Snowy Comparison

When I took this picture, it reminded me of the Stampin' Up! stamp below! We had more hoar frost and then light snow today.

Today I made some Valentine cards, made cookies to take to the funeral home tomorrow for a P.E.O. sister and her family, and started packing! If you're tired of seeing my snowy Iowa pictures, check back next week for some palm trees and beach scenes!



Bill went with his mom today to her tax appointment. He got ours over with yesterday.

Tonight I'm enjoying the first show of the Heroes vs. Villians Survivor season. Anyone else a Survivor fan?

Valentine's Day

I belong to P.E.O., and the organization owns Cottey College for women in Missouri. Our chapter is sponsoring a girl there for the month of February so we're sending her a box of Valentine fun things including a personalized shower robe! I put some Hershey hearts and quarters for laundry in this cello bag and used Stampin' Up! products to make the topper. We're all including a note to tell her a little about ourselves.

Our P.E.O. meeting for today has been rescheduled due to the weather/snow. Yesterday I rescheduled a dental appointment that was to be today. It's sunny, about 20 and the snow is blowing. No school again today. Bill is very bored but has been getting things done like cleaning off his desk and getting organized for the tax appointments tomorrow & Thurs.

Stampin' Up! supplies used: Big Shot Top Note die, Sending Love Specialty (glittery) Designer Paper, Big Shot Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and Full Heart punch.

Another Snow Day

Today was another snow day with tomorrow off too most likely. We're supposed to have more snow tonight and a windy, drifting day tomorrow. This is our road. It's been plowed but you can kind of see that the left side is drifting toward the middle. I heard on the news that today was the 9th snow day for school this year! They're going to decide soon whether kids will start going to school on Saturdays or what. The temp. has been dropping all day and is 1 right now.

Very disappointing Colts Super Bowl loss last night . . . From the media coverage before, during and after the game, it seemed as though the Colts weren't even there. Such a big deal was made about the New Orleans "story". Sad for the #2 best team! Glad to lose to the Saints and Drew Brees, a Purdue grad, in their first Super Bowl win - if we had to lose. Will look forward to the start of the next season in a few months! Have heard predictions that next year it'll be the Colts & Patriots in the Super Bowl!

GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!

Here's a link to a video my mom sent me a few days ago! (song, Colts fans, etc.)

I didn't have "Super Bowl" on our personal calendars so I scheduled a stamp class for this afternoon at 2:00!! Ahhhhhh! But, classes are not well attended in our winter weather and it is snowing pretty hard this morning, so not sure we'll still have it. We had warmer temperatures & some melting yesterday so Bill brought a tractor home to move the snow again.

Just lookin' forward to the game - Manning is one smart quarterback!! Should be good!

Colts Fan's House

This is a friend's home in Indiana, decorated by her husband. Now THIS is what I expected to find in Dallas' hometown (see below)! I hope he enjoys all the Colts' attention while in Miami & Indianapolis before he comes home to his nice, quiet hometown! Here's a link to read the article that was in the the Indianapolis Star newspaper about the above house! (click on the underlined word "link") Dallas and the boys below.

Dallas' Hometown

I'm really missing out on all the pregame Super Bowl hoopla with being out here amongst the Packers & Vikings fans! I hear they've turned the canal in Indianapolis blue and a local bakery is making horseshoe shaped doughnuts.

So today I decided to go to Dallas Clark's hometown, Livermore, which is about 30 min. from here. I thought I'd see pennants in the windows (I have one in ours!), stuff on the town light poles, in the business windows, etc. There was nothing. But they have named a road for him.

I'm glad Dallas is in Miami so he doesn't see the lack of "excitement". The woman working in the post office tells me they love Dallas though! And she told me where his house is. (on Dallas Clark Road) Only his neighbor across the street had a Colts helmet decal in a window! She said all the stuff for him is at the high school (in another town, Bode) so I went there. As you can see, nothing. After I got back and had a hair apptmt. with Diane, she tells me the "stuff" is INSIDE the school. I'll have to go back. :)
