It's snowing.    There is close to two inches on the ground.    I looked out the front and my neighbor's son and his girlfriend are in the front yard building a showman.   Glad that they still find that joy in their late teen years:)  :)    Worth a double smile.     The temperatures are hovering around freezing and the snow flakes vary from small to huge.    Putting me in the spirit but I am glad that it probably won't stay long.

Each day, I am working a little bit more on Christmas.   The main thing is to get the packages ready to mail next week or early the following.

Everybody can relax.   I made the buckeyes today.    Every year I think it will be the last because it is so time consuming an putsy but I know how well they are liked.

Went to Mass for the holy day (Feast of the Immaculate Conception) this evening.   I was on usher duty so quite busy.    A nice mass.

Today was the busiest day I have had in a long time.

Mass at 9:00AM at church, before Bible Study at 10:OOAM.  It was a good animated bible study, actually we are on a book study right now.  I brought scones and fudge for a treat.    Went over very well:)

One of our members does meals on wheels and offered me a bag of three meals if I wanted them.   I was delighted.   I will not have to cook for a week and have some variety.   What a kind gesture.   Living alone, I do get careless about cooking sometimes.

Late this afternoon, I took my car to the dealer for maintenance.   They got my tires back to good pressure and the warning light off and checked all the fluids and stuff for winter.   I had one filter replaced and should be good until next summer.   Yea.

My furnace is fixed.  It was batteries in the thermastat;   Who knew they had batteries.:)   Actually our Barbara asked me about that, but I didn't know.

Anyway, will know if it happens again.   He checked everything else out as long as he was here.

It is nice to be warm.    I was sure glad that I had that little electric heater.

Went grocery shopping and made fudge.   I added too much milk to the fudge so don't know how it will turn out.  I tried to compensate.   That should be quite a batch of fudge.

Went to the 8:30 Mass and came right home.   My thermistat "died" during the night and it is cold in my house.    I called American Shield, but they have been unable to get someone to come out on a Sunday.   I remembered that I have a space heater, so when a room gets too cold, I turn on the heater until it takes the chill off.   It is small and I am setting it on a tile so it is very safe.

Should hear first thing in the morning from some vendor that will help me.
