This starts our holiday posting schedule so we hope you and your family have a wonderful time with your family and friends. We should be back to posting regularly around Jan. 3rd.

Good Weds. to you. We are supposed to get an ice storm this evening so posting may be sporadic ovImage by Zedzap(.2nd flickr birthday ) via Flickrer the next few days. I will be glad when winter is over, although it hasn't really started yet. We got almost a foot of snow over the weekend, and there has been snow on the ground every day during December. Maybe we'll make up for it in January and we'll have some 60 degree days, guess I can dream about that anyway.
