Snow

Love this time of year with all the Church feasts. Today is the feast of the Holy Family. We have so much to be thankful for as a family as we bring this year to a close.

Brought in firewood, built a fire, and sat by the fireplace reading most of last night. As much as I have enjoyed the snow I have equally hated the brutal cold. Went to Mass yesterday evening. Planning to go out for a Sunday newspaper and play cards/have lunch with friends this afternoon. Have been given good pointers from family members on good behavior at card parties. Will take it all into consideration but no promises not to be competitive. After all, isn't that what it is all about? I am in constant competition with myself and still trying to catch up---think about it.

Also, think about keeping warm, healthy, safe, and keeping in touch.

Love,
Mom
