Winter storms are awesome!

Okay. My sister and her hubby are winter wimps. =) Of course, I figured they weren't going to travel with a snowstorm in progress. Thank goodness Deb was blessed with common sense (brains, on the other hand... just kidding). I didn't know, however, that they were blessed with a snowstorm, too, until after a quick phone call. About eight inches of new snow fell yesterday. Heather and I are both glad as can be. Of course, we are mildly disappointed that the snowfall wasn't measured in feet, but what can you do? This new snowfall rocks! I hope it keeps snowing like this every week 'til March!

We are expecting at least one and possibly two individuals to stop by to check out some furniture we no longer need. We posted the furniture with a "recycling" group, the Cass-Crow Wing County chapter of FREECYCLE. You can check it out, too, at http://www.freecycle.org. We got a quick response, 17 inquiries the first day. Having been out of the area for work on Wednesday and Thursday, one or two of the respondents sent emails wondering why I didn't get back to them the first day. People do get wound up about freebies, don't they? FREECYCLE has groups all over the United States, hundreds of groups. We will see how it goes, but anything that keeps usable items out of the landfill is a good thing. As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Speaking of trash and treasure, the new Wal-mart Supercenter that is less than a mile from our home opens Monday. Gosh, are we thrilled. If you believe that, can I interest you in buying the Brooklyn Bridge?

It is time to play in the snow now. Whoohoo!
