WINTER IS BORING

THE SNOWBANKS KEEP GETTING BIGGER!!!!!

If you ever wondered how they plow parking lots up here heres a picture of a couple of the ( "SNO-MOVERS),

Winter can be boring, We watched it snow yesterday when we made our trek up to Indian River to Eddie's Meat Market to stock up, filled the freezer so should be good for couple months!!! The drive included blowing snow, snow drifts, white outs and driving speeds of 25 to 30 as ya couldn't see.

Today it snowed all day, all evening, winds gusted to 30 MPH and is still snowing, blowing, drifting and white outs as we drove over to the "Stone Soup Supper" which even due to the terrible driving conditions was very well attended!!! The homemade "Lasagna" was delicious.

This is a picture taken about 9:30PM tonight outside our back door!!! It keeps snowing and snowing and snowing and snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next Thursday's "Stone Soup Dinner" I am cooking Scalloped Potatoes and Smithfield Hams & a veggie for our turn at the plate and our group will be playing some Old Time Gospel music, and other favorites during and after dinner.

Tomorrow is my "Birthday"!! ( MADE IT TO ANOTHER ONE), Honey is taking me out to dinner tomorrow night DEPENDING ON THE STORM as their is a "NO TRAVEL" advisory posted and tomorrow we are supposed to get several more inches of snow, I quit counting after we reached 170 inches of snow for the season with more coming.

If we get snowed in which is not unusual in the "North Country" I finally got Jack's Book, "RAGS" and am reading when I can get it away from the wife!!!

The bright spot in all this is they are tapping the maple trees in the Sugar Bushes and sap should start running in a couple weeks then the Maple Fest in late march and then hopefully SPRING!!!

I see we are sending 17,000 more troops over seas, I think we're depleted of fresh troops here on the east coast and I see these brave souls are coming or going over from the West Coast. I know some of our local's who have been deployed 3, 4, and some going for their 5th deployment to Iraq.

I hope everyones week-end coming up is a great one.

Lets never forget our Military in our prayers and our show of support for our former Veterans!!!
