News For the Week of January 7, 2015

There were snow flurries here most of the day Sunday and I really do enjoy watching it snow, as long as it doesn't pile up. Only two and a half months until spring. Seems like the blink of an eye anymore. I used to dread winter so much and it is still my least favorite season but the older I get the faster time seems to pass so I won't gripe about it so much.

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration and gathering of our family and friends and hope you did too. I haven't taken my decorations down yet. I used to wait until school started up and the kids went back to school but now I don't have any kids in school and my little grandbabies like it so no telling when I'll put it all away!

Lindsay Marsh had a wonderful birthday surprise last week. She came out of a student teacher meeting at C of O and there in the parking lot waiting for her was a new car! She was very happy and thankful her parents got her a car. Lindsay's birthday was last Sunday and she turned twenty two.
