6 Snowstorms since Dec. 17th

We are in a blizzard today! We had several additional inches this morning, and it's still snowing.

My dad had surgery yesterday. He's home and doing well. My parents are stranded with each other in the snow! Heaven help us!

Sunday morning worship

We worshipped at home today with 18" of snow and ice on the ground! The mountain is so beautiful and sparkling white!

The mountain top is in the bottom right corner. This picture says

"God is here" to me.

I took several pictures of the view from our front porch!

We have snow lying on the ground, still waiting for more!

This is Falls Mills lake!

The middle of this month brought fun in the form of snowboarding at Winterplace, near Beckley, WV. Scott, Kristy, and Lucas came up for the weekend. They brought Amanda and Skeeter, from south Georgia. It was their first time seeing snow! Can you imagine?! 20 or 21 Years old and never been hit with a snowball! We all had a great weekend.

Skeeter and Amanda "Poppy" Mike & Lucas watch skiers. Rosey cheeks love snow! And Nan brought her sled!

Snow, snow, more snow!

It is cold in these mountains! We had a big snow storm (18") the weekend before Christmas. Last week it snowed everyday. It snowed last night and, the temperature has not been above 20 degrees for over a week! The fire is burning, we have food, and Mike and I are staying in!

The Isaacs

Mike and I took our entourage to hear the Isaacs gospel group last Friday. We enjoyed the concert and our family- Mom, Daddy, Herman, Ruby, Beatie, Les, Aunt Mildred, and her friend from Gary.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Doyle!

My mother's brother turned 87 last week! He is quite amazing- father of 6, plays any instrument by ear, rolls his own cigarettes, and thinks my sister is his "favorite niece"!

Happy Birthday! We love you!

This is the fog wave coming over East River Mountain by our house. It is beautiful everytime we see it.
