Old Man Winter

Winter is officially here and has come in like a roaring lion.  The wind blew all night with gust as high as 56 mph.  My husband, Laney and I were up most of the night as winds sounded as if they would blow out the windows on the second floor.  The house was cracking and popping all night.  There is now a blanket of ice and snow on the ground. We are fortunate that we still have electricity as 12,000 people lost power last eve. I'll bundle up later to assess the house outside for damage. Just four weeks ago we had repairs done for storms that had come through in late summer.  We are thankful we still have a house and grateful this storm was not like the wrath of Sandy. Prayers for all those still without a home from Sandy.

Laney and I are going to observe a moment of silence at 9:30 am for the deceased children and teachers in Connecticut. My heart is still sad for those families

Well the countdown is getting shorter as there is only four days til Christmas! Hope all your Christmas dreams come true. My dream has been fulfilled to simply live.  Life is beautiful!
