Then - overnight a miracle appears - a moderate to huge mountain of snow. In the morning - you wait by the TV or (my 1970's childhood method) leaning toward the radio in the kitchen, waiting for those magic words. Then - YES - you won the lottery- OH BLISS - NO SCHOOL!!!!!! It's time to snuggle down on the couch and stay in your jammies most of the morning. Then you put on 73 layers of clothes and tromp out into the white stuff - flinging yourself down to make snow angels, and slog to the nearest hill, with a thermos of hot chocolate under one arm and your sled under the other. You're freezing and you can't feel your fingers or your nose - but life really doesn't get much better than this!!groovymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351552966581111467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709135205683579877.post-22099223285371857892008-01-22T20:09:00.000-08:002008-01-22T20:09:00.000-08:00What cool pictures!
