Wicked Weekend

At the beginning of the month, Mrs. Dianne, Mom, me, and Mrs. Susan headed to Greenville for a girls weekend and to see Wicked!

We had a wet weekend, but had we gone the weekend before, we would have been in ice. And the weekend after was snow, so I think wet was a good compromise. We enjoyed fun shopping and good food. Friday, we got to go by my cousin Heater's new embroidery shop called the Sassy Letter in Simpsonville. It was really cute and I was excited to see what all she had. Before the show, we had a great recommendation to eat to Soby's in downtown Greenville.

Wicked did not disappoint! Mrs. Dianne and I had seen it on Broadway last year, and we both agreed the talent was just as good.

Thanks for a great weekend, ladies! We will have to do it again soon when we can do more outside shopping!

SNOW 2010

Last Friday, after my nerve racking drive home, this is how the back yard looked. The interstate was so covered that I couldn't see the lanes. My cars traction light came on frequently and I could feel myself sliding. I did a lot of praying while I was driving 25 mph and God got me home safe. There was 4 and 1/2 inches in the patio table, which became our official measuring spot. Within less than 4 hours we were at 7 and 3/4 inches.

This is how it looked Saturday morning!

Lucy was almost up to her belly in the snow.

This is Winny with her snow mustache. She was looking for her ball to rescue it from the snow and looked up with a snow-covered mussel.

I hated to go to work on this once-every-ten-years snow day.

Snowshoe Ski Trip 2010

Time to ski again!!!

This is one of my favorite trips of the year and I look forward to it all year long! I'm so glad we have made this a tradition with Terri, Billy, Will, Sydney, and the rest of the Myrtle Beach crew.

With all the snow this year, we had great skiing conditions. It was fun to compare skiing out west to skiing in WV.

Hunter and I put our lesson we had in Park City to good use. I skied the best I ever had and this picture is taken at the bottom of the black diamonds of the Western Territory. I have now skied every black at Snowshoe!! Next year...double black here I come!

Guess who??

SYDNEY!
This is the hat Billy wears so we can keep up with our group on the slopes as he leads the way.
Here are the guys waiting on us girls to get ready.

Stopping in for some hot chocolate and a snack.

Too cute!

Ready to hit the slopes.

This is the only picture with Will in it! He has become such a good skier that he can go off with his friends. He accomplished the double black this year and Sydney did the blacks at the Western Territory as well.

Thanks Terri and Billy for another GREAT trip!
