Go figure is about all I can say ....
Our winter weather usually is so l-o-n-g, cooold (brrr), and snowy. It can start in October sometimes and end somewhere in April sometimes. Those winter months can start later and end earlier though. It gets so that you just can't face ANOTHER day of scraping and brushing and lugging on boots, scarves, gloves...yuck! This year however has been very different. We haven't had much snow and we've had some lovely springlike days as well.
My mom lives an hour north of me and up until last winter has shovelled her own driveway. She just turned 80 in October for goodness sake. We can't help her with it because if its snowing there we can't get there. No one in her subdivision can help but periodically. This year she contracted a snow company from November to March to do her driveway. Well, they have only had to come 3 times so far never mind that last year she would shove 2-3 times a day. Go figure....
One day in early December when I came home I found a tire sitting beside my little Christmas. I didn't know what that was about. A message from Geoff told me there were 3 more on the balcony and Merry Christmas!! He had found the tires online. They were one season old and like new and he got them for a good deal he said. That was such a generous gift and he refused to discuss my paying for some of them.
.
When we FINALLY had some snow I was so happy to try them out and they made a world of difference. I felt safe! But now we have barely had any snow but we have had rain. Go figure....
If I had known it would only take my mother to pay for a contractor to shovel her driveway, and for me to finally get snow tires for the weather to change....we wouldn't have waited this long. Go figure....
I hope all goes according to your plan today... Judi xoxo

Ain't that the way it goes??!!
LOL...it does seen that is the way it goes so many times!!! I am happy with the changes you got to make this year...and will greatly ease your winter strain so much! Why don't you just move to Florida??? :)
It seems like that is ALWAYS the way it happens....lol. You aren't getting all the cold and snow because I think you sent it to Oklahoma this year!!!!!!!♥
I have an idea..
MOVE TO MINNESOTA...

Happy weekend!
Warmly,

Hi Judi!! Never fails, does it? :)
I'm glad you're not snowed in!!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I can tell you where your snow is Judi--it's down here in NC this winter. We haven't had a such a snowy winter in years. The kids are going to be making up missed school days for a long time.
I am ready for the spring thaw!
What a lovely gift and such a thoughtful one. :)
The weather has been weird this winter. We've been hammered in the South, even as far south as Florida where we had days of freezing temps which never happens! I'm interested to know that you have had so little snow.
I'm glad you got the tires, though, and that your mother got help, Judi!
XO,
Sheila :-)
