Winter Blast--Day Six At Home

Home again! Some 3 to 4 inches of snow fell during the night and we awakened this morning to yet another beautiful white blanket. It is a different snow from the last one--more like powder with less ice and the timber is gorgeous. The scenery looks like something you'd see on a postcard. They tell us that more is on the way. We may be out of school by July 4.
We've had a great weekend. Saturday, Collin and I drove with friends to Mountain Home. They needed to pick up a boat and pull it home. It was good to get out for the day even though this isn't the best time of the year for a scenic drive. We had lunch at Colton's; my selection was soup and salad. Warm soup hit the spot on a damp, cold day.

And then, the Super Bowl game. We came home from church, fixed up chicken strips and fries, and had our own private party. We have become Saints fans by default since we have a direct connection to New Orleans and we sat glued to the TV. I was worse than Collin; he sat with the computer in his lap multi-tasking, but I didn't want to miss a moment. We were so excited! Micah called almost the instant the game ended. She and Rhyne went out into the campus and driving around town to see all the celebration. Now, without a doubt, everyone knows "Who Dat" is.

Go Saints,

Marcia
