We had some more snow to enjoy over the weekend. It has a way of filling up your extra free time and a tiring you out quickly. This is our third measurable snow before Thanksgiving which will make a long winter. There is the comfort of a large wood pile not far from the fireplace. Spring will eventually save us from our ice-crusted world and we can bloom again.
While shoveling Saturday morning, I stepped on that little bubble of ice that had dripped from the car. It was quick, less than blink, then I was on my back. Stars were everywhere in the dark and it took a few minutes to figure out what had happened. Laying on the bricks, I checked body parts by moving them and the inventory was good. Rolling over with the grace of a wounded whale I was able to get to my feet. Thinking things were okay, I kept moving the few inches of snow on the remaining driveway. No problem, I felt pretty good, considering. Sunday morning was different, everything hurt. It took a lot to get moving. Monday was tolerable and by this weekend and it’s fresh snow I should be fine.
We are enjoying the week of family and friends with all the food you could want. It truly is a Thanksgiving for all the bounty and we are thankful. We wish you the best on this Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the comfort of family and friends.

One of the youth soccer coaches didn’t care much for my refereeing and had no problem letting me know it. Fed up, I politely threatened him with a send-off if he didn’t stop.
He calmed down, but an older woman took up where he’d left off. “You’d better control your sideline,” I warned the coach.
The coach turned to the woman and barked, “Knock it off, Mom!”
