So what do you do...

So what does a person do when they are snowed in and it's bright and sunny out!!

First you go outside!!! We hardly EVER get snow like this... so it was fun for.. mmm... 10 minutes!

If you work in the shipping dept you have 'other duties as required'.... he loves those shorts too.. like the UPS team!  We have a path down our LONG driveway to the cul-de-sac.  This is the cul-de-sac that 4 men with snow-blowers worked on all morning.. then everyone one gave up and just barreled a path up the street.. LOL!!!  

I on the other hand did this

I asked my Facebook 'quilt universe' for a dependable bread recipe that didn't use any unusual ingredients cuz I am LIMITED in my current state of snowed-in-ness... Mary sent me to this Light Wheat and it is awesome ! CLICK

TOTALLY Yummy!

And I worked on two quilt projects.. this is one of them for a new book I'm working hard to complete... the other I'll share in a bit!

I got a SO TICKLED by the comments yesterday!!! You guys MADE MY DAY!

But wait there's more!!  I updated my Second Life page with the Quilter's Open House prize list.. woot woot for the winners!! CLICK HERE

Yummo----hot, fresh bread....I live in Minnesota--our twelve inches is coming Christmas Eve........there used to be a recipe for making ice cream with fresh clean snow???????

If you think you will get snow again, you might get the shipping guy a snow shovel. My S-I-L swears by them!
Love the quilt.
We are in the low 70's in Tucson and will have a warm and sunny Christmas. No snow this year but have had white ones over the years! Karen

Shipping dept is not using a snow shovel, more like a coal shovel.... ehh why was it in the garage?

Hi Pat! We ended up with just 10" west of Richmond but what a glorious sight!! Oddly, our little off the beaten path street was promptly sanded, so what high muckedy muck with influence live near me??
I went out for photos and the newspaper, but it's a workout to walk in it.

I also live with a polar bear who wears similar shorts all winter.

Love the quilt!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Holiday hugs!

Pat, I totally agree. It was fun for about 10 minutes. We live in South Jersey and rarely get snow like this. My husband and son are so tired of digging us out! At least we'll have a white Christmas!

Pat ~ I laughed at the pictures of your picnic table. A picture of my picnic table is on my blog too. We mid-Atlantic people are too funny when it comes to snow :)

LOL - I can't believe your "shipping dept" was shoveling snow in shorts!!!!! Crazy man!! LOL Anyways, I'm glad that it stopped snowing for you finally, and hope it starts melting quickly so that you don't have to shovel too much more, or get "Cabin Fever" :) Stay warm :)Oh, BTW - that quilt you're making looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I love it!!
