Written for RDP, where sgeoil asks us
to get creative with the word “saunter”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.
My groggy, half-awake husband thought he would just saunter out for the newspaper this morning as usual, but then he discovered we had gotten socked overnight by more than 2 feet of snow.
No news is good news?

We didn’t even get a dusting, but we’re still shoveling out from last week’s storm.

Ah, so much for that paper. LOL We got dumped on with snow, too, after a nice false Spring.

You are welcome. We were supposed to get hit with a big snow this weekend, but fortunately, it went around us. 🙂 We only got a dusting.
