Tuesday Frozen Tundra Tale

As of 6pm on Saturday 1/8/18 Raleigh had over 180 consecutive hours of temperatures below freezing and many days only 20 degrees and some nights in the single digits...VERY x 87 million unusual for us.  WRAL TV has a fountain in front of the tv station.

To keep the water pipes from busting they have to leave the fountain running or drain it completely.

Over the years it has become a very popular place to take winter photos.

This one was taken 1/6/18

We are tickled pink to say our high yesterday was a balmy 46 tropical degrees

Mom decided she wanted to have her photo taken in front of it so they braved the

tropical temperatures of 22 degrees on 1/6/18 to snap this photo.

Mom had 3 sweaters on under her coat

Mom is 5'3 1/2" tall the fountain is coming close to being over 10' tall

This is the tallest we have seen it.

If you Guessed MOM, you are right

She was 10 years old in this picture....

Today January 7th is her birthday....and....in case you're wondering

she will not be 11. That is all I'm sayin'......

but she is very thankful for each year and for good health, family all her friends.

Yesterday Mom and Dad picked up mom's annual
Baskin Robbins I SCREAM cake...yes...on a 24 degree day they pick up an
I SCREAM cake.  I'm about to show you a photo but first let me tell you when they arrived at BR the cake Dad ordered was not the cake they were first shown.
It was an itty bitty cake hardly big enough for
Happy Birthday CEAL, mom's nickname.
They happened to have another one made with chocolate chip I Scream in the freezer so he decorated it lickety split.  I'm purrty sure the order Dad gave them for the cake said ALL red decorations

The cake is most delicious it has chocolate cake and chocolate chip I Scream
inside

We thank you all for visiting and leaving comments that make us think, laugh,

scratch our heads and tickle our tummies.  We look forward to another year!!
