   I have looked on your other site and didnt see anything posted so I looked here and see this as the most recent. I wonder if you knew that we are likely to have a white Christmas here in the NW. The temps have been sub freezing for over a week and though they are slightly higher in the forecast for this week, they are still hovering close to freezing as the highs and dipping below for the lows, and there is precipitation forecast every day this week. we had a big snowfall last night and have had snow on the ground and streets since mid week last week, as the temperatures have stayed in the twenties all the time. we had 3-5 inches and now about 6 more inches on top of that, although the tv says our area had 9.5 inches dumped in this storm. We (or I) bought a new prelit tree, it looks very natural, a “just cut Scotch pine”. the cat tried to get up inside to climb the trunk, but has not gotten very far and now in the last couple days has thankfully left it alone. Other than that, I have put fake greens with candles on the fireplace mantle but the wreath is still in the garage and a few strands of lights are in there too. Rick has been sick and has not felt like doing any decorating, and the wreath has to be hung by a cord that is tied to a nail in the overhang over the door and it is just too high for me to reach and I wont do a ladder on the porch to hang it as even if I do get the gumption to climb it, I would not be able to feel comfortable to take the wreath up and be able to tie it. So the snow scene is definitely the thing that is getting me in the Christmas mood.

   Marysue,
   what is your email address? I want to send you some snow photos you may appreciate. we may end up with a white christmas although rain is in the forecast, but temperatures are barely over freezing so it may still come down as snow early in the day. I am nostalgic about it of course, but stressful driving in it and having to shovel the driveway. I have done that 3 times. the first time by myself about 5 inches before Rick got home, and then we both did it about 7 more inches including a layer of ice from freezing rain, and this morning both of us did more about 4 more inches, and a layer of ice and packed snow underneath. Rick also dug out the street in front of us and did the neighbors driveway, since her husband is not home. Now they are predicting another snowstorm to hit tomorrow that may bring 1-5 inches to our county. I had today off (Monday) due to the bad snowy weather. Most things were closed, and we have not had mail delivered to our street since last Wednesday so we went to the post office, slipping and sliding most of the way, to pick it up. It is a bad time to have problems with mail delivery. the post office is extremely busy and so standing in line for mail can take a long long time.

   Becky, I’ve been away and haven’t done anything with my sites for awhile … we were busy with Christmas and going to go to MI a couple of days after, and instead left the afternoon of Christmas Day, a sudden decision since we had nothing else going on and were anxious to just get going, though we weren’t exactly ready to leave, we worked hard and got out of the house by 5pm. Normally, the last few years, we go to a movie in the afternoon, and since we weren’t happy with anything that was out, we just felt empty since that was our tradition, and filled that space with the “lets go early” thing. (We’ve traditionally left earlier than planned on multiple trips over the years.)
