Bizzard Backyard

My family where there is no snow think it would be wonderful to come play in this snow.

My family who are here are out shoveling the driveway.

Merry Christmas

This was a very pleasant morning.  Just the stocking and core family gifts.  The major gathering is tomorrow.  That will be fun.  This was pleasant.  They are different in subtle ways with neither being better, but more appropriate to the time, place and people.

The gist of the matter, this is a holiday, last year, I didn’t know if I would make or not.  I am so happy I did.

Love is good.  Don’t waste it!!!

Hogmanay!!!

Boom! December!!

My friend, the highly talented M. F. Conklin is sharing on Facebook the horror story of her returning from a holiday in the country to find her city apartment without heat or hot water.

"On the Fritz" New Yorkers say.

Anyone have the origin, of the fritz phrase not my dear Friend's freezing.

Around the same time we found water in the basement laundry of our most New England shack.

At first we thought it water coming up from the ground.  We checked the pits wherein lay our sump pumps. (plural)

Amazingly dry.

Further investigation found the water to be coming from under the wall dividing the laundry from the boiler room.

We were hoping it was a leak from the water heater.  Nope....
