FREEZE!It certainly is a winter wonderland, and I for one, am absolutely loving it! After my first two winters in PA being complete duds, this one holds some promise! Unfortunately, the temperature wasn't the only thing to freeze this weekend as we canceled our Outreach, Sunday morning program, AND our Christmas Party :( No worries, it's Christmas and there's snow on the ground!! or those missed Crazy Bingo, bring your wrapped gifts out to our New Year's Lock In!!
I ask for traveling mercies this weekend as my dad and three younger brothers drive out to Chicago to see the Bulls and Bears play...
And wouldn't you know it? Snow in the forecast...
