WINTER CAN BE OVER NOW!

Woke up this morning to 2.5 inches of snow.  This is in the south!  Yes, southern Alabama had 2.5 inches of snow.  It’s beautiful.  Everything is closed, schools, roads, offices, etc.  We have been told to stay off the roads because they are icy and because some people have gone driving there have been numerous accidents.  Therefore, roads closed.  Jana and I plan to hibernate for the next couple of days.  At least until it warms up and the roads clear.  I didn’t drive in this in Cincinnati, and I am not driving in this here.

Sure glad I filled my birdfeeders yesterday.  I have one in the backyard that is just about empty.  The other one is full.  However, there are a lot of birds out there.  The front ones still look okay.  Lots of birds there also.

Finally got all my boxes of Christmas decorations put in the shed.  Did this with help from Jana and Kevin.  Kevin carried several that were rather heavy.  Didn’t get the outside decorations down and put away until Sunday because of the cold.  Just got that done in time for the snow 😊

I have been working on my genealogy.  I am rather far behind.  I printed quite a lot of information that had been sent to me, and because of our travels and the holidays I didn’t get it into the computer program.  I am making good progress now. 
I have also been doing some redecorating.  I bought new chair pads (which Penny really likes).  In fact, she has claimed one of them as hers. I also bought placemats to match the pads. 




I also bought placemats to match the pads.  This all started because I received some new dishes for Christmas.  Everything is Pioneer Woman. 


I bought a new picture to hang in my living room.  I have been thinking about buying this one for quite some time.  Hobby Lobby had it on sale so I just couldn’t pass it up. 



I also bought a new quilt to hang in the living room. 


I replaced the four small pictures I had in the bathroom with one bigger one.  


.  I also replaced the large bird plaque in the kitchen with two smaller pictures. 


And, I bought new curtains for the dining room. I was not able to get a very good picture of the curtains.  They start out white at the top and then go to navy blue at the bottom.  Really pretty.


If all goes well I plan to have my living room painted in the spring, and new flooring in the dining room. 


I also need to fix the underpinning in the rear section of my mobile home.  I would also like to replace the siding so it all looks the same.  I have many books to read.  Many dot-to-dot books.  Many sewing projects.  So much to do.  So little time LOL

So many pretty things you have! I love your cat picture...reminds me of my Frances who is black. Glad you're back on Ancestry. I've hit a wall in my research even with having international. Herb's side I just don't know enough about and with two last names being used I'm more confused than usual...and I'm pretty confused all the time. Haha!
