Today my girls are heading back to school after a week of playing in the snow, a week of not much electricity and a weekend of Birthday fun. But some schools aren't open because of water damage from busted pipes. There are still people without power and without water. However, we were 74 yesterday and the snow has melted. A cool front came through and we started at 30 but we will only be mid 60's today.
What a fun weekend for my youngest grand, as Michelle turned 12. Above is Michelle and Nicole at Obstacle Warrior Kids. They played dodgeball with the younger kids, ran obstacle courses, and climbed walls. What fun to know they are in great shape and to watch them compete with each other.
We are uncovering our plants today but not looking forward to rain this week as we have water standing everywhere from the snow melt. We are also hoping that the shelves are stocked enough that we can find a few things on our grocery list today. Don't forget to share your smile!
good morning George, hope your water is back now. I know it's been rough. We finally got a sunny weekend here and it was nice after all the rain. Have a good Monday.
Gosh George so sorry you got hit. Been seeing pix of the damage and the poor souls freezing without food or water. Yes, we Canuks live with these possibilities and get used to it (sorta). The day I gave birth to my eldest daughter I had to help my hubby dig out the car! I was in Montreal then which would have real doozies of snow storms. I got caught in the great storm in N.Y in '58 when everything was at a standstill - Times Square was deserted not a soul about. Do stay safe and warm. Hugs, Anne
My heart is breaking for people that still don't have electricity even though most people do have power. Now the problem is water! So many friends and people without water to drink, to boil, to SHOWER! And so many with water damages to clean up in their homes and storage units because of pipes busting. So I thought that I would share with you.
We are doing some clean up around here too but nothing serious. We are grateful to be able to wash clothes. Really need to see if the cars still start too. So whatever you are doing, please enjoy and make the most of it.
good morning...hope all is well in your world. sun is shining bright here today, the birds are singing...and not so cold. hopefully that's a sign all of this really bad winter weather is done reaking havok on this country. my thoughts and prayers go out to people in texas who are suffering . i wish you a day of happiness and peace...mk
I'M GLAD THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER FOR YOU. I HAVE BEEN PRAYING A LOT FOR ALL OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend to enjoy. Going to start warming up again to melt the snow and ice that has wreaked havoc for us. Finally got steady power back on but still without water so melting snow for flushing and boiling water. Be nice to get a hot shower again.When I was a kid we took sponge baths all the time because we didn't have a tub or shower. You can always make do. Have a great weekend my friend.....George
Still in the deep freeze here. They are calling for a warm up into the 40's next week. Look forward to that. I hope you enjoy the weekend no matter the weather! Blessings, Nancy
We are one of the lucky ones with electricity back on, haven't lost water, and no broken pipes. However, we are only 26 this mid Friday morning. I still have lots of friends with no water or boil water advisory. Most, not all, have electricity. So many businesses, hotels, and homes with broken pipes. Store shelves are empty and gas stations are too. Trucks have not been able to get here to refill anything.
We were above freezing a degree or two yesterday with the sun which started snow melting. Then got to 15 last night which has made the roads icy. The sun is shining today and by Monday we are hoping the snow will be gone. We have so much to be thankful for today!
So I thought I would share with you some of our fun pictures. Hope you can view the links and I anxiously await your responses.
