The girls were so excited to hear the dinner-time phone message...no school Friday due to the "winter weather" expected in our area. Just how much snow could we get this far south?
Well, we waited all morning, glancing out the window frequently to see if we could catch a glimpse of snow. But no luck. No snow. Dad called from work...it was snowing big, fluffy snowflakes out his office window. Everyone was just standing in awe watching it fall and calling their families to report this rare event. Should the girls and I jump in the van and chase down snowflakes?!? How silly would that be? After all, we have seen snow plenty of times before, just not HERE. I really wanted to see it snow HERE. Well, I DID! It snowed right in our yard for a whopping 10 minutes, maybe 20. And all the neighbor kids came out to marvel at it. And then they all came over for hot chocolate. After all, isn't that what you do after "playing" in the snow??
