Ugh! It's snowing again.

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Good evening everyone........ :mrgreen:

We have received lots of snow here, too..... but, I guess I should expect that at this time of year... :(

[chev1958 20]

Well, it finally got above freezing here in Iowa this weekend. I know this is child's play to you Canadians, but a week's worth of below-zero temperatures was enough for me!

[John81 7,399]

Yep, and technically it's not even winter yet! :shock:

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Yeah, I know.....I can hardly wait till it officially arrives..... :clap: :clap: :clap:

[i]I am only kidding[/i]....[i]I do not like the winter weather[/i]..... :( [i]No thank you, although that doesn't change anything...GOD is in control and if it is HIS will, winter will arrive whether I like it or not. [/i] :roll:

I loved winter when I was a child. It meant fun!

Now winter means hazardous roads I have to drive on, high heating bills, sidewalks and driveways I have to scoop, etc.

Oh come on where is your sense of advenyure I want to get married in a blizzard. The best kind of snowball fight is when you are barefoot and coatless!!

By the way I am winning!! Hehe I missed posting so much

[John81 7,399]

I probably couldn't handle the barefoot part anymore but I can still do the coatless!

I used to chop firewood in the coldest of winter wearing a t-shirt.

[God_is_good 0]

Cool!! Not the chopping firewood but the t-shirt part. I love the snow!!!!!!!!!!

[chev1958 20]

I'll probably enjoy snow again when grandkids start coming around. I have all sorts of winter pranks to teach them :cool:

For right now, my motorcycle looks awfully lonely in my garage.

Oh, BTW, I'm in the lead again. :mrgreen:

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Does anyone enjoy snowmobiling or how about skiing?

Jumping through snowdrifts on a snowmobile has often brought out the kid, in my husband...... :mrgreen:

[John81 7,399]

Winter used to be my favorite time of year. I still like it, but I don't get to have as much fun as I once did.

I used to spend much of the winter out tromping through the timber, making igloos and snow forts. We used to break little "icebergs" off in the creek and raft on them. We used to ride our bikes everywhere, plowing throught the snow drifts or jumping our bikes into the snow drifts.

I was always the last one to start wearing a coat when cold weather arrived and the first to stop wearing a coat.

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Sounds like you really had a great time during the winter season...... :mrgreen:

[John81 7,399]

I've always thought it was a shame that puppies have to grow up to be dogs. Now I also believe it's a shame children have to grow up to be adults! :lol:

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

:lol: I understand what you mean and definitely little ones grow up much too quickly.... :shock:

[John81 7,399]

My little ones didn't seem to grow up quickly enough for me---that is until they actually grew up. :(

It's kind of like when you are a child you keep wanting to be older and become an adult. However, after some time being an adult you realize how wonderful it was just to be a child. :)

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

I completely understand..... :D

When my kids were little it seemed like it took forever for them go grow up and now they are 33 and 30 years old and I don't know where the time went.... :shock:

[John81 7,399]

I've still got two at home, a nearly 8 year old son and 12 year old son, but my baby girl is now 20 and off to university. :cry:

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

A parent never stops being a parent, even once they are all grown up and moved out on their own. We may not have the same input in their lives, but we will always be a part of it. More than ever, I realize how our Heavenly Father never stops loving us. Through it all HE is right here beside us!!

[John81 7,399]

Amen!

[Jesuspaiditall4all 20]

Good afternoon.... :mrgreen:

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)

[John81 7,399]

Well, after I finished scooping wet snow from my place and my Dads place this morning, I'm doing okay.

[chev1958 20]

Got my Christmas bonus check today! :sing:

[John81 7,399]

Sure, rub it in!
