No More Snow until July!

What is up with this weather? It is insane. On facebook was a picture of a sign outside a local church, "Whoever is Praying for Snow Please Stop!". Snow is so beautiful coming down, but in an area like NW Arkansas where the world comes to a halt, it just gets old. If only people would learn how to drive in it. Devin took Steven out to get some snow/ice driving practice. I've been toiling around in Steven's jeep and it drives like a dream in this weather. When I was younger I think I was too naive to realize how dangerous the weather can be. One year they let us out of school early and I headed back out to the farm. I didn't know that it was so bad that I should have waited for or met my mom at work for the drive home. I had a little Oldsmobile Starfire Firenza stick shift. I just kept it in low gear and plodded my way through the heavy snow the 6 miles out to the farm. I didn't have a bit of trouble. Several years later this crazy mom and daughter team traveled through a blizzard from Manhattan to Kansas City for Christmas. We were practically the only car on the road. Once again my naivete was in my favor. I kept it slow and we got to our destination on the Plaza and had a great Christmas camped out at the Raphael hitting the after Christmas sales. Remember the great boots you got mom? Do you still have them? I hope not they are 20 years old and they need to retire!
