A FEW SMALL SNOW DRIFTS WERE BEGINNING TO FORM

It was the orange sunrise on this cold December morning that finally pulled me out of the house.  I fired up the Subaru and took a slow drive around our Park before heading out into the snowy countryside.  I sure miss my furry little navigator.

So nice to see patches of blue sky casting shadows on the snow as I slowly rolled through the countryside.  A few cows here, a few horses there.  Not many vehicles out and about which lulled me into thinking it was Sunday.  Not sure when it was that the reality of Friday finally jolted me out of my lulling.

 HEADING HOME

Later, with a prescription to drop off at the Walmart Pharmacy, Lorraine and I headed off to Goderich.  A stiff southwest breeze caused a slight ground drift of loose snow across Porter's Hill line, but it was not enough to cause any concern.  By the time we headed home about an hour and a half later, a few small snowdrifts were beginning to form along the west side of the road.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Larry, a computer programmer for a consulting group, had designed some software for a large account. He asked John for his help in putting it into operation.  At first, Larry handled most of the work. Eventually, though, he asked John to help with the last phase of the training.When John sat down with one woman and told her he would be   showing her how to make changes to the files, she sighed with relief.   "I'm so glad you're teaching me instead of him," she said.  Surprised, John said that his colleague was far more experienced than he was.  "Yes," she said. "But I feel much more comfortable with you. I get nervous around really smart people."

Alfie was listening to his sister practice her singing. "Sis," he said, "I wish you'd sing Christmas carols because then I'd only have to hear your voice once a year!"
