"We must still be in Carolina!"

This is one of my favorite quotes from Irving Berlin's "White Christmas." I grew up watching the movie version with Bing Crosby and Danny Kay, and we still watch it today. Well, it's not Christmas, but it IS WHITE!

A friend at work observed that 49 of the 50 states have snow. Who is the lucky bugger getting a sun tan and surfing?? Hawaii, of course! Let's GO!!!

So, here we sit, watching the white stuff fall and cover everything (the driveway is holding out). I spoke with Troop 365's Scoutmaster and found they will be camping locally to better accommodate the Webelos IIs who will be spending the day with them. I guess the best thing (for us grown ups, anyway) is that Sunday should be clear and warm enough to allow the kids to go to school Monday (which is a snow MAKE-UP day for Wake County traditional calender!).

On another note: I was at the Council office today talking with the Registrar and discovered something I didn't know (not too unusual): Not only does our pack turn 10 this year, October 2, to be exact, but the troop turned 10 last month, January 7! This is definitely a year to celebrate!

Enjoy the snow, your weekend, be safe, and I'll see you Tuesday night.

Oh, and to answer the question, there is NO pack meeting this month, so enjoy your 4th Tuesday at home!

PS - In the time it has taken to write this, clean up the kitchen and put a load of wash in, it has snowed about a half inch!! It's packing nicely, too!!
