WINTER SAYS, "EVERY GOOD ACT DESERVES AN ENCORE!"

Wonder if they are contemplating flying further south?

While Grandma, Katie, Kelly and Bill are enjoying a prelude of Summer in the Bahamas, we wondered whether or not to believe the reports about our local weather. It must have changed 10 times between noon yesterday and noon today. The much anticipated snow finally arrive in Douglasville around 11:00 AM. I know those of you that live and/or grew up in it can't imagine the words "much anticipated" and "snow" in the same sentence. Here in the south, it's a nice break for everyone to make a run on the grocery store for bread, milk and comfort food. Everything actually stops for just a minute. Then the next day it's gone and we all go back to business as usual. In this hustle and bustle, a snow day is exactly what the Douglasville McMurdos needed. (Well, would it be too much to wish for it to carry over one more day? - Skipping a Monday would also be on my wish list.)
Unfortunately, Lea is at college in Carrollton and Jonathan is in Cartersville with his Mom, but both of them enjoyed the same benefits of our version of a blizzard; food, movies, friends, playing and a lot of lounging.
It's nice to see the brown and muddy landscape covered by a fluffy blanket of white. I know; I know. Once it melts, there will be even more brown and mud to take it's place, but don't rain on my parade. I'll deal with that reality tomorrow when the sun comes out.
We've enjoyed watching Winter's encore. Now I think we're ready for sweet, sweet summertime to take the stage.
Hope all is well with all of you.
Love to all!
