Dear Friends,

Still not much snow up in Vermont but I do see a little dusting on the lawn on Prickly when I look at the webcam. Artie took advantage of the artificial snow up on Sugarbush and his “ski” clause in his employment agreement to get a few runs in this week. It was a very mild November and December is also mild. I definitely would have extended my motorcycling season this year if I was in Vermont. Motorcycling down here is a 12-month affair but a lot more boring – there is really only one road for about 100 miles.

It is funny how my grandkid’s Christmas lists mature over the years. They have gone from asking for the latest game, toy or doll to much more practical stuff. My oldest teenage granddaughter, Khadija, had the following on her list: bed spread, house plants, tea, yarn and knitting needles, banana bread, stuff I need for college & anything from the heart.
