A Throwback event was planned by my husband and I for our daughters. We bought them tickets for Christmas and the event was held last Friday evening in Kansas City. But as you can see from some photos below, we were kinda worried if we’d get to make it there. Ice is the worst! Can’t stress it enough. There’s nothing moving, unless it’s you falling on your rump or other body parts that happen to land first. Such as my youngest hitting her head on the pavement headed to work. So glad she wasn’t hurt badly! Scary stuff and not the best part of living in the Midwest.
Double Icicles out my back door Twigs beaten down from wind and freezing rain Icy View from the back porch Shards of death as the hubby called them. A clear ‘Do not enter’ signal.
The Throwback Event as I have dubbed it was a concert to see Sara Evans who happens to be a Missouri-born country music singer in case you weren’t aware. Three of us met the eldest daughter at the Ameristar Casino to see the show. We took a couple prints of the 2002 pic below along for autographing.

Little did we know we’d get to take another photo or 2. They’re all grown up now clearly and this mom is feeling all sappy and stuff. My how time flies. Some song lyrics from Born to Fly:
Hey, ’cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a seed
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I want, wild and free Who doesn’t want this for their children? Some more photos below of the fam and some doors that are the best I could do with an icy parking lot on the outside. I.Don’t. Skate.
Me and the Mister Essential Doors Sara Evans Christmas gift is now a reality
” Hope you’ll take some time to visit other Thursday Door posts at Norm 2.0 and have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
How much fun was that!

We had ice here, too, two days of everything encased in it. Have to admit it was beautiful and fortunately the roads were fine. Glad your daughter wasn’t hurt badly. Ice can certainly be treacherous.

It’s certainly been a winter to remember! Thankful that I work from home these days. The youngest is going to carry the ice melt with herself next time to sprinkle ahead. Stay safe in your winter wonderland 😊

Extra ice melt is in hand for the slick spots. And yes it keeps coming at us in several parts of the continent. At least this year it has. Hope spring is not too far off.

[…] had a few weather related posts for the Thursday Doors crowd. There was an Ice Storm, a Missouri River flood, and a spring tornado in Lawrence, Kansas to get the year going. Not that […]
