What is That White Stuff?

Nice to see you, blog! Just got the power back at 3 pm, on the button. I am fairly sure that is the longest I have been without power.

This is a funny, funny place I live. If any of you reading this got a snowfall where you live like what we got yesterday, you would not even speak of it. But, God bless these South Carolinians! Every school in the area is closed. All public offices are closed. All banks. Even Mc Donald's is closed!! They were warning people to stay off the roads. So, obviously, we went out. I am always a pinch nervous my first winter driving experience of the year, and this was that for me. It was NOTHING. Oh, you guys, you would have cracked up! Went to my new Walmart (someone told me where the good one was hiding) and there weren't ten people there. The roads were dead. It was fabulous.

The only bad part was the loss of power. It got a little cold inside. The kids actually did school by the fireplace! Dan said the chickens were ok without their heat lamps. Beulah has all her pups again. She actually came upstairs to complain that we had taken some of them this morning. Well, fine Miss Beulah, you can deal with them all yourself. She must be a big breastfeeding advocate or something.
