Today's icebreaker question:

With winter just around the corner, what's your favorite memory involving snow?  If you don't live in a snowy climate, what's your favorite winter memory?

[Misty11]

Hello Everyone -

Just let me start off by saying, I dislike snow but I have to put up with it because I live in the good old Midwest.

I can remember one snowy cold afternoon I was out sledding with my brothers and sisters. We lived out in the country, in our back yard there were two hills - the first one was huge while the next one was small. We would fly from the top of the huge hill and end up at the bottom of our drive way, which was about 1/2 a mile. I remember laughing so hard that we could not get out of the sled. Those were the good ole' days of just being a kid.

Misty/Frank - sledding sounds like so much fun!  We didn't have any hills to sled on, so a friend and I used to climb his barn and slide off of the very top of the roof into a huge snowpile whenever his parents weren't looking

Adrian,

I hope the barn was not very big or the snow drifts were huge.  Sledding is fun but I probably would have thought sliding off the roof of a barn would be more fun as a kid.

Frank - it was a big barn, two stories with a steepled roof.  That's why we had to wait until his parents weren't looking

Misty - I'm STILL ornery!

I love this icebreaker!  My favorite memory:

When I was four, there was an immense blizzard and our garage actually drifted over.  My father had parked the tractor beside it, and that was actually drifted over as well!  But all was not well - my brother (who's quite a bit older) had left a very expensive hammer, on the ground, by the tractor.  Dad was so upset he made him dig a hole all the way down through the snow to get the hammer.

While I was standing on the drift next to my brother, and him being my brother, well, he pushed me in   Naturally he was in trouble for that, but after he had to pull me back out, I wandered back up the snowdrift when he wasn't looking and jumped right back in, all the while yelling "MOM!!!!! Brother pushed me in the snowdrift again!"

I think he shot rubber bands at me for a week because of that.

Adrian -

This is a pretty funny story, a great memory in deed. You should like you were a little ornery  when you were little, trying to get your brother in trouble...... Sounds familiar, I was the oldest girl and this happened a lot. One of my little sisters was always telling on me. We didn't really like one another when we were little. Funny how things work out.

My non-profit account is limited and I've uploaded what's been asked for in the Resolution Center months ago,

but the status remains.

Just what is "Organization and Payment Information" other than business documentation & a bank statement?

Please advise.

As for snow...I love how it quiets everything down and makes the world just stop for a while...

Thanks,

greggno
