Miscellany

I would like you to see the new angel of 2020. My friend, who still goes to "Our Beach" in SC, creates and sends me a hand-made angel or another Christmas tree ornament every year. This year she made this darling little shell angel. I have a wonderful collection of her annual gifts. (The annual cookie/candy assortment is now gone!)

Below shows a few from the past that she has made.

Now the next piece of news is that the deer at our daughter's home are very evident. Her son and his partner went to help shovel/plow/clean out the snow around their home and she shared these photos. The road had not been plowed very well as they passed through from the hillside and down into her yard for a drink from the pond behind the house. There were many more shown throughout the day. Deer hunting season is over and the survivors are now the hunters for their sustenance. We have tracks all over in the snow beside and behind our cabin as well. 

Even though the Mister did most of the cleaning out of the snow, we still had to have our lawn/yard man come and continue with the work with his ability to use the snow shovel so well. He is a school teacher but schools are closed today so he will be finishing work at several other places around here today.

We remember when the personal snow-plowing jobs were a part of our lives for so many years. Actually it was an essential supplement for our family income and we depended on it!  Remembering back, the Mister was a heavy equipment operator working for the County Road Department and was a very competent driver of large snow plow vehicles 1964-1969.
