Dec 24 Happy Holidays! May God Bless You and Your Family!


The power is still on but I am not sure for how long. Once the winds start whipping and we get our 12'-25' (what??) inches of expected snow I am sure we will lose power.


Oh well, we have a fireplace, wine, games and lanterns in place. It may be a fun and memorable time!


I want to wish my oldest daughter a Happy 20th Birthday!! How can that happen since I am only 30?? LOL (I think I am a little older than that). May all of you keep warm and safe this blessed time of the year!
