Mardi Gras Is Over



Yes, snow, please stop!

  • Bill W. said the almanac predicts the BIGGEST storm yet in early March, about 40 inches. Folks almost threw coffee and napkins at him.
  • Gladys is driving by herself to Gilchrist to see Jacque. She is making arrangements to bring him home. Meanwhile, the hospital called her to schedule radiation treatments.......don't know how she is handling all of this, but she sounds well.
  • Schools reopen 2 hours late today, but there are few shoveled walks. Just too deep and nowhere to put all of the snow. Be safe, everyone.
