I wonder what today will bring? Sounds like a good day for Donna!
AQUARIUS January 20-February 17
You must choose between what you want and the greater good. Usually you put your personal wants on hold, but this time the Stars show that the greater good can wait.
When we went to bed it was snowing and there was a dusting on the ground. Just enough wet to freeze on the windshield and make everyone at least 10 minutes latesince they had to clear off their windshields with ice scrapers, or my case an old credit card that I didn’t care if it snapped in half – and sure enough, it did. (I think there is a message in there, somewhere.)
So this morning, the ground is covered with a very thin coating of white stuff and it is still snowing. I’m sure schools are closed everywhere and Kroger has had a run on its milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper. Funny how we could have gotten along today without all that milk, bread, eggs and toilet paper, but since it is snowing we MUST have those things.
I was NOT one of those Kroger lemmings, thank you very much. I go shopping once a week and know how to plan my menus ahead and have everything on hand for the week, plus a little extra in case of, hmm, maybe snow? or even better the unexpected drop in of guests who I want to have stay for dinner. I have a great pantry and I keep it well stocked because we love to eat well and I like to prepared for anything.
Our first measurable snow is forecast for tonight. It’s been spitting rain and snow off and on all day. By morning we could see as much as one inch on the ground.
We’ve gotten off pretty easy this winter – only a few snow showers and nothing that has lasted even one day. They closed schools for the flu this year instead of for snow days. That’s sad but indicative of the changes to our environment and our culture.
If we do have enough snow to close schools in the county I hope to see our grandson for a few hours and take him to a nearby hill to sled and make snow angels. That will be a first for him and I think we will all have fun playing in the snow.
Just read about a planned entertainment complex for southern Alabama similar to the hugely popular tourist destination in Branson, MO. The planned complex will have hotels, restaurants, performance venues, a midway and an RV park.
This is exciting news for people in the southeast. We haven’t had anything like it and the influx of tourists and their dollars plus the nearby quality performances by big name stars will certainly improve the quality of life for many people throughout alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, as well as other areas within a day’s drive of Dothan.
The country music resort will be called, “Country Crossing,” and groundbreaking is expected later this year.
I used to love Saturdays when the kids were little. It always meant something fun, like a trip to the beach or all those baseball games. When the weekend came, we always had someplace to go and something fun to do. I was a master at coming up with low cost or free events and adventures. Usually all I had to worry about was putting gas in the car and away we would go!
Some of my favorite memories are the days we all spent tubing down the Shenandoah River or body surfing at Chincoteague Beach. And, of course, there were many many days and nights spent at my mother’s home on the river, where the boys went fishing and swimming and boating during the day and dinners at the Dairy Queen in town.
Now my Saturdays are spent running errands and cleaning house, and if I’m not too tired, maybe a couple games of Spades on the internet before bed. But now I have my blog to add to the To-Do list, and I don’t mind making room for that at all! This blogging is pretty easy, once you get the hang of it.
