Winter arrives
From where I sit and type, this is what I can see...it's a little snow and a lot of quiet. I love it. Well I don't have to work in it or drive in it...after all I have to do is watch it with a cup of coffee. What could be better? A few moments. Remembering Christmas past when cousins would come to visit, Mom would have fruitcake and tangerines (still my favorite fruit because to me they smell like Christmas)...and there was homemade root beer. But for sure the best part was the waiting for the company to arrive! Sometimes we knew someone was coming...other times it was a surprise. Did it really matter? It was a couple weeks of holiday. Then the tree came down, the decorations boxed up.....
