Severe Weather Alert
TWC Message

945 PM EST FRI NOV 23 2007

THE LATEST SNOWFALL REPORTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CLEVELAND, OH: EDINBORO, 3.0″… MADISON 5 S, 2.0″… MILLCREEK TWP., 1.3″… YNG AIRPORT, 0.9″… CLE AIRPORT, 0.5″… CAMBRIDGE SPGS, 0.5″… ERIE AIRPORT, 0.5″… NORWALK, 0.2″… ERIE, 0.1″. STAY TUNED TO THE WEATHER CHANNEL OR GO TO WEATHER.COM FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS WINTER WEATHER EVENT.

This popped up as “severe weather for ….” on my tool bar from TWC. Does this sound like Severe Weather to ANYBODY? It’s November 23rd in Ohio. A little snow. Not unusual.

Sheesh! I thought we had a blizzard coming or some warning about melting snow and a flood or something.

Fun menu outing AND video camera!

Broke in the digital camera, early Christmas present for us.

Here’s a start:

Going to Erie from Dori H on Vimeo.

And by the way when I said “Open the door” I didn’t mean the car– I can see that would possibly be assumed from my statement

All videos here – and I’m sure this is the site I’ll stick with as they loaded fairly easily (not true at my old photobucket account, not sure why…)

Beautiful Lake Erie

First time I’d taken Ryan up to the lakefront in a few years. He did great! We were only there about 15 minutes — had tons to do at home and also had a headache. But he loved playing on the playground and then we walked on the sand for about 5 minutes.

What a beautiful cooler day today! I don’t think often enough either that we’re very lucky to live 10 minutes from the lakeshore…

Zoo and new car

My blog revision site for some reason is not working, so I’m just reposting this. We went to zoo yesterday – pictures are here — this is Colleen (bottom) and her friends that were in our group. We had a blast – a COLD BLAST! If you click back a few pages in the pictures – you’ll see us in shirt sleeves in the back yard – yes, it was almost 80 degrees Tuesday night. Chris went running to the school yard that night and laid DOWN in the grass and looked at the stars. Had a BALL – took an hour to get him home – bribed with bubble bath 🙂

Spring fever!

criscollrj

70 degree temps today sure got the kids ready to play! I think spring fever has sprung. I didn’t even realize that Easter is less than 2 weeks away, and the bulbs are coming out (of which many I didn’t plant and I will have to wait for next fall). Already bought some new bulbs to plant now for fall blooming. I can’t believe it’s coming so quick – seems we just finished Christmas (and we won’t talk about the Christmas tree that really isn’t still up in the basement fully decorated, a little table top tree in the corner that I haven’t had time to put away – we won’t talk about that —-)

We both have a lot of work which is a blessing! I just got invited to test at some new places for transcription which should leave me a very well rounded list of contractors to work for, especially next year when Ryan starts full-day kindergarten. I plan to work about four days a week then – maybe 4-5 hours a day – maybe. And Rog is being offered more opportunities with Sunlark.

Getting in the mood to do yard work AND spring cleaning. So much to do! We need to get contractors to finish more work on the basement from damage we had from the flood last summer. And washing windows and walls would be nice!

Happy spring, everyone!

Does anyone remember the Blizzard of ’78? That was wild. I remember WEEKS we didn’t have school, and the drifts being FEET high on major, 55-mph roads. Crazy stuff. 100 mph winds even after it stopped snowing.

So I guess this is like summer vacation compared to that — ha ha.

And WHO again was the crazy one who said we didn’t have enough snow this year?
