I apologize for the dark and graininess {I'm not sure if that's even a word} of this picture. But I just had to share with you the favorite spot in the house this evening. So many of us are experiencing some frigid temperatures and here in sweet Carolina we haven't managed to get out of the 20's today. We have had a nice mixture of sleet and freezing rain, which, is there really a difference?...They're both ice, right? Schools were in session for about an hour and a half this morning and the work day was cut short by Mr. Jack Frost himself.
Down south, we don't play around when it comes to winter weather. No sir, we get prepared! We cancel school, close businesses, and cancel plans for the next week, just in case. Then we go home and pray for lots and lots of snow. Well, enough to keep us home but not too much to keep us stranded. And our pantries, well, that's the most important part for us Southerners...if the weather man mentions ice or snow, Mama rushes off to the grocery store dragging the whole family along, because heaven forbid we have no milk or bread. What would we do without our milk sandwiches? Really, milk and bread? For what?
