First Post:
Sheila has been on the road from Chastain Road in Kennesaw for two hours. She has almost reached Hwy US 41… IN KENNESAW!!! Lordy, I wish I could get my transporter to working so I could take over the driving for her. Scotty! SCOTTY!!!

Ugh. Took Leigha two hours for her normal 20 minute commute. This is awful!
Ruth Baird Shaw
I feel for Sheila.This may be a family story to tell in the future...this old lady wirthin a few weeks of age 91...driving in the famous 2012 snow. (This one may make news before it is over) I went to Rah Rah's at the church at 11 this morning. As I go out of my car I saw a few (very, very few snow flurries) . When I left to come home the ground was covered sand snow coming down have. I drove home a 5 miles and less per hour and if I had had another mile to go...would nto have made it...the snow was coming down faster than my windshied wipers could handle...

I complained that my 20-25 minute commute from Floyd Springs took an hour, but by comparison I WAS virtually teleported!
Terrell Shaw
Oh, Mama! I hate to even think of you out in this! Do you need to keep some drips going tonight? It'll be down to 11 or so again the next two nights.
Lillian Shaw
Poor Mom

A dear lady friend at Rah Rah's asked me about Lily this morning. I tried to tell her about our wonderful 12 year old Lily! I so appreciate Trinity UMC's prayers and continued interest in Lily.

Sheila is STILL in the car in KENNESAW... If she xan find a hotel room she'll just stay there.
Betty Smith Franklin
Good plan.
Laurie Craw
No employer but hospitals, public utilities, law enforcement, highway and fire departments should require employees to report for work on days like this.
Tracy S Lawler
Has Sheila found a warm place to stay?

We do have the COOLEST library, though I loved the Carnegie Library and thought it was great that Carnegie did that.

Later: Our house, on Avenue A, was built in 1869 by Daniel Mitchell, one of Rome's founders. It was one his last construction projects. Wendy Ramsey
Beautiful house!
Craig Brewer
Wow, he was old...:0)
Terrell Shaw
As our buddy from Texas has said, "Ooops…" I'll fix the date.
Craig Brewer
Lol
Joan Ledbetter
Love the design!
Ruth Baird Shaw
It looks beautiful with the snow!
Thom Holt
Who did he build it for ??
Wanda Mulkey Dagraedt
Lots of character there. Lovely.
Mike Dias
Beautiful!
Craig Brewer
I really love the old houses....especially Mom and Dad's in Cave Spring....so much character.
Terrell Shaw
Craig, my ancestor Joel Brewer was the first Ordinary (now called Probate Judge) of Polk County. He lived, and is buried, at Fish Creek between Rockmart and Cedartown. Any chance we are cousins?
Barbara Garvey
Beautiful home, Terrell! Craig Brewer Could be...
Laurie Craw
One of your and Sheila's many contributions to the community is restoring this architectural beauty. Jane Jameson Absolutely beautiful! I grew up in a home built in 1867 by my grandfather, C C McKenzie. Does your home have the fake baseboards under closets for hiding valuables? My grandfather also built the original Fifth Ave Baptist Church, Forth Ward School, and a brick home with huge white columns near the old Post Office. John Countryman Great house. And you have taken loving care of it!
Sandy Doughty
It's gorgeous!!!

Sheila is still stuck on the road --- seven hours and counting. She has been at a standstill for an hour now waiting for an accident on Old US 41 in Acworth to be cleared. We have made a reservation at the Best Western at Acworth for her, but she can't seem to get there!
Barbara Jean Smith
Great news!
Joan Ledbetter
Happiness!!
Terrell Shaw
That is a big load off my mind… and I KNOW hers!
Kiela Burton Beam
Yea!
Bitsy Burton
Oh I am so glad to hear that! Hope she can find food now that she has shelter!
Annette Winningham
Sure am glad she's safe, it's been a nightmare I'm sure.
Tersi Bendiburg
Thankful with you. Jordan is still on the road.
Terrell Shaw
Tersi, I hope and pray he is warmly ensconced in a comfortable spot soon!! Sheila has walked across to a McDonald's for some food, and is feeling much relieved.
Adaïr AIis
Glad she is safe
Anita Finley Osborn
thank the Lord!
Mary Nisbet Asbury
Yay!!!!!
Ruth Pinson
Will is finally in Rome. We are both blessed!
Betty Smith Franklin
So happy!
Terrell Shaw
Great to hear that, Ruth. Just talked with Sheila again and she's comfy in the best Western. I think I'll call it a night myself soon. What a day!
Sandy Doughty
What a nightmare of a day and night for so many stranded travelers! It's great to hear a success story... someone's who's reached their destination!!
Laurie Craw
Great! I was afraid the hotels might be full by the time she got there.
