A Taste of Winter

My brother in law drove me down the shore today so that I could bring Mom's car up here. I also brought a table top artificial tree completely lighted up with me. I've put it on the desk in the living room. Naturally, the cats were intrigued by it. Sandy crawled under it and knocked it over. I ran across the room to catch it before it hit the floor. He and Coco are napping now and hopefully have forgotten about the tree.
After I returned with Mom's car, I shoveled my own car out of the icy, crusty, snow which covered it. That wasn't an easy task. I couldn't open the driveside door because it was frozen shut. So, I got into the passenger side, reached over to start the car and 20 minutes later the car was warm enough so the driver's door could be opened. I had to move the car so that the parking spot could be plowed. We're expecting more snow tonight so it'll be more of the same tomorrow.
On Monday the weather will be good. Therefore, I'll go to the grocery store to purchase all the perishables for our Christmas dinner. I'll also have to make a stop at a local bookstore to pick up a gift for Mom to give. The corner drugstore is on my list of stops that day also. Mom needs another gift for someone else.
If I can fit it in I'll go to the dollar store to buy some larger gift bags. I've heard that they're a real bargain there compared to other stores.
They're predicting a wet Christmas Eve. Rain I suppose. It'll be too warm for snow which is a good thing for all the people who need to travel on Christmas Eve. Here's hoping that everyone has safe travels and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year.
