ICEY ROADS

School was closed for yesterday due to the icey roads. Mom thought that she would take a chance and drive Mimi to see Ms. Celia for her piano lessons only because Ms. Celia lives so close to us and the main highways were not too bad at 10:00 in the morning. Mom was a little scared about driving up the hill that leads to Ms. Celia's driveway. She drove slow and steady and things were fine. When we arrived at the house, David (spouse) was just finishing shoveling their long, long driveway which also is on a slight slope. So therefore he had mom park at the end of the driveway and we walked all the way down to the house because it was not safe to drive on as of yet.

Since our next snowfall is not due till late tonight and early tommorrow, mom thought that she would take the opportunity after the lesson was over and go down to the local supermarket and get some groceries. The parking lot was like an ice rink. Thank goodness I was able to get the shopping done. Mimi and mom finally made it home safe and sound. Mimi then went to play with Erin for the rest of the afternoon. No snowfall but there is still snow on the ground and man is it freezing outside!

The picture is of our street and the school field behind our house. You can clearly see the blanket of snow between the trees. I still wish I had a dime for all those who told me how much it rains up here. Although it does rain more than southern California, we do have gorgeous summers and picturesque Christmases.
