Greetings from Sunny Las Vegas

We've lived here 12 years and this is the third snow we've experienced. It was the worst snow in 29 years. 10" in the foothills and 6" on the floor of the valley. It snowed twice in one week. It's hard to believe we moved here, in part, because it's always sunny.


School was even cancelled the next day. It was pretty funny to see kids at school anyway...they were having a ball making snowmen. That was a new experience for most of the younger kids. My husband asked for a scraper to clean the windshield of our van. All we had was a squeegee. We've long ago thrown away all those snow removal devices.


Of course, it didn't last any length of time which was OK by me. But it does get you in the mood to make all those winter hearty meals. I made split pea soup and even baked some poppy seed rolls for my hubby. That's a rare event for me. I used to bake bread every week, but that was over 40 years ago. We're getting older and it's all too much work. Including snow removal. I hope it's another 5 years before we experience snow again. We're back to our beautiful blue skies and sunny weather. I wish I could send it to my family in the middle west and east coast. My oldest sun said the wind chill in Indiana this morning was -30 degrees. Brrr.
