My neighbor is snow blowing his yard...the winds are quite strong so he is working hard not to look like a snowman!
This photo I took from my truck on Sunday morning as I was driving down the street next to ours. There are people walking if you look carefully you can see a blur past the stop sign. I only decided to go out so I could see how much damage was done to John and Kathy Civelleo's home from the fire the evening before.
As you can see in this picture, they lost both of their vehicles and the garage. It was also stated that they lost all their belongings, from furniture to clothing. They were both at home when the fire started, but it had a big head start before the fire department was called. They tried to call 911, but the phone kept disconnecting, so one of our policemen were sent to see what the problem was...when he got there it was a fully involved fire! John and Kathy both were safe, but shaken. They are staying with his mother. You can see more photos at www.ourmainecommunity.com Click on Katahdin chat and then "terrible fire". The area has responded with many gifts and money to help them through this terrible time.

Monday I went to camp and plowed the road in and out and our yard. It was hard moving due to the sleet we got towards the end of the storm. Glad to be living in town and not having to get up and plow during the night when we have these big storms. It makes it a lot easier to move when you do it a few times while its snowing instead of waiting until its done and a lot of it to move!
Today I started wrapping my Christmas gifts to go with us Friday. Since DH has to work Christmas Day we will be having our Christmas on Saturday. We will come home on Sunday and DH will have to work Christmas Eve also. First time in many years he's had to work Christmas. Oh well, Sarah is too small to know the difference, so we will enjoy out time with them!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
KNIT ON!
