Snow Days

Dad and I were talking about the "olden snow days". We rembered the time you were out of school right after New Year's Day for a week or was it longer.  I think that was the time we had to go up to Elkins Rd to pick-up the Lauer kids who came out for the day.

Love, Mom

          Did we go on the tractor to pick them up????

           I don't remember that, but I do remember having to wear baggies
           between layers of socks when we went outside. I also remember
           that huge-mongous container you used to make hot chocolate in!!!
             It's not fair that we're in the 20s with no snow...course that's too
            cold for snow (is there such a temp?). Off to look at the white sand :\

             well...i think there was one BIG event in 1971 around snow days,
             right??? birth of   Andrew, putting his bed in front of the fireplace,
             etc. I believe that we'll be celebrating the 40th anniversary of that
             one this year.

             i also remember sledding down the hill when the highway was
             closed when they were widening the bridge.

             i remember baggies for waterproofing, too.
