Icy Slop & Parties
The promise of lots of snow came to us unfulfilled this morning. While, yes, there was some snow, it was icy. We had gotten a lot of icy, freezing rain, and icy snow overnight. All of that made today be very sloppy and slick out on the roads.
Yesterday, we went to visit my sister’s family. My nephew was having his birthday party. This was the first time I had been to their place since they moved in. It happens to be in a neighborhood that we lived in for a while when we were children. On the way home, we drove past the house I had once lived in and marveled at how small a structure it seems now.
My nephew was excited to tell everyone a clever joke that he had heard recently (at school, I believe):
What is the difference between a chuck roast and pea soup?
Everyone can chuck roast, but no one can pee soup! teehee.
This evening, Ray and I venture out to his work Christmas party while the children spend time at Gramma & Grampa’s house. The weather is supposed to include a lot of freezing rain and more slop. Great. One of the few times we go someplace where we dress up, and the weather will make it icky.
One Response to “Icy Slop & Parties”
We went to the ‘company’ Christmas party Saturday night too…in the freezing rain. I have always said I LIKE winter, but ya know as I get older I’m starting to understand wintering in Florida a little bit better. :)
Love the holiday look on your blog!
