Lat year we had, according to our local weatherman, a grand total of 6 inches of snow all winter. Right now, I, with yardstick in hand, measured 3+ inches in my back yard. And the thermometer is hovering at 0F. So, with the upcoming outlook of more snow, freezing rain, sleet, and back to snow, I am beginning to believe that we will have a white Christmas this year. Some years we do, some years we don't, but it's more fun if we do.
This year we are supposed to trek to the capital to my daughter's for our family Christmas get together. That is supposed to occur this coming Saturday. That's the day of the freezing rain, rain , sleet, then snow that is coming our way, then plummeting temps back into single digits, with negative numbers at night. I asked her if they had a plan B, and she said, "No, but we can do what we always have done and converge on you on Christmas Day and you can feed us!" Then she laughed!! I hope she was kidding! Or at least if they come here, they bring food. I don't cook for crowds. I barely cook for one! Not that I can't, I just would rather eat nuked hot dogs, and open a canned veggie, or even eat a big bowl of cereal. I rarely have enough food on hand to feed the troops! And this month is not long on groceries cause I bought gifts and such!
But wherever we end up, it will be fun. We will welcome little Annabelle into our family traditions, though at 2 months, I doubt if she'll pay much attention. My halls are as decked as they are going to get, and I am ready. My list is short, and needs are few. I just want my family near and dear and well and happy. What more could an old guy ask!
Until Next Time,
Peace on Earth,

We will definitely have a white Christmas unless he-- unleashes its heat. Very cold right now.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting lots of snow which is benefiting our still too low water table.
Got your card. Thanks. Something will get to you eventually.
