#TLW10: When the Snow Falls
She went to the door and pulled on her coat, expecting to help bring in supplies and groceries. It was just her timing that when she opened the door, a bundled figure carrying three grocery bags staggered inside her home groaning. “Ughhhhhhh.”
“What the -”
Bette saw a snow-coated Shane in a ridiculously thin coat following, carrying a case of bottled water with a bag of potatoes on top. She gave Bette a chin up gesture as she came inside. “Sup,” she said as she passed, trooping into the kitchen.
Bette furrowed her brow and heard the thump of the trunk. She came down the walkway and took a bag from Tina’s arms. “Glad you made it,” she said with a smile.
“Wait ‘til I tell you what I’ve been through,” Tina said with a frustrated sound. “Let’s get inside.”
They hurried indoors and went into the kitchen. Shane was shaking the snow out of her hair over the sink, and the bundled mass in a coat that looked like a sleeping bag was Alice, busily unpacking foodstuffs onto the counter.
“So what happened?” Bette asked, setting the bag of groceries down.
“It was unreal,” Tina puffed, dropping her bag. “Like something out of a disaster movie.”
“Only it was no movie,” Alice piped up, pushing back her fur lined hood. “You should have seen it, Bette. People pushing and shoving in the grocery store, picking the shelves clean! I almost had to knock someone out over the last jar of organic peanut butter. She tried to snatch it from me! I would have clocked her but Shane stepped in.”
Bette looked at Shane with raised eyebrows. “I gave her a sack of brown rice in trade.”
“We could have used that rice,” Tina said irritably.
Bette looked from each of their faces to the array of food they had unpacked. “Was all this really necessary? We had plenty of food, T.”
Tina’s mouth was set in a grim line. “I hope this will be enough.”
“We’re going to have to ration it,” Alice said. “Luckily Shane is next door and we have her food, too.”
“Uh… I wouldn’t count on too much,” Shane said cautiously.
Alice made an irritated noise. “You’re never ready for anything.”

Such a fun story. I love snow, too!
Thanks for the post. :)
Just lovely! Thanks!
Maks me smile and laugh, not n easy thing to do these days. I remember snow storms well, when the snow was higher than I was tall I grew up in real Northern California
Great story! It was fluff in the best possible way. Funny but it is true that when you live in sunny climes, folks panic when there is a hail storm or heavy rains. They also forget how to drive reasonably. I really enjoyed it. You have a really good writing sense of humor. Any followups in mind???
Funny and cute..I love the gang together through thick and thin and to the end…Angie doesnt have a care in the world so adorable…ready for more
Thanks, enjoyed it.
Very cute
Funny,thank you.
Funny love it
LA drivers in a snowstorm? An inch of snow in Atlanta shut down the city for two days so in West Hollywood only the drag queens would be prepared. I can only imagine Alice with her 20 year supply of beans and rice and Shane’s mustard as a condiment. Angie is the only grownup in this group. Thanks for posting.
