Pat,

Please tell me how to get to your place so I can stay in the snow with you.
hahahahahaha!

It started snowing here in Caldwell, Idaho very early in the morning
Thursday.  we may have gotten around 3 inches.  It may have rained later
though.

This evening I went with my care provider to our Christmas parade, where her
youngest daughter was an angel in a church float.  Of course it was cold,
but I didn't feel too bad, as I wore a warm coat with a hood and gloves.  It
was fun.

Sharon
