Congratulations on your new job! <BR/><BR/>Rain,<BR/>Hugs to your daughter on missing her first academic match today. A whole week out of school really does monkey with their calendar, doesn’t it? Not to mention giving them and you cabin fever. This was my son’s second day out in a row and this afternoon he was a little antsy. <BR/><BR/>Connie,<BR/>Blizzards and no electricity? That sounds really difficult. I like your remedies though for passing the time with games, good books and warm blankets! I hope the power stays on for you with this storm that’s coming through.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>KayKay Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047127118821051479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-80342130012806645292009-01-28T23:37:00.000-05:002009-01-28T23:37:00.000-05:00My kids are having a "Snow/Ice Week" here in Kentu...My kids are having a "Snow/Ice Week" here in Kentucky. Poor guys, this is the second time this year school was closed all week. They're going to end up going to school through June to make up the lost time. And today was supposed to be my daughter's first academic match of the year. <BR/>I had to chuckle at your blog... I, too, love the snow days (when I'm not scheduled to work).

Long ago memories are of the blizzard of 49 and sledding off the roof of our stairwell to our basement home which was completely buried and my father had to tunnel to get us out! Playing games all wrapped in blankets because we had no electricity with our children are more recent memories. Now I pray the electricity stays on because we now have no heat or stove or water without it. But warm blankets and a good book make it fun.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728312794812033536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-90888367249913866782009-01-28T22:26:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:26:00.000-05:00Oh I am excited that I found this spot...

The trees are beautiful with the sunrise glittering through them though. :)<BR/><BR/> I grew up all over the world, but the most snow I remember, and loved, was living in Vermont. In addition to snow angels - which are great! - we used to dig snow caves. Very cool, on all levels. And of course sliding! Thanks for the fun blog, Kay.

MS and we would build snowmen and throw snowballs at each other and slide down hills on cardboard. Since I have a picture of me at a very young age standing against a snow bank that is taller than me I must have experienced snow days elsewhere but I sure don't remember. We were living in Kansas at the time I think. However since I was in the eighth grade we have live in coastal south Texas and snow is nonexistent except for one day every 100 years.EllenToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114930219445131840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-8564469278690104812009-01-28T13:08:00.000-05:002009-01-28T13:08:00.000-05:00I like to drink hot chocolate, have my hubby cook ...I like to drink hot chocolate, have my hubby cook breakfast, read, and watch movies.<BR/><BR/>Mel K.Meljprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923768085680554717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-35278624123944351722009-01-28T11:25:00.000-05:002009-01-28T11:25:00.000-05:00Aw shucks, Kay.

However, when we do see flakes you can catch up outside with our mouths open trying to catch them. hehe. I'm sure its a sight for those driving by, but we love it.

So...Hi Addison and Nancy<BR/>Thanks for dropping in!<BR/>Yes! Some of my most vivid memories of “snow days” are of course with my parents and brothers and sister. I had one very special experience about six years ago where we were home visiting them in Mississippi and it snowed like it hadn’t in probably twenty years. My kids got to play with their cousins and their grandparents in the snow. Seeing my son and daughter sledding with their grandpa. Priceless.<BR/><BR/>Tracy<BR/>Ahh. Snow angels. Those are so fun to make. Finding just the right spot and trying to sit in the snow so you don’t “mess up the angel” after you’ve given her an outline. I discovered my "hidden talent" when I didn’t have much snow to work with! : ) This sounds like a great day to curl up with a good book. The hero of Touched By Love could certainly keep a girl warm and toasty!Kay Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047127118821051479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-55282758810238154692009-01-28T10:57:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:57:00.000-05:00Hi Arkansas CyndiThanks for stopping by.

But wasn’t it cool? We’d make it up kind of like BethRe’s snowballs— Vanilla and sugar. Yum.<BR/><BR/>Hey BethRe<BR/> I never thought of making snowballs with those ingredients. It would have made snowball fights a lot more tasty. I imagaine you would have wanted to get smacked in the face with a “Beth Re special” snowball! : )Kay Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047127118821051479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-78487570534868273972009-01-28T10:31:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:31:00.000-05:00I grew up in NE Oklahoma where were have some stee...I grew up in NE Oklahoma where were have some steep hills - one right outside my house. My fondest memories of snow days then involve all the neighbor kids grabbing sleds and challenging each other to make it down the cul-de-sac without wiping out.<BR/><BR/>As a parent and teacher, I loved snow (and ice) days just as much. That fun of telling your child it's a snow day and seeing the joy. Watching my kiddos and the dogs romp outside. Grinning as the cats took mincing steps in the snow. And, yes, knowing I did NOT have to drive in the mess. Good times!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memories, Kay, and treasure your joys!<BR/><BR/>Light,<BR/>Nancy HaddockNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019662451227188065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64350408750596636.post-9721135280916187792009-01-28T10:06:00.000-05:002009-01-28T10:06:00.000-05:00Kay,I remember snow days in Texas quite well.
