Winter is Here!

For some reason I couldn't sleep in this morning -- one of a few chances to do so!  I was awake by 6:00 am, thinking about how the weather was coming in. I looked out the window and it was just raining. I checked on Keloland.com and saw the report of 70 mile an hour winds coming with this blizzard, and it made me think about the patio furniture blowing home to Sioux Falls.

I got up at 6:15 to put that stuff in the garage, and it was snowing.  I couldn't go back to sleep, so I talked to John  and Mom on the phone for a while -- an aunt of mine died yesterday, so there's a bunch of family stuff going on -- and then I decided to go for a walk while I could. I went to the Post Office, but the Bank was still closed because for some reason I was up and at it before 9:00 a.m.

So I stopped at the Grocery Store and had a free cup of coffee while I waited for the Bank to open.

From the Bank I walked to the school, where I am now, sitting in my classroom getting organized and blogging.  The lights keep going off, and I'm pretty sure they will go off one of these times and not come back on.
I got a phone call saying there is no Football game tonight, and Miss Schrank doesn't have to take the Middle School Volleyball to their game tomorrow. I hope that by Monday things are back to "normal" and we can do our activites--I have plans to do Yearbook Ad Sales in Belle, Sturgis, and Spearfish Monday, so I hope we don't have to reschedule!

I need to wrap this up and walk back home. I have a heavy load to take with me, but if I bundle it up in a garbage bag it should stay dry.

I hope all the kiddies stay safe this weekend!
