Happy Friday. We got a fresh dusting of snow this week which was mostly welcome. If it’s going to be winter there might as well be snow, and we haven’t had much of it this year. There’s nothing better than looking out the windows of the addition and seeing fresh white powdery snow. We’ve been hibernating until we can (hopefully) get out of town for a warm weather getaway for a few days. I can almost feel the warm sun on my face and sand on my toes. Wishing all of you a great weekend.

Here’s the best of the week…
