We All Love A Snow Day

---

This old gal…

Loved snow days…school canceled…cozy at home with those daughters of mine…out in the country on a gravel road…not going anywhere for a day or two…

The landscape beautiful…untouched…rolling white drifts…glistening…sparkling…such peaceful serenity…until mama me heard…

I want to do a craft…

Failed that first year…not prepared…didn’t realize those little ladies would tire of Barney and Mary Kate and Ashley…had crayons, paints, toys and books…but for some reason…some unexplained reason…snow days…became craft days…

But one of us learned from experience…and from then on, up in the storeroom in a hidden secret box was a collection of snow day crafts…bracelet making…perler beads…paint a rock…sew a quilt…

It didn’t matter…they didn’t care…as long as it was something we could all sit down and do together…and so we did…mother hen me and her three little chicks…

And so it is…twenty years later…the Texas trees filled with ice…school closings already listed for tomorrow…those daughters of mine watching the DC snow fall…there’s a thrill in the air…

Or more like a thrill in the Besties chat…Snow day!..It’s a snow day!..We all love a snow day!!…

And this old gal so far away from those babies of hers has her projects ready…her tip-her-hat-to-the-past projects ready…

Because it’s a snow day…and we ALL…well almost all (and he shall remain nameless)…love a snow day…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
