Some of the roads have been closed and the old kitchen radio is warning everybody to stay home if they don't have to travel. As a result, some of our kids didn't make it up to the ol' homestead for Thanksgiving today. Discretion is the better part of valor. It's better to have 'em safe.
One son and his wife and kids made it up here last night, just as it started coming down hard. We probably have a good two feet on the ground. Got at least 15 or 16 inches last night. Another big storm is supposed to come in tomorrow.
On the bright side, we've got plenty of food, plenty of wood, plenty of beds and blankets, and plenty of gas for the generator just in case we lose power. The livestock are all set, too, with plenty of hay and grain in the barn.
A few of the neighbors were out early this morning with our tractors, ATV's and snow plows clearing everybody's driveways. Finally, about 1:30, we got everyone dug out. Passed the word that if anyone couldn't get to their Thanksgiving destination that to come on over. We'd be eating around three o'clock.
Ms. Judy has got everything so well organized. She's got the whole crew busy playing games, staying warm by the fire, and just plain having a great time.
The whole place smells great. Anyway, just thought I'd take this opportunity to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving. You're a great bunch and I thoroughly enjoy the friendships I've made here on the forum over the years.

It snowed for about 20 minutes 12 years ago*. It was in February. I think I'm good for the rest of my life.
