Merry Christmas!  My neighbor called yesterday and wanted to know if my computer was broken.  I hadn’t posted for the last 5 days.  Actually, last Saturday the forecast was for a horrendous storm with widespread power outages.  In this area where many homes are heated with electricity, that can be a huge problem.  I had a call from three of my quilting buddies, all widows, who ask how I would like company to weather out the storm?  (I have two propane stoves.)  They arrived with flashlights, quilting projects, food that didn’t have to be cooked, cards, and a puzzle.  We had a pajama party for 4 days.  The power never went out, we got a lot of projects finished, and the last quilter left this morning.    I ventured out this morning and took this photo from my car.  We didn’t get a lot of snow, but did get freezing ice, were I’m located. With two artificial hips and an artificial knee, I don’t walk on ice well.  I have gone back and posted photos for the last five days.    I wish you the blessings of the season, and will finish with a quote from a friend, “Look for goodness in the world.”  Norma, the Lavenderlady

 These friends belong to neighbors down the road.  I also took this picture from the car on the 24th, and it is a late post.  (See the 24th)

 Snowy and I ventured out to the compost pile to add some vegetable waste one day and took this photo.  Doesn’t look like a lot, but it can be a challenge.

 Now, I’m caught up.  See the 24th.

She doesn’t stay out long, but she still wants to go out.

More snow came in last night.  I woke to this sight this morning.  From the warmth of my kitchen it looks soft and wet.  No snow plows on the roads yet, so I will be missing a very important dental appointment.  With a bum arm, I’m not about to put myself out there and cause someone else to be hurt.  I think I’ll read a good book.

Located in the first block of West Bell Street, Galare Thai has an excellent lunch menu.  This photo was taken before snow.
