Well, here it comes! It started drifting down flurries a little after 3pm. It’s so very cold – I mind that more than the snow. Not looking forward to shoveling out over the next two days.
Mary & I didn’t expect to have any students in Sunday school this morning, but we did! A lovely little five-year-old named Grace, who is very smart, a soft-spoken chatter box, and loves to do crafts. We enjoyed having her and hoping she comes back every week. Her family comes to Church but usually not Sunday School. Maybe since the service times have changed they will all come for Sunday school. After church Mary & I had breakfast at Eat-n-Park. I liked the tee-shirts the servers wore. We should all adopt that for ourselves.
Since I didn’t have to make lunch, I came home and changed and went outside to sweep out the car and wipe the dash and the mats. It was SO COLD! I was going to clean the windows but lost my nerve. So after I got the car back inside I decided to bake chocolate chip cookies. I did them a little different and they did turn out well. In the freezer they go!
If you have to go out, please be safe. Stay in if you can. Be smart and cautious!
January 16th – Tell a fond memory of your Grandpa. (Grandpap Eakman) “I only knew one Grandpa. We all (cousins) called him Grandpap. He was a farmer & had ‘big’ work horses. Once in a while he would put us up on the horse’s back & lead the horse around the barn yard. It felt like I was on top of the world. Uncle Jim looks just like our Grandpap. Tells stories like Grandpap did.”
Calendar inspiration for today is from Peanuts:
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Muskoka Lake in Gravenhurst, Ontario Canada. This was were the Smails’ two summer cottages were located. They went up starting in May or June, and closed up in September or October. Although I saw plenty of pictures, and heard lots of stories (Bud was REALLY GOOD at telling stories, most of them funny!), I was never there. Things to see or do at Muskoka Lake are Gravenhurst Harbor, Lake Joseph, Water Skiing, boating, parties on the docks, Summer games, waterfalls, hiking, islands, Sunsets, fall foliage. And Bud would say, the bars!

TOMORROW January 17th is:

Tomorrow is also ‘shovel your walks and driveway’ day – unofficial, of course. It’s on my list! I plan to make vegetable soup, too. My ultimate goal is to get to work on Tuesday! Have a safe and happy day! God bless…
