BRIGHT SUNSHINEY DAYS X 3

I TRIED THIS BLOG YESTERDAY, COMPUTER AT HOME DIDN'T LIKE IT FOR SOME REASON, SO I WILL TRY IT TODAY. ANYWAY STORMS SEEM TO BE OVER. WE HAD NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY ALSO, SO IT TURNED INTO ANOTHER DAY OF ENTERTAINING. DENISE & EDDIE WERE SNOWED IN AT SUSAN'S, SO THEY CAME FOR TUNA & NOODLES(lenten season also) AND GAMES ON FRIDAY. AFTER THE THURSDAY STORM WE WERE OUT OF SNACKS AND REFRESHMENTS, SO EDDIE, DENISE & I TRIED A TRIP TO WALMART, WASN'T SO BAD GOING, BUT THE TRIP HOME WAS OK, UNTIL WE HIT HOTH'S POND, FROM THERE INTO FRANKVILLE WAS 1 LANE AND SOMETIMES, NO LANE. THEY SAID THE OTHER END OF TOWN WAS CLOSED NO LANES THERE. DOUG & I DID VENTURE UPTOWN ON FRIDAY, LOTS OF CARD GAMES GOING, MOST EVERY ONE WAS WALKING. THE WIND QUIT FRIDAY NIGHT SOME TIME AND THE SHINE WAS SHINING SATURDAY MORNING AND THE ROADS WERE GETTING CLEANED OFF. SATURDAY NIGHT WE DROVE AROUND AND CHECKED SOME OUT, MOST GRAVELS ARE 1 LANE. I FORGOT THE CAMERA, IF I THINK OF IT I WILL TRY SOME PICTURES OF THE DITCHES.

SATURDAY NIGHT WE ATTENDED THE PIRATE BOYS BASKETBALL GAME. THEY WERE IN THE DISTRICT FINALS, WITH ONE MORE GAME TO MAKE IT TO THE STATE TOURN. NO LUCK, THEY WERE DEFEATED. SO THE WINTER SPORTS ARE OVER HERE. THE MONTH OF MARCH WILL BE QUIET AND THEN ITS TRACK TIME, IF THE SNOW IS GONE BY APRIL 3, FIRST TRACK MEET DATE. A QUIET MARCH IS FINE WITH ME. ALL I WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS CELEBRATING THE BIG HOLIDAY .

WE HAVE A BIG CELEBRATION AT OUR HOUSE TOMORROW, KORI SUE IS TURNING 16. MY MY. SO ON WEDNESDAY, NO SCHOOL DUE TO END OF TRIMESTER, WE HAVE A TRIP PLANNED TO WAUKON TO GET THE LICENSE AND ORDER A CLASS RING. I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS, WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE LITTLE YOU WAIT AND WAIT FOR THAT FIRST SMILE, FIRST TOOTH ETC. AND NOW THIS WILL BE MY LAST LICENSE, LAST CLASS RING TO BUY ETC. I'M EITHER GETTING OLD OR SAD!!!!!!!

WELL I GUESS THAT IS IT FOR NOW, SHOULD HAVE THOSE NEWS PICTURES OF HARLIE KAY THIS WEEK ALSO, SO I WILL DO SOME SCANNING AND POSTING TO THE BLOG.

IT'S HERE AGAIN

ANOTHER SNOW STORM, WE WERE DISMISSED YESTERDAY AT 2:00, AND NO SCHOOL TODAY, SO THAT MAKES 1 1/2 DAYS THIS WEEK. OH BOY SCHOOL IN JUNE. ANYWAY TODAY WAS KIND OF A STRANGE STORM. ICE AND WIND EARLY THIS MORNING, RAIN AFTER THAT, DOUG & I EVEN MADE IT TO WALMART DURING THE RAINY PERIOD, THEN SLEET, THEN RAIN AGAIN, NOW SNOW. I WISHED WE WONT HAVE BRAGGED IN DECEMBER WHEN IT WAS 40 & 50, BECAUSE MARCH IS NOT LOOKING TO GOOD.

KOLLIN WAS NOT WORKING TODAY EITHER, SO AFTER OUR TRIP TO WALMART WE CALLED THE NEIGHBORS AND HAD SOME CARDS HERE, STARTED ABOUT 3:00 THIS AFTERNOON AND EVERYONE JUST LEFT. DOUG WON ALL THE EUCHRE GAMES, THEN WE PLAYED A CARD GAME CALLED 31, IT WAS FUN, WE HAD BOBBY & MITCHELL HERE, THEN THE SNITKER CLAN ARRIVED. SO WE HAD MORE MONEY IN THE POT THEN. SOME WERE WINNERS, SOME WENT HOME LOSERS.

AND WATCHING THE NEWS, DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR SCHOOL TOMORRWO, SO I GUESS THE GAMES WILL CONTINUE.

SISTER BUBBA AND TRACEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET TOGETHER TO ORDER SOME ST. PATTY'S DAY SHIRTS, WE HAVE A TRIP PLANNED TO TRACEY & MY FAVORITE PUB, EDDIE'S IRISH PUB IN PDC, AND THEN ON TO BAGLEY TO LUCK OF THE IRISH FOR ST. PATTY'S DAY, SO WE ALL WANT TO LOOK GOOD. THAT HAS BEEN THE BIG TOPIC THE LAST FEW DAYS. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE NEWS NOT THAT THIS IS MUCH, I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF ITS CARDS TOMORROW, OR SCHOOL.

24 INCHES AND STREET CLOSED

NOT SURE IF YOU CAN GET THE JUST OF THIS BUT THIS IS OUR STREET, AND NOT OPEN YET AT 5:00 pm. THAT BIG DRIFT YOU SEE, FIRST THE COUNTY PICKUP TRIED WITH THE BLADE ON FRONT, AND NO LUCK AND THEN THE BIG DUMP TRUCK CAME WITH THE BLADE AND NO LUCK EITHER IN FACT IT SLID OFF INTO THE DITCH. SO I GUESS WE WILL BE WAITING UNTIL SOMETHING BIGGER CAN GET HERE. THE SNOW WEIGHS A TON, ITS VERY HEAVY WET SNOW. HARD TO PUSH AND SHOVEL. THE OTHER PICTURE IS THE RECHSTEINERS OLD BACK YARD THE SNOW IS PILED HALF WAY UP THOSE PINE TREES. IT HAS BEEN SNOWING ON AND OFF ALL DAY SO ITS PROBABLY MORE LIKE 26 -28 INCHES NOW. BUT WE ALL MADE IT TO COFFEE THIS MORNING, BY FOOT!!!! KENT GOT 2 PICKUPS STUCK TRYING TO GET THERE. BRIAN SNITKER WENT AND GOT THE TRACTOR FOR HIM AND THEY PULLED BOTH OUT AND MADE IT TO COFFEE, GOD FORBID IF YOU WOULD MISS SUNDAY MORNING FRANKVILLE COFFEE.

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, LOTS OF PLACES WITHOUT POWER. THIS WAS JUST A GOOD OLD IOWA BLIZZARD. SOUNDS LIKE A FEW CARD PLAYERS UPTOWN LAST NIGHT, WE STAYED HOME TO WATCH THE WRESTLING FINALS. MFLMARMAC GOT A STATE CHAMP, BUT THAT WAS IT FOR THE AREA. AND THE FRANKVILLE BOYS ARE SNOWED IN AT HOTEL FORT DES MOINES, HAVING A GREAT TIME IT SOUNDS LIKE, THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND HEAD HOME TOMORROW, INT 35 WAS CLOSED AND HWY 20, SO THEY DECIDED TO STAY.

OTHER THEN READING A GOOD BOOK FOR THE LAST 2 DAYS, NOT ALOT HAPPENING. BESIDES EATING. I WILL BE OUT TOMORROW OR LORD KNOWS WHAT I MIGHT WEIGH.

I GUESS THATS IT FOR NOW

THE GREAT IOWA SNOW STORM 2007?!?!?!?

THE TITLE EXPLAINS IT ALL. WE ARE HOME FROM DES MOINES (well some of us are). DONNA, KORI & I VENTURED HOME YESTERDAY, GOT HOME ABOUT 3:00 JUST IN TIME. BUT THE FELLOWS(men that don't listen) (this is where the stupid smiley is suppose to be) STAYED FOR THE NEXT SESSION OF WRESTLING. THEY LEFT DES MOINES AT 4:15 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND GOT TO FRANKVILLE AT 10:00 PM, IT TOOK THEM 35 MINUTES TO GET FROM POSTVILLE TO FRANKVILLE(at a crawl Doug said). NEEDLESS TO SAY OUR BOYS STAYED IN DES MOINES FOR THE WRESTLING FINALS TONIGHT(i'm sure they will have some stories, like remember the storm at the 2007 state wrestling when our folks left at the hotel alone for 3 days)
AND THE WEATHER HAS NOT CHANGED YET TODAY, WE HAVE ABOUT 1/2 IN TO 1 INCH OF ICE ON OUR WINDOWS, THE WEATHER MAN SAYS 13-20 INCHES OF SNOW TONIGHT THRU TOMORROW. AND THE WIND IS BLOWING LIKE A SON OF #@%&*
SO I FILLED THE CROCK POT FULL OF BEEF STEW THIS MORNING AND THE SCHULTZ'S ARE COMING OVER FOR SUPPER AND TO WATCH THE WRESTLING ON TV.
THE SCANNER HAS BEEN INTERESTING THIS AFTERNOON. FIRST CLAYTON CO. SAYS IF A CAR GOES IN THE DITCH ANYWHERE IN CLAYTON CO. IT WILL STAY THERE UNTIL THE SUN SHINES. FAYETTE CO, IS NOW REPORTING ALL KINDS OF POWER LINES DOWN. THEY ARE CLOSING HWY 3, HWY 150. COULD BE AN INTERESTING EVENING.
I GUESS THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO REPORT NOW. I THINK I WILL HEAD FOR THE COUCH WITH MY BLANKET AND BOOK. I WILL TRY AND KEEP YOU UPDATED, UNLESS WE LOSE POWER TOO.

SAD NIGHT FOR THE PIRATES

ALL THE PIRATE WRESTLERS ARE DONE FOR THE SEASON. THEY ALL WRESTLED VERY WELL, JUST CAME OUT ON THE SHORT END OF THE DEAL. ALWAYS NEXT YEAR.

SO FAR EVERYONE IS UP AND MOVING THIS MORNING. IT WAS ABOUT 10:00 WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM WRESTLING, AND SINCE THE SCHULTZ'S HAVE THE SUITE, THAT WAS THE MEETING PLACE FOR COCKTAILS AND FOOD. SINCE IT WAS ASH WEDNESDAY AND WE WERE FASTING, I JUST HAD FLUIDS. ABOUT 3:00 AM, ALL FESTIVITIES ENDED. AND ABOUT 4:00 AM I ROUNDED UP MY ONE AND ONLY FAVORITE SON, BUT HE WAS THE FIRST UP THIS MORNING AT 8:00, LOOKING FOR THOSE JUICE BOXES!!!!!!!!
KIDS WISH I HAD A DOZEN. WE ALL JUST FINISHED BREAKFAST AND ARE GEARING UP FOR ROUND 2. SOUNDS LIKE THE LADIES MAY HAVE A DAY AT THE MALL AND THE BOYS WRESTLING.

IONIA CRAWFORD HAD HEART SURGERY, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY DETAILS, MAYBE WHEN I GET HOME.

I GUESS THATS ALL FOR NOW, REPORTING FROM DES MOINES
