And it kept snowing!

We got more snow last week. On the 13th we got hit with around 8 inches. WOW! The railing tells the tale.

And then it turned sleety. B went out to snow blow and did a great job - and then there was more snow so we still had to dig out.

Just the other day we got snow then sleet then snow. AGAIN!!

Well, we are now in a "warming" trend. Up here that means that today it was up to 32 with the sun out. But not too much melted. The SUV is filthy again.. and it wasn't warm enough for B to clean it.

We went to Sam's today to get some fish (frozen) for our Christmas Eve family party here. It is a family tradition that B's family does NOT eat meat on Christmas Eve! When his mom passed, we took over the Christmas Eve get together. Fish is not a favorite thing for the family to eat. I had salmon last year along with talapia and breaded cod and flounder. The salmon was a flop - cod and flounder was good and so was the talapia. Well, this year we are trying some new things. It will be breaded cod and fish sticks. We had tasted the fish sticks and they were really good. And, not too big. So, people who don't like fish can slather them in cocktail sauce and really not taste the fish! "sounds like a plan".
I'm also going to make vegetarian chili with black beans. I know everyone likes chili so it should be a go. Then there will be shrimp and scallops and the family brings things too so there is no concern that we won't have enough food! The only question is... WHAT WILL THEY LIKE AND WHAT WILL THEY NOT EAT?????
Dessert should be good - I'm making chocolate chip sour cream cake (thank you Doris) and Ron's bring pie and I'm not sure what else will arrive. Kim usually makes cookies and I'm sure there will be some other things.
The house is ready - the tree up the presents wrapped and bowed and mostly clean (need to do some last minute things over the weekend)

And so we more toward the end of December. And we still like it here!!!
