SNOW DAY...

Sydney and I were dancing on the ceiling this morning when the Big Lake School District Closed for the day. It's not just a childhood wish folks, your teachers watch the school closings just as close, if not closer (Bailey was up at 4 a.m. checking the screen; little does she know our superintendents are not up to take care of business at that time). Out the door I went at 6 a.m. to visit the horses and take care of chores. What a winter wonderland, it is beautiful. Our family has dreaded this day a bit as it's been four years since mom was in the deadly car crash that took the life of one, and left her in a coma for two weeks. It just so happens she was scheduled to work last night. Fortunately, she is suffering from an odd case of Vertigo and had to take the week off from work. Blessing in disguise I believe. Last night's weather system was so similar to that of the 29th of 2008. Mom mentioned this a.m. that she would have been too frightened to make the trip today. Things happen for a reason. I think our family was given this day to remember the "life altering" experience and to spend some time together enjoying our good fortune. You never know what tomorrow might bring, cherish those moments you have.

Syd was out the door as early as possible to check out the snow and what it might be best used for. Check out "The Overseer," what Syd created, and a young cow peeking at the commotion from the pasture. Who doesn't love SNOW!
