A Blizzard Hits the North--

SNOW--SNOW and tons of snow! --Lord love a Duck!-- I have never ever seen a storm like this!-- I feel like it's a "Little House on the Prairie " Storm------ I tried to snow blow in front of the garage but its blowing and filling in with snow --AND---  I HEAR ALL THE ROADS  IN TOWN ARE CLOSED--We have gas in the car--we have Bananas---and milk--so, we will sit it out--inside--

AND--if you don't see a blog to-morrow, it may be because we lost power--Can you please pray that, that doesn't happen?  --and ----LOPEZ HAS NOT PEE-ED-Lord Love A Duck!--I even have the Pee Pads down out in the sunroom---  which he has not used yet--

When we were kids, living in London, Ontario, in big storms -- (not even as bad as this)-we would run around in the deep snow, playing a game we made up, called "BLIZZARD"-----  All you had to do was open your mouth . look up into the snow, in your snow suit, and yell, "B-L-I-ZZ-AR-D---We thought it was great fun! --I often tell my kids about that game, as they are looking at me kinda funny! 

These pictures were taken early this morning--

So it is April Fools Day-- April the 1st--my Grandfather was born on this day in 1875--  He loved this day, and if we were visiting him, in Port Perry, Ontario, he always played "the mouse on the wall" game-- He would say, "Look over there at that mouse crawling up the wall"--and we would scream and run--SO, I played that on Himself this AM-- 

"When I came down here, this morning, there was a mouse eating  that dog food", I said to Himself, and Himself said, "Really?"---  HE BELIEVED ME! -----So if you are a "Wallace"----  you must play the mouse game on April 1st! ---  It's a Scottish tradition.

Below, is a picture of  Grampa Wallace, holding my oldest brother---the one who is evading his grown  sons because they want to put him in a home--Grampa was visiting my Mom and Dad when they lived in Windsor, Ontario-- He always wore a hat like that---It seemed to be the style in his day--Note-----the suit--no bluejeans-

--Grampa Wallace was the youngest of 13 children---which also was the norm , I guess in his day--Imagine raising 13 children?---


 

I suppose in a storm like this--APRIL the 1st---  one thing we can do is play the piano---  and think about lives and times long ago--and--PRAY THE POWER DOES NOT GO OUT__

I must stay positive--stay strong---because I have to----  and--guess what?---- Son #1 just called and told me to stay inside and leave the snow--that he will come here when it's all over and dig us out-- There REALLY IS A GOD IN HEAVEN! 

Lordy Be---  We better get better--and better---  LOLOL----
