I got my wish! It snowed last night, it's still snowing, and everything
looks so beautiful...
Might help really get me into the Holiday spirit, although what snow has to do with Jesus' birthday, I really can't imagine, but there you go...
We have had 4 lovely gloomy cloudy days in a row, and now snow!
A little thing but it makes me happy.
Hope all of you have something that makes YOU happy today...feel free to share if you want!:donut: I have my cofee and donut so I am listening...

2. it makes me happy
Down here in Florida, it's 70 degrees. I put on my flip-flops, cap and sweater and go outside, but only for as long as I can take the cold. I hate the winter months, me and my SO complain for hours about how we wish the summer were back - so we can go back to the quiet Gulf of Mexico and watch the sunset from Captiva. We reminisce about the day we watched the sunrise on the East Coast over the Atlantic then drove across to the West coast to watch the sun go down in the Gulf of Mexico.

5. What a fun road cruise! Glad you enjoy the weather where you are...
I would get really really bored without a very distinct change of seasons, and I love snow!
Hate shoveling it, driving in it, putting salt and sand on it, but I like looking at it and walking in it!
And I am not a skier either...it's just pretty!

I skidded and rear-ended somebody this morning. We're all OK, and damage was minor, but will still involve hassle and expense.

7. Bummer! I was on my way to buy sand tubes for our lightweight truck
and did a complete donut going around a curve at 15 mph, no harm no foul, thank God nobody was coming the other way, I don't like driving in it much!
Glad you are all ok, but sorry to hear about the damage and hassle and all...but better that you are all right.
