I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of ghost towns. I know there are dozens of them in the “Old West” but I’m more intrigued by the more modern ones. You can read about 24 of them at this site.
They are all intriguing. I really want to travel to Pennsylvania to check this one out, but the one I found most interesting was this one, the “Deserted Walled City of Kowloon, Hong Kong“.
(I’m hoping to update the site a little more frequently with links like these.)
Have you found Cheesus? This lady has:
Kicks are for trids!
I know my cereal. I love cereal. I could probably live on it. I once bought three boxes of expired Honey Nut Cheerios when I was in Spain because it was 1/2 off. So yeah, I know and love my cereal. How well do you know yours? Find out by taking the Breakfast Cereal Quiz.
I scored 18/20. And I still dispute one of the questions being a trick question.
As for my favorite cereal, that would be the delicious Chocos. I crave them every morning.
I know I haven’t updated my site in like, forever. I apologize. I have a bunch of stuff I’d like to share, but for the moment, I must share this video with you. It’s been a while since I’ve done a video of the week, so I figured this was as good as any to get back into the habit of posting to the site. I present to you the best Star Wars “clip” ever. If you are drinking Diet Coke, put it down and then watch:
Sorry to all of you that regularly check gisforgreta.com. This is the EXACT same post. It just makes my life easier. Basically, I’m too lazy to write another post and try to come up with something witty to say.
In case you live out of state, let me give you an idea of what is happening in the Buckeye State. We have been literally buried in snow. Friday Tony decided to work from home to beat the storm. That was a good choice. By 3:30, the streets near our house were covered in thick ice. The snowy ice pellets/snow never stopped coming until near 6 pm on Saturday. I thought I heard we topped out around canadian roulette 15ish inches?!!? We had drifts that were over the kids’ heads. That leads to conditions like these (taken a few hours before the snow finally stopped):

The front walk
Of course the kids had to get in on the action:
Mason was excited to help Tony “shobel” the snow.
Isn’t this awesome? The kids didn’t even need a hill for sledding! They just used the bank of snow from shoveling the drive. Ha!
It also seemed a good time to introduce Ethan to snow. He kept crawling to the window to look at it, so I decided to bundle him up and go outdoors. He had socks for mittens with his hand left inside his sleeves. Two pairs of socks and boots. By the time I was done, all I could think of was Randy–“I can’t put my arms down!”
Another Christmas Story quote: “He laid there like a slug. It was his only defense.”
They didn’t last too long. The wind was really whipping around out there. They left their clothes in their wake and ran to the kitchen for some hot chocolate. Ethan crawled over to play with the little chunks of snow that came off of the boots.
Church has been cancelled for tomorrow. There is honestly a few feet of snow blocking the end of our street thanks to the many passes by snowplows. Not sure when we’ll get dug out. Meanwhile we have kids to entertain.
Ethan is bored, too. Can you tell he’s teething?
