Little Snow is Better Than No Snow

Early morning view of the Uinta Mountains. The building in the distance is my work.

Jacob waiting for the bus this morning with his new warm coat. It was a very cool morning....about 10 degrees and windy.

So we got a little bit of snow last night. When I say little I mean maybe 3 inches....far from the blizzard they were predicting. The kids are happy so I guess a little snow is better than no snow. The bad thing is it's been pretty cold and windy so it's hard for the kids to play outside for very long. I shoveled the driveway for the first time this morning. Not too bad......the problem last night was our driveway is on a hill and I couldn't get my truck up the driveway because of the ice so I had to park in the street. Anyways...get ready for the snow and cold because it's probably coming your way. This weekend is suppose to be upper 30's and sunny so the ski resorts will be packed because they got slammed with snow. Gotta go get ready for work....later.

Long Weekend........Not Really.





I had 6 days off of work and it seemed like maybe 3. Jacob broke his elbow on Tuesday.....sat in the hospital all day Tues........slept on a cot Tues. night.....sat all day until his sugery at 1:00 p.m. on Wed......sat until discharged at approx. 5 p.m.......went home and cleaned house a little.....ran to airport to get Diana's parents and our nieces at 6:30 p.m........came home and sat and talked until bed......Thanksgiving we sat and ate and ate and ate and ate and did nothing (the only relaxing day)......Friday went to Antelope Island.........Saturday went to the mountains and Robert Redfords Sundance Resort.......woke up at 4:30 a.m. to take Diana's family back to airport Sunday morning. That's my 6 days off in a nutshell. Not much time for relaxing. Did NOTHING on Sunday. Nothing including the Christmas lights. I wanted to get them up because of our winter storm coming but was to lazy to do it....I'll get them this weekend. Oh yeah...and our washer broke yesterday. Action packed weekend. Now don't get me wrong...I enjoyed having Diana's family here and taking them sightseeing but we were very tired when the weekend came to an end! Back to work today....yeah! :)
