Worked to the Bone!

We all achieved a lot today: I dyed...
Dilly de-decorated the tree...
B folded the dry clothes, then hung up the wet laundry...
Sos checked on all her Facebook contacts- does that count as work? Ah hae me doots......and the Hub entertained Ben and Bertie!
It snowed on and off all day, and since the Hub left his car into the Garage to get a quote for repairs, he ended up cycling the six+ miles home through a snowstorm. Still he made it ok and didn't fall off.
I worked on some items for my Etsy shop which I'll show you tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of the school holidays and we are still having problems driving with all the ice. Mom suggested that B went to stay with them in town until the end of the week so she could walk to school. It sounds so old-fashioned! Until the 1960's, unless they were school boarders, children had to board in town either with family or in boarding houses during the winter just so as they could attend school. Now that we have decent roads and access to all rural areas I don't expect to have to board out my daughters!

I think you did a great job in accomplishing anything with snowfall on the ground. For me I think it would have been an excuse not to do anything. Can't wait to see what new stuff you have on your Etsy site! Keep me posted.

Thank you for adding both myself and my Mother In Law to your prayer requests on your blog. It truly means the world to me.

Love that! Some days I would gladly board mine elsewhere!! Do they ever call school off there when the weather is that bad? They do here all the time it seems but we don't get near that much snow. Glad hubs made it, whoa!!

We have only a few boarding schools here in Finland, in fact I had heard of one before my daughter went to another, specialiced in writing, for her two last years of school. - When there was too much snow (or a sports day), we used to ski to school and back, and some did it as long as there was enough snow, just for the fun of it.
