December Blizzard 2009

Unbelievable.  The young one is ecstatic.  These were taken Saturday, late morning after only about 12 hours of falling snowflakes.

This dove sat outside the window for so long that snow collected on his back!

My neighbor took this pic at 1:30 am last night…that is Santa on our lawn…
Santa before snow burial! by you.

Diva Dad tried to take the 2 oldest Divas to the Kennedy Center to see “August: Osage County” but they only managed to get about 2 miles from home.  So they went to our little old town, walked around what Diva Dad says is a snowbound ghost town, and then they ended up at the Irish pub.  They called me as they sat in front of the fire, drinking hot chocolate, waiting for lunch.  This play was a birthday present for Middle Diva.

The Kennedy Center should have cancelled all shows today.  They did finally cancel the evening performances, but we have been under a published Blizzard warning since this morning and should have cancelled the afternoon performances as well, but OH NOOO!!!  Can’t lose out on that much money!  I am so irritated and disappointed in them.  Jerks.

Quiet day.  Snow is still falling and is supposed to until tomorrow morning.  I will take more pics.

Later this day:  Oldest Diva took a few pics from the walk in our old town.   Here is the view as they walked down the middle of the road.

Everything was closed, but they met an “old couple” (Middle Diva’s designation) who told them the old Irish pub was open again.  So that is where they went, sat in front of the fireplace had hot chocolate ( I am sure the old man had scotch), and they ate appetizers.  Then the cute waiter brought Middle Diva her birthday cookie with ice cream and a candle:

The waiter said he only had  a “3″ candle, but since he was “SOOOOOOOO” cute that worked.  MD got a special kick out of the reindeer that he made her out of syrup:
She had a good day.

No, only a dusting. This is acting like a Nor’Easter for you, so we have little (too far west).

Looks like things did back in Jan 87 when I lived there. I think govt was shut down for a couple days. Best to stay home and warm and get into the holiday spirit. I hope you don’t have to go out!

the reindeer out of syrup is great! Sounds pretty fancy for the local irish pub.

Enjoy the snow days!
