Happy Winter

It is December 21st and the first day of winter. It is cold here again, but nothing compared to what our daughters in the Seattle area are experiencing.

They have had snow for the last week or more with lots of accumulation. Seattle is not accustomed to this much snow so things there are not very pleasant. They are expecting snow all week so a white Christmas for them.

Our Canadian friends who left here on Tuesday, have made it as far as Salem, OR. They said that it is snowing there with a lot more to come. They are trying to get to British Columbia for work, but find themselves stranded in Or. at least for one day.

We are off today, and we are just hanging out. We are washing clothes and cleaning the house.
It is too cold to do much of anything else.

Last night we went to a 50th wedding anniversary party for some people from church. It was held at Strach Farms. They have some good barbecue. They had a band and cake. He and I used to usher together @ 0730 mass on Sundays. He still does and we are comfortable with St. Edwards, so we make the drive over there for mass. We also get to spend Sunday mornings with Val & Tony and sometimes Chris & Linda for breakfast. It is enjoyable.

The kids are sending Christmas presents tomorrow, via Fed Ex or UPS, so will will be here at least until the packages arrive.

Ta ta for now
