So Saturday the 11th was the blizzard; all last week it stayed cold. Then last night, we got a few more inches of snow, that changed to freezing rain. Now it’s about about 32 degrees, and seems like we’re getting all set to have the same kind of grey, slushy Christmas we had last year. Yuck.

I’m getting a few random emails that the cookie boxes have made their way to their destinations – one really nice one from Lea,with all the cookies in their baggies spread out on her table; so nice for me to know that they arrived still in cookie form, and not as bags of crumbs. Cookie trays and cartons have been delivered to folks here in town.
I have 10 more papers to grade, for my 30-student course. I have to do the students’ final evaluations, and submit grades for that course, plus do the same for a 6-student independent study, then I’ll be on Christmas vacation. I expect this will occur at about 4:00ish on Thursday afternoon. My boss is having a cocktail party – I’m going to take some artichoke quichettes.
So now I can start thinking about Christmas dinner – we’re talking pork roast, sweet sour red cabbage, potato-celeriac mash, and cookies and creme caramel for dessert. And then of course, there’s new years.
