It is Snowing!

-
That's right - SNOW!! It apparently is not a big deal in Boston, (Which we figured) but is uncommon for October. It is really funny though - Because what do we do in Mississippi when it is snowing? . . . That's right - we call everyone we know and ask - "Do you see the snow?" "Is it snowing at your house?" "Go look outside!" "Do you think it will stick?" "Will we get out of school?"

The reaction here in Boston - Nurse walks in the room - "Oh , is it STILL snowing?" (with a frown). Apparently they like snow for the coziness of the Holidays, but snow this early sets them up for a long winter.

In the meantime, the Mississippians are staring at the window with huge eyes and trying to find a better view! Seriously, the snow flakes are about an inch in diameter! We are talking HUGE! We've never seen snowflakes so big. (Of course it rained yesterday and this morning, so it's not sticking.)

Oh - and Justin is doing fine. :) Just a side note - to the snow! (May update again tonight!)

SNOW!! I bet it is wonderful! I've always wanted to travel to Boston and the New England area. I meant to ask about the leaves....are they just beautiful??
And I bet they did think ya'll were nuts about the snow didn't they?? If they lived where we lived they'd appreciate the "wonder" that we have for snow!! Did you take some pictures for your classroom. Your kids would love to see that!Enjoy the "fall wonderland!"
Love you all,

First falling snow I saw...I was already living up North....North Mississippi that is. My Mom said when she moved from N MS to Greene County they left snow on the ground near Ripley to flowers blooming.It was January, 1940.
We are so thankful that you are doing well enough to enjoy new sites.

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Boston Bound

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
