Cabin Fever Strikes Again

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We have been busy at work this morning and getting ready for the weekend.  I don’t think I need to check the weather forecast to see what it is going to be like out—MORE snow showers, blowing & drifting, windy & COLD! Hopefully not enough snow to cancel the 4th Annual Central WV Hunting and Fishing Show this weekend Feb 27-28 at the Summersville Armory. A lot of the younger kids and older “grown up” kids are looking forward to getting out, especially with so much cabin fever this month.

Speaking of shows – Sue and I will be heading back out next Friday to North Canton, OH for the Buckeye Council Boy Scouts of America Show March 6 at the Kent State Stark Campus.  Hopefully this trip will be better than the last and no major blizzards are planned to hit.  If you are in the area please stop by and see us. We are so excited about The Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in Fayette County.  We are looking forward to meeting a lot of scouts next weekend and inviting them to stop by River Expeditions this summer to earn their whitewater merit badge. 

To everyone that has cabin fever and is tired of all the snow, storms and winter in general, there are only 23 days until SPRING.   – SS

Relief Is In Sight

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Are my eyes deceiving me?? Is that the Sun? I am so glad to see the sun shining today.  It seems as though the only thing everyone around here has been able to see the past few weeks was snow and darkness.  The past few weeks have been trying times for everyone with all the power outages and no water due to the freezing temperatures. These are times when friends, families and neighbors pull together to make sure that everyone has heat and supplies.  It was a lot of hard work getting some of our friends and family dug out of the snow in order to pass along much needed supplies or even moving them to warmer conditions. Even though these times make you very tired and weary at the same time your heart is warmed with the love and heartfelt ‘thank you’ received in return.

Hopefully, these sunny days and warmer temperatures will continue for a few more days and help melt away the ice/snow and give us time to restock and get everyone settled.  These sunny days warm the heart and soul of everyone who has been under the weather and shut in. We all look forward to Spring and the sunny days ahead. Seeing the sun in the mornings is definitely a good way to start the day.

On a much grander scale, everyone needs to send their heartfelt thoughts and prayers out to the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Also, we need to remember relief workers and the military personnel that are working in Haiti during this crisis. Let the Lord be with them during this trying time. SG
