SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW!!!
It started around midnight Monday and continued on through yesterday (Tuesday) leaving behind mounds of that white stuff – a word I don’t even want to think, say or type again!
Doug spent the entire day shoveling and s--- blowing until a buried newspaper got jammed up in the blower…not a happy man at that point…so after an hour of trying to get the paper and plastic out of the blades and chute he finally had to take it in…got it back about 2 hours later and it runs better than before! He finally gave up at 4:30 and then was back out this morning after we got dumped on in the night. But oh is it pretty out there.
I didn’t take pictures because they would look like the rest of the ones I’ve taken over the past couple years…our scenery doesn’t change around us.
Well all that being said about the white stuff….I’m wishing I was here right now and I’m sure there are tons of you out there that are wishing the same thing. Here’s an accumulation of WARM SCENES from the last couple trips we’ve taken
Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica from the cruise we took with our kids 
All of us on deck 
The following pictures are from our last visit to St. Kitts, West Indies to friends of ours place.
Enjoying time at Friars Beach 
View on the drive over the mountain heading for Friar’s Beach
The beach is just beyond the nearest large hill in the distance
Top of mountain from picture above – friends have purchased this mountain and built a home up here but before it was built they would have wiener roast ups here – they called it hot dog ridge….this was taken at one of the get togethers
Walking Cockleshell Beach looking for shells
Visiting the gardens at Carrabelle Batik
These gardens are on the ground of the shop where they make the original Batik hand printed fabrics….and they are absolutely fabulous.
I put some pictures of the Batik at the end
Stopped for refreshments at Rawlins Plantation on one of our island drives
Me, Linda and Billy 
Well that wasn’t much but just posting these pictures took me to a warmer place – hope it did you too!

I loved seeing all your bright, sunshine filled pictures! We went to that same falls on our honeymoon. I lost the bottom of my bathing suit when I sat in the falls to get our picture taken. I caught it with my foot. That water was so cold!
ReplyDeleteKim
AHHHHH......SUMMER!
ReplyDeleteOh that was so cruel!!! hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI COULD almost feel the warm breeze and the toasty hot sun on my face! :-D
I'm so glad that we don't have the snow that you and others have! It's a whopping 23 degrees today! Heatwave!

Karen~ This winter has been crazy with all the snow everyone is having. Your vaction pictures look great. I think I did get a little warmer looking at them...lol! I hope you have a great day! Try to stay warm! ~Dan~
ReplyDeleteKaren, love your vacation photos! I was a nice reminder that we will be warm and sunny one of these days! I can't belive all the snow you folks are having! We always get snow, nothing new for us, but we have not had that much this winter, only about 3 -4 ft. Guess it went your direction for a change! LOL! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteJayne
Karen, thanks for the "warm-up"! Sure have a lot different view out my windows, but at least it's warm and toasty inside and I'm getting lots of sewing done. Feels good to have a "day off" too. Stay safe, Dawn
ReplyDeleteAwh, great pics, Karen... Thanks for sharing, just what I needed to warm me up on this snowy, cold and blustery day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lunch outing ;)

ReplyDeleteThank you Karen for posting these sunny pics! We went to Jamaica on our Honeymoon and stayed there 9days. We went to that same falls and it was really funny!
Laura
Love your pics! On days like today, it doesn't seem possible that warmer weather will ever be here! But we all know that it will ~ eventually!! Hope you had a fun lunch!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
Thank you Karen!!! It was great looking at all that sunshine and smiling faces. Not sure if it helped me or not! ;-) Sure does make me dream of spring even more then I already am!

Lovely pictures Karen! Looks like wonderful trips for you all. How nice when the whole family can get together and travel.
ReplyDeleteI've been home from Mexico for one week. We haven't any snow or ice, but I can not get warm at all!! I have been freezing ever since I got off that airplane! That sunshine will ruin you, I tell you. Lol!
I've always thought Batik was beautiful! How neat to be there to see them do it in person.
SWEET SUMMER TIME!
ReplyDeleteDonna
We've had much more snow than we ever have in this part of the country, and honestly, I too am ready for it to go! I'm ready for Spring! :) Although it is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the brief trip to a warmer place! :) Thanks for sharing your lovely vacation pics! It looks like wonderful family time!
Thank you for your comments on my blog and for the prayers for Luke!
Have a great day, Karen!

Oh I want to go there! Were you on a cruise or what? Wow. That is my kind of place. I am ready for spring and warm weather. Your pictures were great. Selling blog? I will have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteLove the warm pics. We are so ready for sun and warm weather here. We have had more snow this year than we have had in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteCome on warm weather and pretty flowers.
