For the first time in several years, it's a SNOW DAY!! Hunker down? Not me! Give me a blizzard and I can't wait to get out and about. Perhaps it's my all-wheel drive vehicle or maybe it's the thrill of being one of the few silly enough to brave the elements. Nevertheless, my daughter and I headed over to John's Sandwich Shop this morning to revel in the unexpected holiday and enjoy a hearty breakfast along with many other Tosans. The place was jammed and there was a wait for a table. The counter was good enough for the two of us and it was fun to watch the giant smiles on the kids who could hardly wait to break out those dusty sleds and snow tubes. No doubt the sledding hills will be packed today!
As we drove north on Ludington Avenue, it was strange to see a deserted town, except for the occasional snow blowing citizen trying to stay ahead of the accumulation. On this snowy morning, just the fact that we were daring (i.e. stupid) enough to slowly cruise the Tosa streets merited a friendly wave and a smile from a bundled up fellow pushing a Toro.
Upon returning home, I found the real reason for loving snow storms. There is nothing cuter in the falling snow, than an energetic Golden Retriever bounding through the snow with a tennis ball. Don't you agree?
