The first snow November 25, 2008

Well, it has finally happened. We have our first snow. It didn't look too bad this morning and since we have all wheel drive on the Buick, we started out to take care of groceries and some doctor visits. We made it about 2 miles before Tom gave up. Now when he gives up, it is bad!! I'm the one who rolled over a few years back!!

So now we are safely back at home. I could say to our toasty warm home, but we keep the temperature at 60 degrees. I can't really say the house is cozy. Tom puts a portable heater in his office and I turn on the gas logs when I'm in the kitchen. As you can see, the cat stays warm!!

(Later in the day)

The snow turned to rain but not before there was enough out there for the plow truck to come do the driveway. Then we decided to go to Mexico for the groceries and made it there easily enough. On the way home Tom wiped out the road but fortunately he got the car under control before we wiped out the trees on the sides. It got his attention anyway, but God is good and we are once again safe at home.

The manger figures got a real coating of snow, so here are a couple of snow scenes for you southern people.
