27 States under warning of severe snow and ice storms. The most unusual to me is that Destin, Fla. closed their schools for this morning, last night. I have friends in lower Georgia and Alabama, and I am sure they are confused and amazed at the forecast.
Our high is to be 29 and that would be a heat wave to some places across the US. Stay safe and warm, wherever you are.
The Sunday School class meeting was so nice. I worship with some really good cooks! Fried chicken, fried okra, creamed corn, jello salad, green beans, cornbread, and if that wasn't enough, we had pound cake, pecan pie and chocolate pie!! You say - that is a southern meal, and you would be correct!
We did manage to get to Aryn's basketball game, although major work on our freeways caused us to have to take a detour and it took us over an hour to get to the school. Normally, we can get there in 20 minutes. But the trip was worth it. Again, her team was behind much of the game, until the final minute and it seemed they came alive and won it by 1 point again. She scored 19 points, and had 6 steals. We laugh at her steals because she is so little compared to most of the girls on the other teams. Her team is made up of 2 seniors and all the others are freshmen and sophomore girls.
It was a fun night however, as the other team is from a school in the valley and they had a big student section that came, wearing cameo and farmer hats and boots. Some of the kids had a piece of straw in their mouths. They were portraying 'rednecks'. This article was in our newspaper:
Today is my yearly 'eye exam', babysitting when school is out.

That sounds like a tasty southern meal. I've got Cajun chicken and dumplings from the crockpot planned.
ReplyDeleteYour header is so funny.
You be safe! Not sure to what make of your blog header this morning, LOLOL--good luck with your winter weather. Blessings (minus whatever here and still snow!!)
ReplyDeleteThat meal sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteI have my eye exam on Friday...
Guess that means I will actually have to leave the house. : )
Have a great day!
I love your header today - that's about what I feel like, just trying to stay warm. :) Glad you had a good time at the dinner and the ball game.
ReplyDeleteThis is one winter most of us will never forget! Your meal sounded so yummy! Especially the chocolate pie..lol. Congrats to Aryn and her team on another exciting win! I got a good chuckle out of the redneck competition quote that was in the newspaper! Stay warm, Linda!
ReplyDeleteThat header shot is too funny, Linda! Glad you made it to Aryn's game, and that they won! Folks are asking me if we have snow....we are 10 hours from Destin, and four hours from the FL/GA border. I heard that Tampa had snow years, and years ago, but in the 25 years we have been here, I've not seen a flake. If it did snow, it wouldn't stick. It is never freezing long enough to freeze the ground - only tropical plants.
ReplyDeleteThe Sunday School lunch sounds SO good. Nothing like Southern comfort food!!
Love you background, are those two in the header someone you know? Like grandchildren? Must really be cold there. LOL We've been without cable, internet and phones, they just came back on about11:15am. Our Granddaughter's school closed for the day. It is now almost noon and temp it still -3. I have no idea what the windchill factor is, the wind has quieted down. Thanks for your visit this morning. I try to post a few ahead, like now, I have to stop all ready and get the stew for supper started, it all goes in the oven at one time and slowly bakes for about 6 hours.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your internet and phones back.....just stay warm is my motto these days.....it will pass...soon we all hope. No, the top picture isnt anyone I know, just thought I needed one of those outfits to keep warm!
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm. And, I need one of those body sweaters in the header photo! lol
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, your headers never cease to amuse me :) I love it! We are supposed to get snow tomorrow , Thursday, and Friday, but since I live in the mountains that is pretty common for us. Blessings to you, sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would have LOVED to help you all clean some plates at the Sunday School Fellowship. Sounds like the stuff his mom used to cook.
