6:32 am

Wow....its really covering and 

coming down, fine, wet and a 

lot of it!!

And as I typed the above,

I realized it was 7:03 am,

one hour of snow pics below

to see how it can cover 

in no time.

Roads are covered.

NEVER.....do I recall

all 95 counties in TN.,

all of TN schools closed 

for one snow. 

Okay....

moving on.

When I was in the mountains

at my brothers cabin I spotted 

an amazing rock from the deck

in the creek.

Told my SIL that I wanted to grab

one for her and one for me,

to paint our house numbers

on. So, I ventured in to the 

creek and got the rocks I spied.

This is the one I picked out for

the cabin house number.

17.5 inches from point to point,

and the other side point to point

is 11 inches.

I did not want to just paint

the number on the rock and 

with Lori being a quilter

I wanted to paint a quilt

pattern on hers.

I took a pic in town of 

a quilt pattern on a building,

and decided to copy that

pattern to Lori's rock.

 

Then I painted the house 

number over the top of 

that.

Gotta pick up some sealer, 

I ran out doing the great

grands chairs for Christmas, 

and apply several coats

to Lori's rock.

Now, to decide what

I want to put on my rock.

I started this post earlier

today and did not finish, it 

is not 1:40 am, and I can't sleep.

At 12:30 I was cleaning the

laundry room.

  I give myself an hour and 

if I have not gone to sleep I 

get up. But as I laid there and 

could not sleep my 

mind kept racing from one

thought to the other.

The other was, for 

a fleeting minute, what 

I think I have decided for 

my rock.

I might not add the house

number across it, 

it might just read, "there's

no place like home"!

You see, if I do that, I can

always pick up another 

great rock on my next trip 

to the mts. The creek is full

and its forever changing. 

I have blogged before that I 

am a big fan of 

The Wizard of Oz.

On the front door of 

my home of 28 years, 

I had that saying, 

"there's no place like home".

That saying came to me 

when I was unlocking my

door after a seven day 

visit in Calif. 

I loved my visit, but

we all know, that there

is not place like home.

When I moved to my childhood

home, I also painted it 

on the front door.

Because I was going home

to live again.

I also did something I 

said I would never do, 

I got a tat with that on 

my leg. 

 

So, being that is a thing

I do, it was also one 

of the first things I did

when moving to my 

forever home last yr. 

Who knows, I could change

my mind, but probably not!

Cooler temps bring the 

girls hanging in the same

room with their mom.

I have to laugh at this 

little gray ball, if I 

am sitting near her, she 

has to reach out and 

touch me. She does it

all the time.

I LOVE IT.

The holidays are done and 

over so my door decor 

has been taken down.

I keep trying to remember

to go to my stash and pull 

out something for the front door.

We are kinda between 

holidays so I will probably

put my J back up. 

Do you always keep something

on your front door?
