Winter has settled in here in Southwest Michigan. It snows, usually, at least once, more likely 2-3 times a DAY. And for my friends from the south, nothing stops, not mail, nor school, or even church activities..life goes on. The grocery stores are not any busier than any normal day, because it is a normal day. I would love to say that the reason life goes on as normal is because the roads get cleared, well and often. But I can't say that. They are nowhere near clear enough to make this southern girl happy.
I am very proud of myself though. I am becoming more and more skilled at driving in the snow. Yes! You really can drive in it. You don't have to sit home and just watch it come down, as pretty as it may be. You just have to drive really slow. And you must pay very good attention to what every other driver is doing. And whatever you do.....never ever stop as you are going up a hill. Although my front wheel drive van is not the best choice for snow driving it seems to be getting the job done, and I am learning where the limits of it's ability are. Our goal is to have one 4 wheel drive vehicle by next winter.
Oh! And one more thing that goes on as normal , snow or not, is building of houses! We signed a contract and they are digging the foundation/basement on Monday. We should be able to move in sometime the beginning of July.
So you see this blog will not go on forever.
