. . . SNOW?!?!


This is Dan Satterfield, one of our local chief meteorologists. He's my favorite, as a matter of fact. I like that he's really passionate about weather, and very animated when we're experiencing severe or extreme conditions! Right now they're calling for 6 to 10 inches of snow in our area. That's near crippling in our little southern town! And though we've not yet seen the first snowflake, schools and a lot of businesses are already closed for tomorrow. Suits me just fine!

And he's poking fun at all us locals with his photo (which he uploaded to--and I downloaded from--his facebook). And you can hardly blame him. I've been in the grocery stores on Friday, Saturday, and today -- three different stores, mind you, and in each one, it was the same story. The bread shelves were EMPTY! LOL!

We're good -- plenty of propane, hot chocolate/coffee, water, toilet paper, bread, popcorn, cheese, chili makings -- all the snowbound essentials!

I have lots to share; I had a wonderful time yesterday and want to share it with you all tomorrow. Baby showers, grandbabies, ladies' breakfast, and all kinds of fun surprises!

For now, I found this on my quilter's yahoo group --

Jinny Beyer is offering this pattern for this most DARLING patchwork football! I have lots of football fans in my life -- this would be such a darling gift to share with them!!! Especially if it was decked out in crimson, gray and white -- with elephants and ROLL TIDE on it. *grin*

You can find the pattern (it's a pdf) by clicking HERE.

Maybe I'll play around with it if we have a snow day tomorrow.
