Greene Family Adventures

Since it this past weekend and with the impending freezing rain, Mom’s grandmother didn’t want to travel outside the house to our house for Christmas dinner. Instead we had dinner at her house with our family as well as my dad, great uncle and mother in-law. Everyone had a good time though and the kids got to open presents the day before Christmas. A received some American Girl doll items and N received some fun toys including a remote controlled truck that has a flat bed and can have Legos snap into it.

I have now posted pictures here.

It snowed last night and all of today. From the looks of it there was maybe at least a foot and a half of snow stuck on the ground, though more then that fell. At least there is more then that on the ground piled up.  I got to use my Toro snow thrower for about the second or third time in six years. That was actually fun and made moving the big piles of snow a breeze.

It was also amazing to see the number of people who buy SUVs or trucks and assume that because you have AWD or 4WD that it means you automatically can drive in the snow. I guess no one told them that you still actually have to learn to drive in the snow. Sort of like the people who bought a car with anti-lock brakes. As the phrase goes, Anti-lock brakes doesn’t mean you can drive on the ice. You still have to learn to drive on ice, it just means you don’t have to pump.

I have uploaded the images and they can be seen here.
