Happy Birthday to ME!

After church on Sunday, February 22, (MY BIRTHDAY) daddy and Phyllis met up with us at Golden Corral and he treated me to lunch. Daddy sure knows what I like...food.
We hung out for a while and discussed all this crazy snow and ice that has came through this year. I told him about our shed and it's crushed roof. Daddy always has good advice...even when he doesn't know that he's giving it.
I was gonna drop off consignment items for a sale on Monday, February 23, but since the shed is out of commission, I didn't even bother to get any sale items rounded up. Brooke spent the night at her friend Devin's since school was closed, and our Devin stays so quiet that you can't even tell he is home. It was kinda like having the house to ourselves.

School was closed again on Tuesday, February 24 for snow. The road conditions are improving, but it's still rough enough that schools are closed.
On Wednesday, February 25, school opened at 10 am. Brookelynn went to Life Church after school and as we picked her up from church, it began to snow again.
The snow lasted throughout the night and on Thursday, February 26, I got up and took Devin to work because the roads were covered. Some people tell me that Devin needs to get experience on the snowy roads, but he hasn't even driven a full year on dry pavement yet. The snow and ice that we got this year are very unusual. It's not like the powdery dustings that we are accustomed to. There will be plenty of time for him to get driving experience on snow. for now, I'm trying to avoid him sliding into a ditch like this car on the interstate.

Of course, schools were closed again on Thursday, February 26. By evening, the roads were decently clear. We actually drove to Jamestown Thursday night.
Friday, February 27, school was cancelled again. We went to dinner with Mildred, Paradise, and Libby at El Tap. Brooke was going to go bowling with them but changed her mind by the time dinner was over.

Stroker had to work on Saturday, February 28. I had Devin to go to Northfield with me. He is a great helper when he is in the mood. :)By the time Stroker got off work, I had already been back to Northfield and returned home. Gary and Darlene went with me on the second trip. They also rode back up to Jamestown with us. As frozen as everything has been here lately, 
we stopped for ice cream in Jamestown
