Just another day..

Today Allison and I spent the day pretty much doing nothing. Chuck picked up an extra shift today, so he is still at work....he is working at 10am shift instead of his norm of a 7am. Plus they are 12 hour shifts. So anyway, I was able to get up and feed Allison and then she zonked out, so I was able to shower and get ready for church. It is so nice having church at 10:45am. We didn't make it last weekend b/c we woke up late and she was hungry and I hadn't showered....etc. etc, So it was nice to be at church again. I love the members of the congregation. They are so.....AWESOME! They have completely welcomed Me into the "family" And they have also welcomed Allison....and Chuck too, even though he isn't a member. Which I think is just....very....Christian like....I missed that for a year or so of my life recently. So I'm glad that I have gotten back into the habit of going.

So we had our snowfall last week. We ended up getting only 8inches....where it wasn't drifted. If you count the drifts....we may have gotten a foot or so of snow. Chuck woke up on Friday morning and started scooping the snow. First off the back deck...of course to clear a clean path for Lucy....and then he made it to the driveway and the front steps. Our driveway was the only driveway on our blocked that was scooped!!! I guess people don't scoop snow down here b/c they think it will melt right away....well it did melt a lil but it got so cold at night that everything refroze, so the slush turned to ice!! So glad we didn't have a slippery crunchy driveway. Oh and...it was great snow....so fluffy, not heavy at all.....but...our neighbor (a house or two down) had to pull out his snowthrower (snowblower) in order to remove his snow. I'm not sure why you would even have a snowblower down here, b/c it normally melts right away....plus....he looked like a pretty healthy guy...strong enough to take a shovel and scoop. Oh well I guess....he just really didn't want a light workout. HEHE. I love scooping the driveway...especially since it usually only snows 2 or 3 times down here.
Well...it's been a long day. Allison is asleep on a few blankets by the Christmas tree with Lucy laying next to her. The news is on and more news will be on in 30 minutes. The warm heating blanket is calling my name!!!

Chuck and Allison all bundled up to scoop snow.
