that everything is ship shape. We heard some cars out earlier, but mostly trucks w/4-wheel drive. I watched one of the neighbor kids go zipping down our dirt road like a wild banshee a little bit ago - 'course, he does that on a regular basis, so it isn't really all that odd - but today he was having extra sliding power goin' on - the snow hadn't been touched, so he was making the most of it. I'm doubly glad I got some ART supplies yesterday while I had the chance -

Found some chipboard shapes - actually a nifty little box of shapes - with nice pastel colors - GREAT price - $1.50 - I MEAN - how can somebody pass THAT up!!?? An' I also found some letter stickers, an additional package of chipboard goodies (With glitter! ~ Whoa! ~ ) and a little thing of paper - plus some laundry liquid, but that wasn't as exciting as finding the ART supplies!! ~~ Well, maybe getting the laundry WASHED is pretty exciting, 'specially when all your clothes NEED to be washed, but thats another story...

So it's stay-inside-day an' play with the chipboard stuff - Look out the studio window an' watch the snow fall - an' be very, very glad that we have a pretty good woodstove to keep us warm. I'd hate to see an electric bill about now...the last one was high, well, for us - so those with all electic homes are really in a bind now -

Must go - the work table is callin' me!
