Olivia Trying Out Her "New" Sled

Last winter was sort of a bust here in the Abingdon, Virginia area. We had to endure some cold temperatures but the kids were disappointed that we didn't get any significant snowfalls. And for a while it seemed that this winter would be even milder than last year's. In fact, January 2006 tuned out to be one of the warmest ever for our region. But that all changed a few days ago. For the past few days the daytime temperatures have failed to make it up to normal levels, and yesterday the snow finally arrived at our home - not a lot mind you, but enough to make for some great sledding! My beautiful granddaughter Olivia had been waiting for this snowfall for quite some time because she had received a shiny red sled for Christmas...not the Christmas we just celebrated a couple of months ago - Christmas 2004! The lack of measurable snow had prevented her from using her new sled for over a year! Well, today she was able to pull that shiny "new" sled out of storage and get down to business - and the result is the "Picture Of The Day".   Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo Interesting Articles
