It's a beautiful morning in Augusta! I'm sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, looking out the back window at a virtual winter wonderland. Everything is covered with snow; the trees are actually draped in white. Earlier I took a tape measure and my camera out so that I could measure the snow. At school we are learning about measurements in math so this was a perfect learning experience for me to record with the camera! I have no doubt that all of our lessons on Tuesday will revolve around the snow. I measured in two different places. Isaac said my first measurement was probably off - it read about 5 and 1/2 inches. My second measurement read about 4 inches. So, I say we got at least 4 inches of snow! At any rate, it's beautiful out there this morning! Very still and quiet and peaceful. The sun is supposed to come out and the temperature will be rising so it won't last long. In the meantime, this snow-loving girl is going to enjoy it!!
Ike and I have been going full-steam ahead so being encouraged to "stay-in" until later today is rather nice. We have pretty much completed packing up our things and are in the process of finalizing getting the house ready (touch-up painting, staging, that kind of thing) so the "For Sale" sign can be placed out front.
In two weeks we'll be going to Charleston to attend a missions conference at East Cooper Baptist. ECBC is the church where Ike's sister and brother-in-law (Elaine and Joey) as well as his cousin Mike and Sharon Basha and family attend. We'll get to stay with Elaine and Joey and visit with them as well as attending the conference.
Have fun in the snow!!
