Winter TMBC

So, then -- the TMBC had all these grandiose plans for our WIT (Winter Iowa Tour). So clever, right?  WE ARE IOWA WOMEN....and we are a hearty bunch.  We were out to PROVE we know how to enjoy ourselves, even in the dead of winter...

Oh....a little winter weather isn't going to stop us from having a good time.  We made plans...We are capable...determined...and excited....we can do this.  We were confident...
  
Right up until the moment Mother Nature called our bluff.

Sleet...cold temps...more snow...

The roads are so bad, the kids are getting out of school two hours early -- and the temperatures DROPPING TO A LEGITIMATE 15 degrees BELOW ZERO.

Okay...enough is enough!!  WE... CRY... U.N.C.L.E....

So, instead of the three TMBC members taking an exciting WIT day trip to Cedar Rapids -- where my young friend Anne had lined up many exciting activities...two of us ended up at our usual HyVee restaurant...

Sandy and I were the LAST TWO TMBC WOMEN STANDING...and on this particular day, we felt lucky to even be getting out of our house!!
I had to go back into my blog archives to find a picture of Sandy...

We had a lovely, ordinary breakfast -- with some very exciting Sew and Tells...and then, we finished our day off by GOING TO THE POOL..!!

Really -- it just doesn't get any better than this, people!!  That is, if you remember that most important rule....the ACTUAL  KEY TO HAPPINESS...…

lowered expectations....

Today, it's supposed to be a legitimate 10 degrees BELOW zero...and, YES, I PLAN TO GO TO THE POOL...

Tomorrow, I'm going to report on HOW MANY THINGS I GOT DONE from my to-do list..!!

  2. So, Angie -- when you say "it's cold here in Western NC"...you're being sarcastic, right??
