Mary, thats wonderful about your son. :-) I went to Hawaii the year I was 21 (many moons ago) and I visited Pearl Harbor and the memorials. Its so nice that he got a coin. :-)
Regarding GA snow: I live in South GA now, but grew up in the Atlanta area. I remember that every January there would be one ice storm and I'd always fall on my keister trying to walk on it!!! Never have tried to drive on it!! My family is still up there and they are all snowed in.
Down here in S. GA - we are freezing, but no snow....even went to Tennessee for Christmas hoping to show our daughter a good snow, and the day we got there it was unseasonably warm, and my husband was in shorts!! We did go far enough up a mountain to show my daughter some snow that had fallen the previous week, but she still hasn't even seen it flurry.

Yes, an icy day and our daughter HAD to go back to GA Southern today, had a meeting at 1:00 and a retreat this weekend and she is president of that committee and could not cancel it. Classes start on Monday so there really was not any time to waste. She did just call and made it to Macon and said...the roads are clear now. Perhaps she's just trying not to worry me. What kind of doctor would put a high risk momma to be...at more risk today?!! That just seems crazy with all the ice and accidents today.
Sailor son called last night --- he made history with the Mighty Mo in Hawaii. The USS Missouri is a very historic battleship and is a museum now in Pearl harbor. It's been in the yards for a few months for repairs and maintenance and our son volunteered to work on it yesterday as they took it from the yards back to it's pier. He manned the rails and other stuff. They had over a 100 sailors re-enlist on it yesterday, the Marine band played, they served hot dogs - sounded like a very neat day overall and he got a special coin for his work, they made a coin up just for the day and it's made from a bolt off of the Mighty Mo - great collector's piece!

Hi everyone! I've been gone a while having had a few business trips and moving my daughter, her husband and her son back home with us over the holidays. We, too, are excited to see the snow. However, for us ex-New Englanders, this is only a dusting so far. Now, the 1993 storm might be called a "snowfall" at 10 inches (my daughter up in college in Boston already has had 3 "snowfalls"). The 1978 snowfall in the Boston area when we lived there was 3-4 feet. Now that was a blizzard!

Yep, snowing here too! Send a photo to our son in Hawaii and the brat sent me a photo of............palm trees! He is in the pineapple state! Ash heads back to college at Ga Southern in the morning ---- weather permitting.
Stay warm and safe ladies!
