Ice Storm of 2011

I hope you all survived the ice storm this week. I am just glad that it was not as bad as it could have been. Carl actually booked us a room at a hotel in preparation for the power going out at the house. Turns out, the power did not go out at home, but I guess, better safe than sorry. We had several people call in on Tuesday and Wednesday at work. I only worked about 4 hours each day because Carl took me to work and picked me up before heading to working himself. I was thankful that I did not have to drive on the icy roads. I am also thankful for God keeping my loved ones safe during the storm.
Here are some pics from this week:



 The view from the hotel room window. I kept watching the ice pile up on the branches of this tree.


 Think layer of ice on the top of Carl's car.


 Ice on all the trees and bushes


 Icy porch steps

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
