Good Morning all...............<br /><br />Sorry I haven&#39;t checked in sooner.........It has been a crazy busy weekend here. Yes we did have a blizzard and it was a doozie.............Where we are out in the boondocks we got 15 inches. It started Friday morning and stopped about 5 in the afternoon on Saturday. Roads were closed and most businesses were closed.<br />Of course I got cabin fever immediately knowing I couldn&#39;t get out. Being we live in a cul-de-sac so we didn&#39;t get plowed until yesterday. On Friday night we lost power for a few hours but our fireplace is gas and with lots of candles we were fine. Today is bright and sunny so hopefully some of the snow will melt.<br /><br />My son is on his way back from Bradenton from the first NMRA race of the season and the two cars that he is crew chief for took first place so this is a very exciting start to the season. We were disappointed that we couldn&#39;t make it this year. We are doggie sitting for his dog.<br /><br />Wow I have so much catching up to do being gone for a few days...........<br /><br />Karla............welcome to the crazies board. Hope to see you posting often.<br /><br />Jenn..............Glad Mom is doing okay and jealous and can&#39;t wait to get in the garden. I have bought lots of new things for the garden and can&#39;t wait to get busy.<br /><br />Jackie...........I also didn&#39;t realize you had six daughters. What a blessin<br /><br />Rose..............Sounds like you guys are really busy. Before you know it tax season will be over and you can relax for a while. <br /><br />Gail..................nice to hear from you. Sorry about your cruise cancellation but know the feeling also.<br /><br />Joey................Yes we were in a level three emergency which means no cars on the road unless you are an emergency vehicle ie: fireman, police, medical or snow removal.............In the blizzard of 1996 one of Kens friends thought he would try to get to work (non emergency) and got stopped and was told to turn around or he would be arrested. So they do mean it..............<br /><br />Marylou..........I agree about the books. I am an avid reader and so are my girls and grandaughters but not so much the boys so I get them subscriptions to skateboarding and motorcross magazines. I always told my son I don&#39;t care what you read just read...........of course acceptable material. <br /><br />Well I think I will venture out today as the roads seem to be clear.........<br /><br />Everyone have a wonderful day.<br /><br />Ciao for now<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
