HAPPY HOLIDAYS

                          Happy Holidays

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas night with my son it was a wonderful visit but I was feeling horrible and was running a fever. Today is much better. I decided I would just stay in my P.J's all day and relax, and that I did. I must say "I am feeling 100% better," sometimes we just need to slow down.

The ski-area is in full swing. I've chose not to work much at the mountain this winter. maybe I'll be doing a little sking (Grin) Anyone who knows me well knows it's hard to get those skis on my feet, don't get me wrong I love to ski, I grew up living at the mountain(Because my family owned it) but as I get older I hate the cold. These days a nice warm fire and a cup of hot cider is what I enjoy.

The chickens and turkeys are still keeping me busy. Egg production is way down because our days are so short. The week before Christmas I actually had to buy eggs at the store. Please don't tell my husband as feed is still costing about $15 a week, and turkeys? yes we still have turkeys, I kept three of a breed that are able to reproduce but it seems you need to have at least one female in order for this to happen. Guess what? I have three toms so the freezer will soon be there resting place.

We are expecting a big snowstorm starting tomorrow going into Friday so I will need to get up early, get to town to check on my grandparents then home to snuggle in to a nice warm home for a couple days. I just love being stuck at home in a snowstorm, a couple more days to rest(smile) 12 to 14 inches is expected in this storm. Maybe I'll do a little cooking.

Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season with friends and family. I'm looking forward to 2013.

Happy New Year and God Bless You and Your Families
