You Can Call Me the Trip Jinx

So if you want to plan a trip, but you don't really want to go or if you want the weather to be really bad if you do go, just invite me. I can guarantee the weather would be awful.

This is the weekend of our annual Deer Land Trip. We've gone every year for about the last 12 years. And this is the only weekend the camp is available. So what happens? We get snow. About five inches of snow. The one time that I don't want it to snow, it does. But we are getting to go, we're just leaving today instead of last night. Our trip will be a little shorter, but in a way, we got the best of two really good things.

The snow has been absolutely gorgeous. We just don't get snow like this here in Georgia often, so it's a special treat. We went out this morning and played withe some of the neighbors' kids. We had an authentic old-fashioned sled and it went fast.

Ross and Cam sledded last night behind the four-wheeler, but I was too brokenhearted about the trip that I didn't even get a picture. They came out this morning and watched the kids sled.

Even Jeff got in on the action. I didn't go because I was afraid I'd end up in the creek.

Bandit loved the snow. She'd stay out there as long as we'd let her. If you'd ball it up, she would eat it. I don't see how she kept from freezing.

Last night I came out of my funk long enough to make snow ice cream. It was a bust. It didn't taste nearly as good as I remember it tasting when my mom and dad used to make it. I used the same ingredients. It just tasted like cold, salty vanilla.

So that's my snow day blog post. We got the snow I'd been asking for, but we got it on the weekend I wanted it to stay away. Figures.

I realized I didn't post a picture of the birthdays I celebrated last weekend. This is Jeff and Ms. Sylvia. This is what a 101 year-old looks like. Not bad, I'd say. What a lovely lady. My sweet hubby isn't too bad either.

Y'all have a good Saturday. If it snowed in your corner of the world, enjoy it. Personally, I'm ready to be laying out by this with an ice cold drink.

Till next time.
