Snowed In… Comfortably

Dear Reader:

Don’t you love it when seemingly bad circumstances turn out to be a memorable occasion?

We all hoped that Walsh would be able to get Mollie and Baby Eloise home Wednesday morning but it was not to be. He and the boys barely made it to John and Mandy’s and he was visibly shaken.

Even if he had made it Mollie would not have been released- Eloise was given the clear on the Strep bacteria but was a “little yellow” ( jaundiced) and so ended up getting rid of the IV in exchange for the mask and lamp for 24 hours.

Her brothers thought she was cool – a superhero!

Mollie sent me this picture of her coming home outfit! Our little snow angel! She has put up with a lot in her short stay.

You can only imagine the excitement of all the grandchildren Wednesday afternoon when they woke up from their naps!

It was one of the most beautiful snows I have ever witnessed… and to spend it with family was priceless!

One big spend the night party!

While I am in Mt Pleasant Summerville received the most accumulation of snow. Vickie took this picture yesterday morning.

* So happy- just heard from Walsh and they got Mollie and Eloise and got back home safely! So relieved and thankful! 1:15 Thursday!

There has been so much excitement and drama since New Year’s Eve- I think we had better hold onto our hats- 2018 looks like it is going to be quite a ride!

So until tomorrow… Thank you God for my family and our newest addition- Eloise!

The scene from the back porch with dangling icicles was such a gift of beauty!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

A veritable “winter wonderland,” right? So glad you got to spend a warm winter’s night with (most of) your grands!! How precious and memorable was that?! And your new little Eloise looks adorable in her going home outfit!
I’m still in awe at the amount of snow the SC Low Country got!! A friend told me the last time y’all got that much snow there was in 1989 – same year as your ol’ “friend” Hugo!! Hard to believe! So maybe you’re right: maybe 2018 is going to be quite a ride!! Hang on to your hats – and gloves and boots!
Stay warm!!
Much love,
Sis
