2/7/14

Yesterday was an early dismissal because of the start of some wonderful snow! We thought it might be a lame smattering and then quit. But it snowed all day and night, rested this morning and kicked back in around noon today. Yesterday we took a family walk to the store, it was quite cold, but we were dressed warm, only my right eyebrow froze a bit, and we all had some pink cheeks.
Today we tried to go to DMV to get our Ore. D.L's but they were closed. So we came home lazed a bit, and then Ed and Lydia went for sleds and took them to the hill, while I created some order in my room. Finding some paperwork I could have used a couple of weeks ago.
I have been looking for the right pair of dress boots for years, last week Ed found a pair of Fryes for cheap, so he ordered them and I have been so excited for them to show up. It was today! I checked the shipping status and the activity was something I had never seen before, It stated a train derailment in Wisconsin and they don't know when I should expect them yet! Are they freezing over in the snow out there!?
The other disappointment was our couch. After a couple of years with our Big Lot's couch, where Ed has felt like he is being pushed off the edge(me only recently) we ordered a real grown up couch! It is made locally AND the best part is that the cushions are guaranteed! So if they start to smush, they will replace them for free, forever! But because of the snow, this like my boots, did not arrive today, we are now looking at Tuesday.
Tonight we completed the Financial Aid paperwork for Lydia's application to OES next year. All the steps have been taken, now we wait to hear. Should be early March.
I have been trying to get some pix to load but am failing at it. Soon!
