Collector's Choice Restaurant's Deck Today...........
"Storm Watch 2012!"
Okay Really? Enough already! I must have 14 inches of Snow some places in my yard! This is day,,,,,errrr, lemme see,,,Day 6 of Snow here! And we live in Western Washington, NOT Minnesota! (I heard it was actually quite NICE today in Minnesota, thanks to one of my FB friends!)
I only made it out today because I was traveling with my son and his girlfriend in the 4x4. This may be a record if not CLOSE and it's still coming down!
We managed to get out for a BIT today, get a few "Provisions"-fire logs for me,,,,,the power's gone out a couple of times and we had breakfast at Collector's Choice-one of my "Fav's" where I ran into my Joyworks co-worker Kim and her Hubbs, escaping their house-no power. I had to go out on their deck and take a quick pic,,,,(No doggie tracks all over the Snow, like at my house!)
I worked on a few projects while snowed in, and did a LOT more cooking than I generally do,,,,,,Including some stew and some Chicken Pot Pies,,,,,,,,,most for the freezer, but some for right now. I also had fun making this "Faux Cake." I THINK it was better than making a REAL one that I may just have devoured,,,,,,,,,,,

Can't believe the weather you are having. I live in Bonney Lake, WA, but at this moment am sitting in a condo in Kona, Hawaii. won't be going home til Sunday. I guess we'll miss all the excitement. Oh, darn! Any way, hang in there. I saw you at a vintage show in Snohomish and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your projects.
ReplyDeleteWe are just now here in Ohio getting it good only maybe 3 inches but came down fast I would love to be entered in the giveaway would be a late birthday present for me!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Shell-- all that snow!! It is my biggest fear-- I hate snow. If I did not have to go out in it to go to work-- then maybe I would not mind do much! I do think a heavy snowfall is beautiful--- but then I worry about the power going off. I hate that too- hate sitting in the dark- hate to be cold--- do we are back to me hating the snow again!!
ReplyDeleteStay safe-- and warm my friend--

Shell,
ReplyDeleteYou have all Minnesota's snow. We have only a dusting. Tomorrow we go to Baltimore to check out a clinical trial for Jud and then we go to Mesa. How crazy is that! I hardly knew how to pack. It is a good thing I am not going to Snohomish, too!
Love that cake. Want that cake.
Hugs and greedy bus on the cheek,
Suz
