Snowed in!!!!

We are snowed in with 16+" of snow right now! Yes, I said 16+ inches!!! Interestingly enough, north of us has about a foot, so we got more! :) Below are some pictures of all the snow...

Showing off the snow up to 20" on the yardstick.

The trees all snow covered between our house and our neighbor's.

Our barn/garage all snow covered. See it's even sliding off the roof.

The ring you can barely see is our fire ring which is 14" tall and very easily visible in good weather. My dad had a hard time finding it today!

Our cars are going to be fun to dig out!

In the midst of all this, they transported my Nana from the hospital at 7:30pm yesterday to the rehab center. We couldn't believe it, but no matter what we said, that's when they were going to do it. By that point, we already had 10" of snow and could not get to the hospital. We are also on a Level 2 snow emergency which means that the police don't want you out on the roads unless absolutely you have to be. So we have been on the phone a lot checking on her and making sure she is okay. She did safely arrive and get settled in.

Now, get this...here's the interesting part of the story. We had picked a place about 3 miles from my grandfather. It was a new place and seemed nice; however, the social worker delayed in sending our paperwork in. By the time she did that, there were no spots open even though there had been plenty the day before. They had gotten inundated due to many discharges from the hospitals in preparation for the snow storm. So we had to scramble to find a new rehab place. We had a place called The Wexner Heritage House highly recommended to us. It's not only a top quality rehab place, but also the ONLY Jewish rehab center in our area. They are Jewish owned and run but interdenominational in who they serve. They told us it's nearly impossible to get in there. Well, I went ahead and called. The lady in admissions said they usually don't have any spots available, but they "happened" to have two people who were due to come in this weekend bumped to later next week...so they had 2 beds open. I couldn't believe it, so we were able to get my grandma in there. This will be interesting for us to experience and be right in the middle of the Jewish Community with us going back to our Hebrew Roots. There is even a Kosher Market about 5 miles from the rehab center.

Today is Mommy's birthday, so we enjoyed our normal Shabbat morning of listening to Eddie. We are all snowed in, so it was just Eddie running the show from home. Three of us logged in from home and helped admin. Eddie asked me for my vote for which recorded teaching to play after the live things, and I picked the 7,000 Year Plan of Yah. Oh, that sounds like a good teaching...I haven't heard it before. He did an hour and a half 5 minute update (explaining the news events of the week through Biblical prophecy and Hebraic understanding) then he did a live Q&A for about 2 hours. It was about 2pm when we wrapped up. He then replayed the 5 minute update and played the teaching.

We had lunch of cream of broccoli soup with cheese and crackers and pickles. Then we had cherry cheesecake for dessert in honor of Mommy's birthday. She has yet to open her presents as she's on the phone enjoying catching up with "Aunt" Deborah. :) So I can't tell what they are yet. Shhhhhhhhh!

Shabbat shalom ya'll!
