There's no time like the present

It was blowing winds of snow straight in to our faces as we walked out of the car on our way in to the store. It was so cold that me and my partner breathed warm oxygen into eachothers necks while waiting for MIL to grab her purse and a shopping bag from the backseat. We waited probably 5 minutes before I looked at her. And there she stood with pen and paper towards the car and wrote a shopping list in the middle of the snow storm.
