Well, it finally snowed. The schools were closed, so Dave got to spend the whole day with us. It was beautiful outside. I kept telling the kids we were in Narnia tonight. Our yard looks like we just stepped out of the wardrobe right into Narnia. All the beautiful snow covering the trees and the ground. I got some good pictures of the kids playing and of what the yard looked like covered in white. Who knows when we will see this much snow again.
Tonight we went to the University for a piano festival. Anna Magdalena Bach told the story of her husband Johann Sebastian Bach. Well, it was a lady dressed up like her telling the story, but I assume you know that since they lived in the 17th century. It was wonderful. She told the story of his life and played his music on the piano. She told of how late in his life he lost his sight. He got it back for 10 days and during that time he wrote his last hymn. I think it was called "Before Thy Throne O God I stand". It was a beautiful song. I'm searching for the words so I can post them . I would love for us to sing it at church also.

Our drive home was a slippery one. I think the roads are actually closed. That's what happens when we get 2 inches of snow, the roads and the schools close down. All in all today was a good day. A happy snow day!!! Alabama style.
