Well, it is cold and rainy, there is ice on a lot of things, but our walkway and drive way are both wet but not ice covered, yet. When I say not yet, there is ice on parts of the driveway and other parts are just wet. That makes it difficult to maneuver, so I am attempting to stay off the drive.
A lot of activities have been canceled for today, most, if not all the schools are canceled for today including Midway schools. That means we don’t need to get out and drive around to get the kids today. Dave took a days’ vacation today, assuming the kids would be out of school. The bible study class was also canceled last night.
It seems as if the roads in our local area are not ice covered, but they are wet and the temp is below freezing. The newspaper delivery people did not have any problems delivering the paper this morning. I am hoping to just stay at home inside the house today.
That is all for today, it is too cold to even attempt to think about something to write, although I did remember something that happened many years ago, and if you will allow me, I will attempt to relate the story to you.
In the olden days I rode a bus to and from school. On this particular day, it had been snowing and we were on our way home from school. The route home meant that I was one of the last to get off the bus. This particular day the bus with about 10 kids still on the bus, was coming down a hill and needed to stop at the cross road to let one of the kids off. Well, you guessed it, the bus slid off in a ditch. No one was hurt but the bus could not get out of the ditch, we were stuck.
There was a house where one of the kids on the bus lived, and we all got off the bus, and the kids mother invited us all into their house. I remember we were all kind of enjoying goofing around while we waited on another bus to come and get us. Not a bad winter memory, just a memory.
I just went outside and the drive still does not seem to be ice covered, although there are spots of ice. I did go out to the shed and the steps going into the shed is ice covered. Yes, I was careful!
We hope you have a safe and warm day today, be careful if you must get out and drive.
Winter weather!

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
