When Life Hands You Ice--You Make Martinis!

We are eagerly (hahaha) awaiting the arrival of the ice storm that is supposed to wreak havoc, mayhem and destruction in our area. Or possibly sporadic power outages. It's currently very gloomy and dark out with low hanging clouds and a warm breeze. Yes,  I said warm. It's all relative, but it's in the mid-30's which is practically shorts weather here.

We have some projects to do today that we put off knowing we'd be housebound. We have our batch of honey weiss ready to bottle. The bottles have been sanitized and ready to fill. We have to clean and do laundry. I need to sew some buttons on two coats that have come loose. I'd like to get some pictures hung in our office. My husband got the Wii set up so we might have some championship rounds of bowling or ping-pong this afternoon.

That could all go out the window if we lose power.

A year ago we were bottling a batch of beer when our phone rang. It was our realtor telling us our crazy-low offer had been accepted and we bought ourselves a new house!  We closed 45 days later and moved in 2 months after that. We did some remodelling prior to moving in and it took us time to get it all completed.  Two years ago we learned my Mom's cancer was not responding to chemo and she was making the decision to discontinue treatment.

Life is like those fast-forward scenes in movies where a book is opened and the pages flip by so fast you can't read any details.
