I Sent a "Thanks!"...

Xerox has a program where you can send email greetings to our troops. I have added a "widget" to the side of my blog and will leave it there during the holiday season. No matter our opinions on the political topic of engaging our troops, we need to support the men and women who are far from home.

This has circulated at my workplace and a blogger friend City Mouse did a post on this yesterday. I think it's a great idea. To send your email card just click in the artwork section on the widget to the left. It will open a new tab behind this page, click on that new tab at the top and choose your card!

And why not check our my new "Friday Friend" which will become a weekly sharing of blog sites that I enjoy. I'll start with my friend City Mouse...

Of course I realize it is now Saturday,.... but anyway,... Enjoy!

P.S......

And by 4 p.m. this afternoon,... our valley is ready for a "White Christmas"...

That's all there is!...

We only got 5" of snow, not enough for a snow day off from school.

And I was going to put up my Christmas tree today! Oh well,... my lunch is packed, out the door I go!

Winter Storm Warning,...

A quote from the web page of WPTZ-tv,... looks like it's going to get messy!

"Winter storm warning in effect from 4 pm this afternoon to 4 pm est Friday, The NWS in burlington has issued a winter storm warning for heavy snow and sleet for essex county new york, as well as central, north central and northeastern vermont. This warning is in effect from 4 pm this afternoon to 4 pm est Friday. The winter storm watch is no longer in effect. 6 to 12 inches of snow with some sleet accumulation are expected in the warning area by Friday afternoon."

I wonder if we'll have a "snow day" and be home from school tomorrow?

Snoozy Saturday!...

Although today started out bright, it is now overcast. The temperature is at 24°. Obviously it is a better day to stay inside, and snooze in the chair here next to mine. This is "Midnight".... or as I call her, "Middy".... she allows me to live here with her and to pay all the bills!

'Tis the Season!...

Basketball season, that is! This is my granddaughter's third year playing high school basketball. I go to most of her games. So far this year they have a record of 1-1. We believe the win column will be much larger as the season goes on.

Go ladies!

Snow on the Bog,...

When visiting in Tupper Lake on Saturday we made a side trip to the Bog River Falls. In any season it's one of Mother Nature's most beautiful places. After a fresh snow it seemed especially magical!
Looking up-river from the bridge...

Turning to look the other direction from the bridge over the Bog River,... we see camps on Tupper Lake.

If you wish to go, travel south from the village of Tupper Lake via Rt 30, then a short way after a right turn onto Rt. 421. You won't be disappointed!
