Who Put All The Sugar On The Trees?

Ok so I am a little late on telling ya'll about our snow day, but better late than never, right? I honestly do not watch the news on a consistant basis so the fact that one of my friends called me super excited Sunday morning that it was snowing in Alabama was kind of a shock. But, unfortunately, I do not live in Alabama, I live in Georgia where it was raining, not snowing! Mark and I were very dissapointed. Mark more so than me, but both of us were walking around the apartment grumbling and complaining that of course it was snowing were we did not live anymore (a very pleasant way to start out our Sunday morning don't you think!) Let me stop right here and call Mark out on his 50/50's. If you have been around him long enough, you will find out that Mark is not a "lucky" person when it comes to 50/50. His chances statistically speaking are the same as everyone else, however his "luck" is more like 10/90 realistically. I am not kidding you! I did not believe it at first, but I have had to regretfully agree with him that yes in fact he is wrong 90% of the time when faced with 50/50's. (he will not abmit to being wrong on any other occasion!) So the fact that it was snowing in Alabama and raining in Georgia really got under his skin! Well, not but about an hour later the snow started to come down in large white clumps. It was a beautiful scene watching the snow fall! I called my friend to let her know that it had started to snow and finally be able to genuinely share in her excitement.
God blessed us again for Mark's open lab to be cancelled due to the weather, so Mark did not have to drive to Tech on the icey roads. Instead we took Jade outside to enjoy the unusual weather. It was her first snow and she did not know what it was at first. We treaded though the melting mush to her field so she could run around and play in it. She had a blast!! Juking this way and that way, leaping over hills and bushes and sliding around on the wet ground! We took several pictures and videos which are posted on both mine and Mark's Facebook pages. Go check them out!
One of my mother's favorite childhood stories to tell about me is when we were sitting in a chair together one winter's morning and I looked out the window behind us at the snow that had fallen the night before. A mixture of shock, disbelief, and wonder spread over my face as I asked my mother, "who put all the sugar on the trees?" I gave my mother the story of a lifetime after I exclaimed triumphantly, "I know! Dan did it!"
