The Treadway's

Monica, You remind me of Grandma Treadway with your sense of humor.  I am also, reminded of a time when my girls were still home and we had experienced a blizzard that year.  Well, Shortly after that, we had another "threat" and so as we were watching the "weather man, aka meteorologist" he GUARANTEED that we were due, at least, 18 inches+, or some such number.  Well, of course, people cleared the shelves at Walmart, bought up all the gas their last dime would afford, and PREPARED for yet another dump!  When we all woke up the next morning and expected to "not be able to see out the window", all we saw was a skiff (that means light dusting) of snow.  And that was all we got.  I believe, and I know the girls will correct me if I'm wrong, it was JANET (only because Addy wasn't old or bold enough yet) who called the TV station and told them that she thought the weather man was "an idiot".  She obviously wasn't the only one because that evening on the news, there was a picture of him with a target on his face.  Seems he had received SEVERAL calls for that "GUARANTEE".  Even I, couldn't believe a weather man would have that word in his vocabulary.  Well that is my funny for the day.  Girls, I'm sure I didn't get it all right, but I DO remember, that I couldn't BELIEVE Janet would do that!! Janet, do you remember his name? He was a regular back in the day.  I DO have alot of fond memories of us all being snowed in...it involved board games and ALOT of home cooked food, playing in the snow and power outages.  I don't remember the power outages being such a big deal then.  WE melted snow on the cookstove to bathe and lit candles and such. Cooked on the cook stove... those were some good memories.  So the next time you are stranded at home with no power, remember, it just might be a blessing in disguise!
