The kids got out of school early and I got the pleasure of seeing snow--I'm a transplanted New York City girl who went to college in Albany.

One day he came home from school really early and I asked him why. He said, "oh it's cause of the snowstorm". I looked out the window and it was BARELY having an occasional snowflake! Yet, a couple of snowflakes would STOP everything - everyone would RUN to the supermarkets, etc., etc. TOO funny.<BR/><BR/>Happy TT-13!<BR/><BR/>Smiles,<BR/><BR/>Holly<BR/>http://theabundanceplace.comHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222779621223806324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-52520118664027029982008-01-17T10:19:00.000-05:002008-01-17T10:19:00.000-05:00Great list of 13.
