I hope everyone especially the children have enjoyed the snow. As for me, I will be happy if we don’t get anymore white stuff this winter. I have to remember to slow down when crossing bridges and watch for patches of ice on the highways. However, if you don’t have to get out and go to work or other places, I guess it is somewhat pretty and fun to play in, at least my little dog thinks so. I am looking forward to spring and I wish that the ground hog had not seen his shadow
