Holy Snow!! Most snow in NC EVER!!! (on record at least!)

Well, we've been home for 3.5 days. In the house. Because we've been snowed in! I haven't been snowed in since I was in 3rd grade and lived in Rexburg and we couldn't open the back door because the snow was up to the roof!  Now, "snowed in" means something totally different in NC than it does out West.  There are just not public facilities to handle snow accumulation because it happens so rarely.  I don't mind, I have loved the snow.

Painting in Olympic proportions!!

The Winter Olympics started in Sochi Russia this past Friday. I love the Olympics and love that it pushes athletes to the best of their ability.  In light of that, our most recent event has been painting,  We bought paint then we borrowed a tall ladder.  When I say tall, I mean

Goodbye old friend...

This beautiful 1968 MG MGB was the first of at least a dozen classic Brittish cars that were a fun hobby and a great way to get out and meet people. We have enjoyed having this car and all the other ones too.  These cars have been a great investment through the crappy recession we've been in. We bought this one in 2009, when Kennedy was just a year old. I couldn't believe I let Tim do it, yet I am so grateful now I did.  I have a picture of the day we brought her home and the day we said goodbye. Now she's off to have adventures with someone else.  The cycle continues and we all move on to the next thing.  Our next thing from the sale of this beauty is to get going on making our house a home.

Last Saturday, we were out looking at paint samples, getting ready to make some awesome color changes at the house, when we happened to go into PetCo where the Animal Shelter had some dogs on display.  There was a really cute puppy there, and she had some litter-mates at the Shelter about 40 minutes away. We thought, "Why not take a drive, we haven't been on that road yet." Which is rare, Tim's been on almost every road around here for his job.  We made it over to the shelter, it was a pretty drive.  There was one puppy we were wanting to see, with a little patch of brindle on her left eye.
