I guess the big snow—the first in 2017—was a big topic of conversation.
It was pretty on the trees—so fluffy. All this snow made me think of my neighbor and friend, Marilyn. She loved snow.
Thanks to kind neighbors, I made it okay. My neighbors are wonderful, the best ever!
I really enjoyed my breakfast at the Disaster Relief fund-raiser. The food was really country eating and so delicious. Sorry that Providence United Methodist Church had to cancel their first of the month breakfast because of snow on Saturday.
The Patrick Springs Pentecostal Holiness Church Food Ministry has had a good year and helped a lot of people. Our yearly total of people signing in was 8,346, counting the people in the households was an outstanding number of 22,640. We are so thankful that food has been supplied for this ministry. Thank you for your help.
This was a big snow, but nothing like a few years ago when snow went on the rooftop and blocked the entire front of the store. They shoveled a walkway to the store and we opened—couldn’t see out the windows at all. We became a big attraction and people make photos—but we all survived. It was the best job I ever had, working for Poor Farmer. Lots of memories I’ll never forget.
Love and prayers to our new-found friend, Lester Harris.
Neighbor Brian Ratliff has a really neat tractor. It was his grandfather’s and it looks like new now. I’ll have a photo of it soon.
I’m really enjoying my snowman lantern that Mae Mabe gave me for Christmas. The scene inside is so cheerful.
The snow came and then went away the fastest I ever saw snow melt. After the southern winds came, it was gone overnight.
