Last Night’s Snow Storm

There will be no shortage of a white Christmas this year in southeast Wisconsin. With the already 5″ of powdery white stuff on the ground, we got hit with another whopper of a storm last night.

The wind last night was amazing! When the county sheriff tells you that he’s only driving 25 mph, you know the roads are treacherous.

If that isn’t enough, there’s more to come tomorrow and a couple of days later, too! By the time it’s all said and done (for now), we should be seeing somewhere close to 2 ft. of snow. Cool!

Our Wisconsin Snow

Winter has definitely arrived early in Southeast Wisconsin. While it’s been flurrying on and off for the last couple of weeks, the last two days have given us a taste of what we’ll most likely have for the rest of winter and early next spring.

These pics were taken this morning from my front door. The snowman is on our front lawn and the other pic is looking up the street.

I would have gone outside to take them, but it’s just too darn cold! Click on each one to bring up the larger image.

We are Back Home

I hope you had an absolutely fantastic Thanksgiving.  We had a quiet one.  I had actually been offline for about a week from the time we left Colorado until the day after Thanksgiving.

I guess it must have been a busy week for AT&T as when I called them 3 weeks prior to our leaving Colorado, they were booked for the entire week, except for November 28th.

If feels great to be back in our home, in our neighborhood and back to normal.  Emily is loving being back in her school with all her friends.

A Breakfast Date with my Husband

blueberrysconeOne of the most fun things having Doug home is we have both been able to take Emily to school in the morning and pick her up in the afternoon.

This is something that he had really never been able to do when he was working downtown and having to leave the house at 6:30 a.m.

This morning he said, “After we drop off Emily, let’s go for coffee.”   I thought, “Cool!”

We went to a little local coffee shop in the next town over that I had been to 3 years earlier with his sisters.  It was where I tasted gelato for the very first time.
