Let it snow let it snow Let it ... uhh ok .. yeah I'm done

The front of the house... the only time I ventured out today . . . well except to let the dog's in out the back door. :) Boy am I glad to have my car in the garage!

(View from my front door, looking up the street)
Dobby checking out the snow, he picked up the frozen water bowl and flipped it over to get the ice out to eat! Lucy was less excited about the snow and would venture way out into the yard to take care of business and run back to the house and bang on the door to be let back inside.

Well, in Georgia when the weather man say's "snow" the city shuts down... the store's run out of bread, milk, eggs, you know all the basic's! Well unfortinuatley I was already out of bread & milk... So I had to go out in the "pre-snow" madness! ugh. and yes I felt very foolish, because it was a cold but very clear Sunday. Sunday night after I had resigned myself to the bitter dissappointment of having to go to work in the morning. I had let the dog's out for one last time and when I let them in low and behold they were covered with snow!!! I was over joyed and went to bed without turning on the alarm clock!! While I was sleeping I hear slush falling from the sky. When I got up at 8:00 I turned on the news, no business closeures listed :( So I called my boss to confirm my hopes... nope it had not been announced closed yet :( grrrr... since I did not have to be in until 9 I kept checking the news. and finally work e-mail!! YEPPIE!! they "powers that be" came to their senses and closed all state offices !! and tonight my boss texted me saying NO Work tomorrow!!

What?? A white Christmas in Georgia??

I can hardly believe that we got a white Christmas in Georgia, that is unheard of... They said on the new's that Georgia has not had snow on Christmas day in 128 YEARS!! it sure was kinda fun! I guess growing up in Minnesota has made me love a snow at Christmas, I have lived in Ga for 15 yrs now and for the first 7 I would fly "home" to MN and I can remember a time or two when they did not have snow on Christmas and I would be very upset, but it never failed to snow before I flew back to GA!! I would be very excited. Of Course the folks I left in MN were always less excited, since they were stuck with the snow for another several months!! Livine in Ga it's a sure fire bet that the snow will not last long... The pre-snow panic in the south lasts longer than the bad weather! Dobby

liked it he was outside dancing on his hind legs trying to eat the snow as it fell from the sky! it was so cute ! I wish I could have caught it on camera!! Lucy was less enthuastic about it. She is not as furry as him.
Happy holidays Love, Jennie, Dobby & Lucy
