Sunday lunch and snow; pics from Florida

It's hard to write a post without talking about snow.  It started coming down again this morning as we were leaving for Fillmore before 8 and has continued all day.  Because both the Fillmore church and the Houserville church have stained glass windows, it's easy to be completely oblivious to what it going on outside until the service is over.

We stayed at Houserville for a light lunch and council meeting, then found out that Anthony and Lori were eating at the Gardens restaurant at the Penn Stater.  They invited us to meet them there.  Wow!  What a spread that was!  Impossible to do it justice.  We had fun together, because it wasn't crowded at all.




When we left with Austin in tow, the snow was really coming down.  Here are some pics from the drive home.



As soon as our naps were over, Austin wanted to go outside.  He loves being outside and doesn't seem to mind the cold.  So I bundled up and we had fun for about 20 minutes, shoveling and walking on top of snow banks.




We're really enjoying the winter Olympics on TV.   I saw on the news that it could possibly get warm enough there this week to cause some problems for some of the events.  How crazy is that?  They should have had them here!!  Plenty of cold weather and snow in the USA this winter!  I do hate to hear that there is a possibility of snow and ice for Atlanta again this week.  Hopefully they can avoid the issues they had a few weeks ago.

Here are a few pics from Florida to warm you up.  No snow there today!  It was warm enough for them to sit poolside and play fetch with Nilla.  I know she loved that.

On Friday evening George and Sophie went to the Daddy-Daughter Dance at her school.  I'm sure they were the most adorable couple there, don't you think?  I can hardly stand how big she is getting.

Today would have been my dad's 91st birthday.  Someday I'll do a daddy-daughter dance with him in heaven.  I never, ever tire of this picture of him from 2006.

What a great post! From the fun with Austin (love that picture of him shoveling), to the picture of George and Sophie (Yes, I bet they were the cutest couple) to that sweet picture of your Dad! I've always loved that picture too and I really feel like I knew him. I do know I would have loved him, had I ever met him in person.
It's snowing here again too. :(

It looks like you HAVE had a lot of snow! Right now it doesn't look like you will be getting the big snow that will be hitting Lancaster on Thursday. They have really been having their problem recently.

I have to comment on Dick's hat. I like it! Alan wears one like that. I love that hat! When we go to Wal-Mart people let us go in the door in front of them or go ahead in the check out lane. Alan said, "Why do you think people treat us like royalty?" I said, "It is your hat!" It makes us look rich......OR we look old so they are watching out for us." Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I love that pic of you two.
Ugh, more snow yesterday and again this week. I, personally, have had enough. Trying to take one day at a time.
What a special night for George and Sophie. A cute couple, for sure!
Have a good week! Maybe in another month we will see daffodils :)

No matter what you post in the course of your blog, I always scroll down the sweet faces of your family, and I smile all the way...every time.

Hope you're all well and warm,
