Spanky's Clubhouse

The white stuff called snow is back again. I was sure we wouldn't make it through the month without some precipitation. As the time nears to my sister's birthday we always get some kind of a storm. I hope this isn't a doozy like back in 1967-does anyone remember that when they forcast only an inch or two and Chicago had 27 inches. Where I lived near Hoopeston we had one of the worst ice storms I ever remember. We were without electricity for 5 days and we couldn't go anywhere. I played Scrabble with my Grandma and we had to play by candlelight. There is still a drip of candle wax on the Scrabble board to this day. This looks like a good night to stay inside and play games or read. There are some good things that come out of a snowy night-it makes us all slow down a bit and take things a little slower. John said it took an hour to get home from Stockton this afternoon as there were some wrecks. Everyone forgets how to drive safely on these snowy roads.
