The Treadway's

We woke up to pouring snow this morning!! I couldn't believe it. The weather man said we got 2 inches in our area. It stopped sometime between 10:30 am and noon. Not exactly sure because I fell asleep on the couch while Marleigh was taking her nap lol. It was also interesting to see on the news at noon that we had a 2.5 earthquake this morning around 2:30 am. They said it happened 4 miles down in the earth and was a few miles WNW of Pulaski. That is a town right beside us, 5-10 minutes down the road. We never felt anything though. If my memory serves me correct I'm thinking that Giles County sits on a fault line somewhere. We go through Giles when we go to WV. Speaking of WV, I caught a glimpse of Grandpa in Mark this afternoon. I was cleaning house this morning while it was snowing. I had already vacuumed all the carpeted areas and was working on my rug in the bathroom when the vacuum started making an awful noise. I thought it was eating the power cord but it wasn't. I turned it off, unplugged it and checked to make sure it wasn't going to catch on fire because the odor that was coming from it was a little alarming. I saw a little vapor of smoke but no fire. I took it down stairs and Mark looked at it. The rod thingy that has all the bristles on it had started to melt on one end thus deforming it somewhat. It was a total loss :( We went to get groceries after lunch and also got a new vacuum. When we got home I put Marleigh down for her nap, Mark and I put up the groceries and I started on supper (Mom's chicken pot pie :P ). I heard Mark in the living room opening the box of the new vacuum. About 10-15 minutes later Mark hollered for me to bring him a snack baggie. When I turned the corner to take him the baggie I could not believe what I was looking at in my living room floor!! Mark had completely disassembled the old vacuum cleaner, took all the screws out and had them in a pile by their self and had each part on the vacuum laid out in the floor. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was getting any thing we may need later from it. He ended up only keeping the screws and a furry duster buster attachment. I just grinned, turned around and went back to my chicken lol. Marleigh is finally off of formula and baby food. I put some of the chicken pot pie in the food processor for her and she loved it. Smacked them little lips the whole time :) Her daddy gave her ice cream for dessert and she was loving that as well.
