I can?t believe it is December already.? As I am writing, I am watching it snow.? It is so beautiful and quiet outside.? A perfect day to sit in front of the fire with a good book.
According to all the weather folks and NOAA, this storm promises to be a major snow producer.? The prediction varies according to who you listen to, but at least a foot is predicted.? So stay warm and safe.? Please take the time to check on your neighbors and friends.? And please don?t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.? We are so thankful for family and friends.? Out grandchildren provided us with lots of joy and give us so much for which to be thankful.
