Biggest Brother didn't have cause to fire up the snowblower, but the first round of ice was absolutely beautiful. (She says because they didn't lose power. Yet! Round Two is pelting the house noisily now. Good thing Biggest Brother kept flashlights out from the packers. Also that he has a can opener on his Leatherman. God bless Oldest Children. They are the world's boy scouts.)
Who thought that oldest child would go sledding in Nashville? You just never know what's coming your way. Life's exciting like that. That's the theme of what I keep telling the girls. They're feeling a little unsure of another house, another change. Or maybe it is the prospect of sharing a room.
So this week, when we weren't slipping and sliding (and dripping faucets in both houses) we've been enjoying an unexpected vacation in the toasty indoors. What seems a week of Fat Tuesdays.
All this weather also means our new house remains not quite ready for prime time. Our moving truck couldn't traverse the ice on the new street today. But we're cozy and home in the old place together. With no plane to catch or new job to start, it seems that if ever a move has to be delayed, this should be the one. I am fairly certain, though that I've brought this weather on us all by bragging that a short, in-town move would be easy peasy. Fates Tempted.
Meanwhile, our things are all boxed up and we'll be in the new house next week. Even though it is Lent, this promises to be a long weekend of Boxing Days.
Adventures in moving. S'nowhere fast.
I’m sorry to hear about the delay on your move, but it’s nice to know that you held up just fine. A huge amount of snow does make it difficult for vehicles to pass through, even big ones like moving trucks. Anyway, I hope it didn’t take long before the moving truck was able to cross the icy street, and gather all your stuff to the new house. Cheers!

Wow, I wish I lived somewhere where I could go sledging! It's a shame that your move has been delayed; even moves within the same block of flats can be stressful. Though it looks like your children certainly had a fun time in the meantime. I'm sure that they will settle in to the new place soon enough. Good luck!
