Northern Snow Storm

To my fellow bloggers in the north who will experience a great winter storm I hope you all will stay safe and warm. Take care of yourselves and be ready. Keep us up on what’s going on there. 

Remembering September 11, 2001 – Lest we forget the tragedy of our past. That day in September no one saw coming. People in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington DC were going about their daily lives when terror struck them. The greatest way to remember these folks is to go to work each day to make our country great for everyone. God bless those who we remember today.

It’s Cold For Tennessee

It’s really cold for us here in the south. This morning it is 19 degrees and it won’t get past freezing so the forecast says. The windchill makes it feel much colder.

It’s a day to stay in if one can or remember to bundle up as you head outdoors.

We got snow last night but nowhere near what our neighbors to the north got. The northeast got hammered with some amazing snowfall. Only a few times in my life have we gotten snow that rivals what they see in places like Maine, New York and Massachusetts. 

No matter where you are be safe, stay warm. Allow time to get where you need to go.
