Winter Wonderland

IMG_0559Hello everyone,

I had a pleasant surprise as I arrived home this weekend. In Charlotte, North Carolina as I unloaded on Friday evening, the snow began to fall. By Saturday afternoon we had an accumulation of around ten inches in our area. For those of you who know me, I am from the north and the kid in me comes out when it snows. On Saturday my son, Austin and I played on our ATV. We picked up some of his friends and had them over to our house for the weekend. It was Austin’s sixteenth birthday on Sunday. He and his friends found a big hill in our neighborhood that occupied them for the entire day. They had lots of fun sledding down some big hills. Watching them brought back lots of memories of my childhood days up north when we looked forward to a “snow day”.

On Sunday evening, I went out to my truck to clear the snow off the windshield. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading off to Laredo, TX on my regular run. My body is a bit sore from all the fun this weekend. The morning should prove interesting as I get out of bed as my inner kid played harder than my outer body wanted to. However, it was an awesome weekend playing in the snow. The weekly forecast shows that we may get more snow coming our way this Friday. If so, you can count on me having more fun next weekend. Take care…

Henry Albert

    Snow is meant to have fun in! Glad you enjoyed it and being a little stiff just means you had a lot of fun.
    Happy Birthday to Austin 16 is a great age to be.
