The wind is blowing like a chorus of muttering old men, low whispering voices sing their song. I like it. I took Chelsea out to potty earlier and the wind gave us a hug and swooped down and whispered in my ear.
I went out and ran around and did my crazy pre-Christmas shopping thing. Do you do this? I think I need to buy more, but I can't exactly say for whom and I go to this store and that just looking. I bought one more gift for the Bee tonight. Lawsy, she has plenty of gifts from this Grandma, that is for sure.
I work tomorrow and our office party is tomorrow night and then on Saturday morning I will head out bright and early.
First I will drive to Durham, NC to see my son and his girlfriend and her family and my dear friend since high school - Laura P. Then on the 26th I will drive on up to Baltimore to see the Bee and her Mama/Mommy. I will stay with them until Sunday and then head home. A lot of driving, but I'm o.k. with it. I'm going alone because we couldn't find anyone to babysit this farm and the two cats, Corgi and 23 chickens.
I'm about ready to kiss this old year good riddance - are you? It has been a tough year on one hand and on another hand the blessings have been bountiful. I am sad to see the year of Paris end. (And be on the last page of my Paris calendar.)
2013 will be a better year, I'm sure of it. Lucky 2013.
I'm hauling my laptop along, so who knows? Maybe you'll hear from me while I'm on the road. Stay warm, stay dry and count your blessings. Take a tip from the wind and hug your loved ones a little tighter. xo

We had a blast from old man winter yesterday. That heavy wet snow that brings down power lines. Luckily we kept power. Have safe travels.

Be careful on the road. The weather sounds frightful.
Merry Christmas and May the New Year bring you and your family many blessings.
Up here in Huntington we were happy to see the snow, but a little disappointed we didn't get a delay yesterday. Weeman's only complaint is there's not quite enough for his Big Big snowman he wants to build. I love winter, and hope we get a little more. Christmas isn't Christmas without snow on the ground. Plus there's nothing better than curling up under a warm afghan with a few good books!
Was happy to see on FB that you have arrived and are enjoying the evening with Bradley. You have lots of wonderful plans and the best is yet to BEE.
Here's wishing you a great year just as you have predicted.
