What a Surprise!

Well... ask and ye' shall receive. If it's gonna be this cold - it might as well snow. And it DID! Pure fun and chaos Monday and Tuesday at our home kept boredom from entering through our doors. Over the entire weekend I enjoyed watching all the events celebrating the Inauguration of President Obama and Vice President Biden! The temperatures were so low here. I ended up sitting down in the basement with a space heater, a light coat and my wool hat - my head going back and forth from my computer to the television! Had so much fun watching the concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial - thanks to somebody pinching the butt of HBO! They were convinced to go ahead and show the live airing FOR FREE during Sunday - best choice they could make! Come Monday - we woke up to snow. Grocery shopping was out of the question. Whatchya' gonna do? Ta Da! Digital Scrapbooking! As soon as we have coverage of snow on the ground we got outside and began taking pictures. We could not believe the density in the air that kept us from seeing very far away. Tuesday came and - I came out to the kitchen to make coffee and found it was snowing AGAIN! This has been the first time we've enjoyed full snow without it melting in the same day here. And it's been a real treat! The day was full of fun for me! Come 12noon - chaos erupted like a volcano! I'm working on this layout. The actual swearing in is about to happen for Barack Obama - literally - I mean... seconds away! We've had a break in the snow and the sun is shining. And Dwayne opens the door to holler down at me that I should come upstairs to see a pickup truck fully engulfed in flames halfway up the road we can see from our front porch! Naturally - I sat until our new President was sworn in! How awesome was that!!!!! I finally reached a point where I could begin to feel safe about this man becoming President. And by the time he put his hand on President Lincoln's bible - I was absolutely full of life and excitement about our future! The sun is shining this morning and the roads are clearing enough that we can safely get out of here. So we'll be going grocery shopping today. But I wanted to get this layout posted! I'll be doing another one with the photos we got yesterday while the sun was shining and getting that posted as soon as I can! Remember - click on the photo to see a larger view! Journaling reads: Two days of waking up in the morning to find it was snowing outside! This... our First Snow to enjoy at Our New Home!
