Friday Ramble

It is very cold outside. According to our outside thermometer it was 10 degrees when I got up this morning. I was very thankful that I did not have to go outside today. We slept in this morning after staying up and watching the game and all the post-game commentaries last night . . . ROLL TIDE !!! Due to weather conditions we had a lot of ice on many of the roads that made them dangerous to travel on, and we got to watch the game with our son. Lee and his wife, Morgan, Skylar, and his little sister, Lauren, and Randy, our neighbor. They were all suppose to be at other places but decided to play it safe and stay close to home, which made us happy in more ways then one . . . they were safe and they were with us. We called Jacqueline during the game and she was safe at home watching the game. I wish she and Maya could have been with us but they were safely at home and that is what matters most. I have spent most of the morning doing a little cleaning and now I plan to get in my favorite spot on the sofa with my soft blanket and read "The Long Winter" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I love these books and enjoy reading them over and over. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
