Its Snowing Again!



Aaaah! Winter in West Virginia! My southern family probably think I'm crazy but I love the snow! Don't like the cold so much - but the snow is so pretty!




Guess who Alicia met yesterday! John Glenn!







Today is Senator Robert Byrd's 91st birthday. Alicia hasn't met him yet...she better hurry up!

First Snow Day


We had our first real snow of the 2008/09 winter yesterday...and the 1st Snow Day at school. I didn't even mind being called at 4:45 am by the Assistant Principal to tell me school had been cancelled for the day! I was so happy - it took a while to fall back to sleep!


Keith won the wager...he said we'd have snow by the end of the month. He was right!
Thanksgiving is next week. I'm looking forward to a week off from school. Time to go shoot bambi! Pap says the deer are safe when I'm in the woods with my rifle - so all you bambi-lovers...don't worry. I'll probably miss - I always do!
Shae killed her first squirrel a couple of weeks ago. (I missed...) Can't say as I am too upset - 'cause if I had killed a squirrel - I would have had to eat it. Those are the rules!
We're having a fund raiser for the church next Monday and Tuesday. Cornbread, beans, chili and potato soup for the hunters. You can have my beans - I'll be on a liquid diet cause it looks like I might be having my gall bladder removed on Tuesday. The hospital called today - I had another test on Monday...still don't know if the gall bladder is a goner or not - still waiting for test results.
