Snow Day

Our area was hit by a weird storm yesterday.  We had cold rain for most of the day, sleet in the afternoon, and heavy snow in the evening.  There is about 4 inches of snow on the ground now.  



The news yesterday and this morning is full of stories of people trapped in traffic trying to get home as the weather made the roads more and more impassable. 



We were prepared for a day stuck at home today ... it's not really "stuck", though, because all of my favorite things and favorite people are here with me.



I made vegetable soup for dinner last night.  Snow days always make me hungry for something that stews in a pot on the stove ... and homemade soup always tastes better the next day as leftovers for lunch.



I went to Lowes yesterday afternoon before the snow started falling, and I now have all my supplies to finish tiling the backsplash in the kitchen, so I can hopefully cross this project off my every-growing To Do list.

Thank you for all of your lovely sentiments and well wishes for my daughter and her wedding.  As I told many of you via email, we are VERY EXCITED about this!  (If you didn't receive an email reply, it's because the only email address I have for you is noreply-comment@blogger.com.  Please consider making your email visible ... I'll help you with it, if you want.)
