Have a home in Maple Grove, Mn. where we live for 4 summer months. TG we live in Fl. during the winter months. Works for us. Miss the snow storms in the winter and the hurricanes in the summer. Have kids in Lakeville, Mn., New Hope, Mn., Zimmerman, Mn. and Lexington, Mn. They are all fine and finally getting some good family time because they're snowed in.

All y'all keep warm there in the midwest.

I lived out in the country by Detroit Lakes when I was very young, and my most vivid memories are of being COLD!
My girlfriend's daughter has a new job in the cities and will be moving from St. Louis soon. She is getting ready for the new cold she will be experiencing.
I don't like being cold. I left Wisconsin because I don't like shoveling winter. I live by myself, and I have to do all that stuff and I don't want to! I like visiting MN and WI in the summer!

Really there is no Mail Man/Women in this decade that "No Matter Rain Snow!! or Sleet will Stop a Mailman" . well guess what :o( he's not coming today. Now that is true torture, but then again I could be snowbound for 2 years and still be able to make a quilt with all the stash I have. Talk about Addicted!!

Sorry about your being snowbound! All that wet stuff came over us here in the PNW before heading your way. Pineapple Express they call it....all the way from my home state.
I guess their drought is over for a little while at least...they did have 10 inches of rain overnight in Hilo on Friday!
I consider myself lucky that we didn't get snow with the 1.48 inches of rain we got..that would have been 10.48 inches of white stuff.
I'm like you...I could make quilts and quilt tops for years with what my stash is like! :-P :thumbup:
Stay warm and don't go out in that stuff. Hope your power stays on!
