Hi Marilyn, Guess we humans are a funny lot in that when we would like some snow there isn't any, and when we don't really want anymore we get a Nor'Easter or some other big storm. Go figure! LOL ;)

Enjoy the wknd everyone+be safe. Carol
Hi Carol,
Guess we are funny regarding the white stuff. Would like some pictures with something Amish or Old Order Mennonite to put on for the top of the post for winter. After that I don't care if we ever had snow again. LOL
Glad you like Jean's cookies
You enjoy the weekend and be safe, too,
Marilyn
