Good Day Sunshine

Okay so Friday was yet another snow day.  After going into work, we hadn't stayed there long and everyone went home.  My dad drove me home in my car then drove home in it.  Mom cleaned out my car too while they had it.  They would have done outside too but I had to get my dog to the vet to get her annual vaccinations and vet wasn't opened too much longer.  They are awesome like that. 

After that, I went to their place for a little while, then drove home for a while when mom went out shopping.  Later, we went and had Mexican at On the Border and then went mom and dad's place for dessert and a movie. 

We settled in and I began to open my presents.  My mom made lemon pie.  My favorite!  Thanks Mom!  I <3 you!

After presents and pie, we settled down to watch the new movie, Secretariat.  Definitely two thumbs up. 

Thankfully, the sun came out this morning and was out all day today melting the snow away.  Hello sunshine. 

Hooray for a Snow Day

Snow is something that we here in Arkansas don't see a lot of very often. 

It is also very rare that we see this much snow here in Central Arkansas.  

People react in 1 of 2 ways when we hear snow is predicted. 

We either run to the nearest Wal-Mart, Kroger or other grocery store for bread, milk, eggs and any other foods that we may find to be comfort food or that we enjoy or we put off going to the store until the last minute.  I would fit into the first type.  I knew there was a chance of bad weather, either snow or sleet this weekend, so I went to Kroger and purchased some groceries, including the milk and eggs among other groceries and came home. 

Sunday afternoon, as we were at Pizza Hut eating lunch with friends from church,

a few snow flurries began to fall.  Upon finishing lunch, everyone headed home, but some headed to the grocery store to grab a few necessary items as the snow flurries were beginning to stick. 

Here are just a few pictures from our snowy Sunday and Monday.
