You missed a great party. Oddly it warmed up to 68 degrees yesterday. We cleaned the porch and Dad used his Christmas present from me...a new green chiminea. Collin, Matt Scott, Chas and Alli, The Gorski's, Peter and Amanda,Chris S and Kelly, the Mclaughlins, the Orschelns all came and helped us consume Christmas dinner and leftovers. Great time. Thanks for calling. I know Seano is looking forward to a nice long chat with you, Patrick.

I am so happy Nell liked the rose cups. Her photo was OUTSTANDING.

Today it is pouring rain. Trees torn up from the roots over night with high speed winds and lots of thunder clapping. Temperatures are dropping and I bet we get snow tonight. So, we are grateful for the one day respite from winter!
