I decided that I would make reservations at a nice hotel, order room service and wait it out. I was kind of excited about doing this, but when I got off the plane my brother was waiting there--Fun spoiled again by my brother...But it was not what I wanted, but just as you found it all works out! <br /><br />I hope you're doing well, and I wish you and your family good health and all the best for 2011!!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-66598741035553038342011-01-06T21:30:48.635-05:002011-01-06T21:30:48.635-05:00Well --you know me.

So of course I have a romantic notion of snow. Which I know is horribly wrong. I spent a Christmas in Boulder, Co. many years ago when it snowed for days on end. I remember the hush -- not a sound coming from the little neighborhood. I also remember slipping on ice.

I have a hard time as well concealing my displeasure or any degree of discontent - everything just shows on my face! I much prefer the snow to floods though - like in Australia or showers of birds or other natural disasters. At least the white stuff soaks the earth and brings forth spring with all its glory! As pretty as snow looks for pictures, I hate driving in this sloppy stuff and I also hate the real cold!
