Thankful Thursday

It is already the afternoon and finally the sun is making an appearance.  I am thankful for the warmth inside our home and for the promise of spring. I know many from Kansas  to the East Coast are under winter storm watches; if you are there, I pray for your safety.  Snow started falling lightly last night and it was wet; today we woke up to more snow but hubby said it was dry. I had bible study this morning and had to take my 85 yr old friend, otherwise I would have stayed home.  Besides giving my friend a ride, our leader had been on vacation and she asked me to lead today-so I couldn't very well stay at home-however, if we had blizzard like conditions, you can be sure I would have baled.
I am so thankful for the vehicle we have-a 2000 Explorer that handles the snow perfectly. I am thankful that we have had such a mild winter.  I am thankful that the snow, if it had to hit Az., did so this week instead of in two weeks when we are there soaking up the sunshine and visiting friends.
Bible study was fantastic as always; I love Priscilla Shirer-she is an amazing teacher.  I love the fellowship with the other gals.  I love it that on Thursday mornings, hubby plays senior Racquetball-it keeps him in shape.
If you live in snow country, did you get a huge amount?  It seems there were some blizzards across the plains.  Many schools here were closed for the day; are your schools closed as well?
I hope you are able to stay in and stay warm, but if you venture out that you have angels all around your vehicle.
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter

  4. It's still coming down here. It started in earnest at about 0500 when I took Zim outside. Not sure what our total is going to be; I'm just thankful it's snow and not ice.
    Stay warm!

  6. Hello again! Yes- to follow up on your comment to my post- Betty definitely gets nervous around large dogs, she recently has started barking at them when she is on the leash. However, because she has known Nell the yellow lab since she was a puppy and actually smaller than Betty she is completely un-phased by her size and romps and wrestles with her. I think she would act differently if she didn't know her as a small puppy.

  7. Not much snow came from our storm - YAY! Oh, mom made me say that. Also, we think Hunter is responsible enough to drive the Explorer if he had a driver's license. Just sayin'!

  9. Sounds like a good day. We got slammed by snow. We have 12-15 inches, thunder, lightening (while it was snowing). My hubby is in Texas on business and they shut the airport here in KC. He is sitting out on a deck eating GREAT food in shirt sleeves. It is so cold and windy and deep drifts, but the snow is pretty.

  10. I know we need the snow, but I have been glad we haven't had too much bad weather. I was lucky that I was scheduled to work at home today and didn't have to make the drive into work. Sounds like we will have more snow Sunday. Have a good weekend!

  11. We got over 4 inches of snow with about a tenth of an inch of ice on top. The roads were horrible ... thankfully we didn't have to get out in it, other than DH getting out to shovel enough of the driveway to get our car out tomorrow. Glad you were able to get out and give your friend a ride to your study.

  12. Oh how the midwest is getting hit with the snow!! I have a Yukon Denali and I love it for the snow. It handles like a dream up in Big Bear. I love it! I am an SUV kind of gal!!!
