32. If you are watching others have "big social gatherings"

Fri Dec 25, 2020, 04:27 PM

Dec 2020

you are better off. This is not the year for it.

My sister who we see often anyway, arrived just before snow yesterday. They predicted 1'5", we got 5.5". We lost power for about 4 hours last night but stayed warm.

Today it is beautiful, sunny and in the 20s.

We rarely have a white Christmas in East TN. but then this is an unusual year.

My husband went out to check on the outdoor wood burning furnace last night at 10:45 when the power came back on...he came in talking about "Dr. Zhivago". I saw why this morning....everything covered in snow...everything.
