I've been seeing on the news that the heavy snows are causing people's roofs to fall in! I don't know how much it takes - and if you get bored, put on your coat and go outside and take a picture of your lovely house covered in snow! It's coldish here, but no precip. Man, I really feel for all you folks from the Red River north. Adam's doing some shows in Texas this week and he and the band got out just in the nick of time! They were right in front of the front!

We had a lot of snow yesterday but half has melted away today--love that fact about Colorado's strong sunshine!<br /><br />George Washington is my favorite President and I've read many biographies about him through the years that had many surprising facts about him. One thing for sure is that he was a humble man with good morals and faith. The cherry tree story might be a fable but it could also have been a fond memory he had in his later years --I'd like to believe that! I enjoyed reading the information on the link you sent us to. I always enjoyed "bumping into" GW while I lived in NYC--there were many places he had been that I found myself in, and I could feel his spirit. My favorite was Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan where had bid farewell to his troops after the Revolutionary War. I blogged about that a long time ago. His speech still brings tears to my eyes, as well as the story of the Maryland 400 during the Battle of Brooklyn.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-67855656866068817722015-02-17T14:40:47.038-05:002015-02-17T14:40:47.038-05:00Well, I just wrote a comment and google started as...Well, I just wrote a comment and google started asking for my password and now it's gone...shucks...oh well, I was just saying that your snowy neighborhood was so lovely and I am somewhat jealous of your snowfall...we only got a 2 inch mixture if snow and sleet yesterday...not enough to even cover the ground.

But be happy if weather is the main topic....I woke up Sunday morning to a phone call from the daughter of a dear friend who was calling to tell me that her parents were in a terrible car crash on the Ohio turnpike. Her Mom, my friend Peggy, did not make it and her Dad was in critical condition. It's been all I can think of since. Please pray for them all....Her Dad needs to be life flighted across two states, now, for cranial surgery. I am so sad. I just had lunch with Peggy a few weeks ago and we made lots of plans for the coming months. One never knows. We need to pay attention every day and have a heart of gratitude for our blessings. (Well, I am sure you do, and forgive me for going on like this.)

Well, just remember, you get to laugh at us when it's 100* in the shade, the humidity is thicker than pea soup and the bugs are so bad you wanna stay inside 24/7. Every place has it's down side. That's ours.<br />For the camera, I wonder if you could use a waterproof housing to keep it safe? Might be able to pick one up cheap on E-Bay or somewhere.<br />I'm told that the story of George Washington is a myth not perpetrated by him. I think it came out years after his passing.<br />Stay safe and warm up there my friend. ~:)Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531515666554867421noreply@blogger.com
