SNOW DAY 2020

SNOW DAY: 6 inches!!!

A blizzard hit on Sunday and canceled church and school on Monday!! It was a perfect day to take the granddaughters in the snow!! It was the first significant snow since 2014 in KC!!!!

WINTER Waterfall in February

SLEDDING VIDEO

KC experienced a long and bitterly cold winter in 2014. School was canceled 4 times and church was canceled 3 times! Cancellations were mostly due to negative temperatures and ice. One Sunday without our 3 hour meetings helped Jess, Brad and I indulge in over 6 hours of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES!  WOW--talk about kindred spirits!

Here are a few photos of snow.

I created this video of a very cold sledding day in I-Movie. Carson and Jessie enjoyed a SNOW DAY and it was slightly warm enough to take advantage of the snow.

Snow In MAY???

It snowed 4 inches on May 2-----canceling the day trip for the OTMS Jazz Band to Branson, Missouri band festival!!!

A spring-time look at a tree limb at Mom's house

During the second snow storm of the 2013 KC winter, this limb broke off and almost knocked out power in my parent's home. The day after this incident, my father had to prep for his GI/colonoscopy scope which had been scheduled 6 weeks prior. Imagine this experience for a sickly 74-year-old WITHOUT power!!!

4 SNOW DAYS: KC Metro shuts down

Two epic snow/ice/sleet storms hit the KC metro in less than one week. Businesses, schools, and commerce shut down and hospital personnel slept at nearby hotels or worse, brought blow up mattresses to work and slept in closet! (That is what Dr. Bishop did)

In order to assist my ill father, I spent 3 days at my Mom's house assisting in healthcare needs.

These pictures reflect what COULD of been a HUGE disaster to my parent's house and well being.

This HUGE limb missed my parent's house, cars, and most importantly, the dangling power lines.

Without power, my father's colonoscopy prep COULD of been soooooo very ugly!!!

Winter Storm "Q" cripples KC

School, work, church, businesses closed today due to a wintry mix of rain, sleet, snow and THUNDERSTORMS! What an odd experience to hear thunderous sounds coming from a blanket of pure white snow and sky!

Ironically, we spent the day preparing for a Spring Break cruise to the Caribbean! We took inventory of shoes, hats, sunglasses and swimsuits and used online shopping to make necessary purchases for the warm weather trip of a lifetime!

FIRST Snow day in 2 years

Our school district canceled school today---a half day and mostly a party day anyway!!!!! Jess got outside first thing in the morning.

Admitting that I ENJOYED making a snow angel for the FIRST time in 10 years just may or may not be true!

Another December SNOW storm

Brad got a new snow blower last year and this was the FIRST time he got to use it.

The orange cord you see in this picture needed to be replaced after the FIRST USE of the snow blower.

This PT cruiser is now owned by Brandon Bishop as of June 2013.
