Following freezing - well that's how it felt to me - temperatures we had a winter storm with freezing rain. I suppose it was more like hail but the small pellets ended up about 6cm deep.
Lauren's dad has a snow plough, which he attaches to the front of his vehicle, so he came round to plough the drive. The odd person was out doing that job by hand - didn't envy them that job.
After a trip to a Library with Lauren and Ivy, which has turned rather a large area into a play area for children - you certainly couldn't quietly sit and read a book there - I headed into the local area for a walk.
It was hard going because a lot of the paths hadn't been cleared and I was literally hiking up, well it seemed like, glaciers at times. I was stopped by a local who gave his views on the local 'council's' lack of concern for the people walking into the shops - all I could do was agree and hike on. I found a nice coffee shop and then got my nails done - well what else can a girl do on a freezing day?!
Ivy is coming on in leaps and bounds. She is walking more although still gets a wobble on a times. I think I now have a finger that is longer than the others from where she hangs on and then we go at speed around the house.

The walk home was interesting because none of the paths had been cleared.
It was pretty icy and knowing that there was a possibility of me falling over and no one there to record the moment I was very cautious. I will admit to using plenty of expletives directed towards the council and their lack of concern for anyone stupid enough not to be in a car!
Trying to get my steps up I wandered around a supermarket and by the end felt quite sick at the types of food on offer - so many different types of the same thing! I will admit that the fruit and veg are far superior to ours at home!

She is incredibly funny and you can see a cheeky side coming out - don't know who she takes after! I will miss them all terribly when I leave tomorrow! I have been trying to take videos but can't always catch Ivy in her funny moments. She makes us all laugh so much and is a joy to be around!
Heading to a one night stop over in Miami, warm weather, where I hope to catch up with Valda - at the moment she is flooded out in St Louis!
