Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed shopping. The snowfall there sounds really pretty. No snow where I am today just still very cold around 13. You received some nice Christmas cards from friends and your gift of soup in a jar looks good. Glad you feel better and enjoyed going to dollar tree. Thanks for all my nice hugs today Enjoy your movie Hugs to everyone-Stephanie
Hi Chris So glad that you had a great time shopping for a whole bunch of goodies. John and I stayed home today. It was really snowing here today so we thought it best just to stay put and not attempt to go out on the roads. We woke up to a real winter wonderland this morning. It is still very cold here. I think we are all pretty much getting the same cold artic blast all over New England states. Mya and Abby don't like the cold and we haven't gone for a walk the last couple of mornings. It was to cold for them and also for me. I just take them out to do their business and then we come back in the house.
Football and more football. We are looking forward to the professional games tomorrow but also are enjoying the college games. John is watching the Orange Bowl right now. Penn State won the Fiesta Bowl and we were glad for that. Take care and have a great evening. Love you and enjoy having you for a friend. John Debbie Mya Allie and Abby
