SNOW !

We have lots of snow coming down since it got dark. Before that, we had freezing rain. We're supposed to get around 5" of blowing snow. Here when the snow blows, it really drifts quick and high. I rescheduled an appointment I had in Humboldt at 9:00 tomorrow and an eye dr. apptmt. in Ft. Dodge. We were also going to do our Christmas shopping. Will hope Fri. works now.

I've been doing laundry and all things that need power today in case the power goes out which tends to happen a lot here. Bill says many of the lines around here are "very old" (being nice here). We did buy a generator late last winter that will run our furnace, refrigerator, the well, a few lights and TV so we can get by pretty well if we have to do that. We have about 15 gal. of gas on hand to run it.

After church and the Christmas Tea at the library yesterday, we had our Hometown Christmas which was quite a bigger event this year. There were 30 vendors set up in the old school gym (more on the school another time), we had Santa & Mrs. Claus there, a living nativity scene with a local couple and their baby, the Horse & Pony Club/Rodeo group had homemade chicken noodle soup, chili and potato bacon soup meals and sold out - before I got ours - but that was good for them. Peggy and I sing with the Community Choir and we had received a call from John asking if we would like to sing/carol at this event. There were about 7 of us and we sang Christmas carols for maybe 30 min. It was fun.
