Yesterday Birthday Happenings

As my Sister put it : The Queen of Darkness on her red wheels of terror, or plain speak, her new red bike=D
Quality control- he had to check it out (at least that was his excuse).

Blowing out her candles. I brought doughnuts to her school for her classmates and we sang Happy Birthday to her in the cafeteria. She turned the most amazing shade of red. That was fun for me. At home it was a more quiet affair with cookie cake.



Sporting the new helmets. Like the face on the Queen of Drama. She is getting a new name now that she is in middle school. oy-vey-e-scmear!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

There is a storm coming.....UPDATE Round 2

I don't think I believed the weather man when he said we would be getting more snow. It went from a couple of inches to possibly over 12inches. I'll let you know when it's all said and done


We have dug out. We went to the store and stocked up for the game tonight and all is well.





I see why the weatherman was so very excited. It snowed all night and it is still snowing at about an inch an hour




The birds are very thankful I filled the feeder before the storm. Where do the birds go when it storms? I think they hide in the bushes. Anyone know?







The problem is - there is so much of it where does it go? We can only take a chunk of it at a time and then we have to come in and rest. We have 1/3 left. Some of our neighbors aren't even trying to get out in it. I think they are hibernating.






Or so a VERY excited weatherman tells me. I can tell because when I go to the grocery store -the place where the eggs should be is empty and the place where the cheese should be is empty and the place where the meat should be ....you got it empty. I've never seen anything like it.














So eggs- check







cheese- check







meat- check







milk and bread- check







all important toilet paper- check







kids off of school- check







hubby home from work- check







plenty of fabric, thread, batting and whatnot- check














We're good Mr. Weatherman- bring on Monster Storm.







Keep warm.~Dena
