Slushy snow this week...

Last week the outdoor temperature at night was close to zero, making the snow cruchy to walk in. Today, the thermometer is hovering about 32 degrees, so we have slushy snow. There was some rain early this morning, and then snow when I got home from church - coming down so fast that I just barely got the car swept off and quickly into the garage - did I really just sweep the top of the car?

Notice that the gutters are running full of water, especially after the snow plow came through
good thing those snow boots are rubberized :-). Another 4-5 inches forecast for tonight

Then a bit later in the afternoon, the snow quit and here came the Mower Snow Removal Team - my neighbor and three of his sons... I am so grateful they have "adopted" me and my driveway.

When snow crunches...

When snow crunches under your feet, you know it is darn cold, at least zero and below zero. Brrrr...

The radio says it was -4 in Provo last night

And here is a little evidence that the Youth came by last night, singing carols... and it is trash day.

Remembering my parents' birthdays in November

Both of my parents had birthdays in November - my dad on 10 Nov 1907 and my mom on 29 Nov 1914.

Here are some of my favorite blogs about them... I know, I should be past the bringing up old memorials and memories stuff - I think it has to do with catching up with my Christmas cards list persons this year. I have not sent any for two years.

Plus, I have an new external hard drive, that I will collect and back-up every photo and text document onto, a 1TB size - I am already calling it the "MotherShip". I just got tired of wondering where certain files were, and where did I save that photo - in which collection - well, you get the picture?? When I was a military spouse and PCS (permanent change of station) time came, I could just reorganize stuff into a new home. Looking back, I have been in this house for nearly 17 years.
