The tree is down, the ornaments packed and returned to their storage place for another year. This past weekend I took the lights off the end of the garage. Christmas 2012 is over.<\/p>\n

Now, back to a regular work schedule. Pam is beginning her busiest time of the year at her job, and my fiscal year began January 1st so I’m getting my 2013 work projects under way. I wish I could report something more exciting in our lives, but there just isn’t anything real interesting going on!<\/p>\n

We would like to thank all the people who wrote letters, e-mails, and dropped by the blog this season, and hope you will continue to do more of the same throughout 2013. Pam and I appreciate hearing from all of you.<\/p>\n

Taking up a thread from my last post, it is still very cold and additional snow is in the forecast. Sub-zero low temps and high temps below freezing for the last 3 weeks or so have been the norm. Average high for this time of year is 37, low 16, so we have been running 16 – 22 degrees below average. I am not looking forward to our next heating bill!<\/p>\n

Judy: Your fudge is great. I ate the whole pan over the last 3 weeks. Thank you! Can you get DTs (withdrawal symptoms) \u00a0from lack of chocolate?<\/p>\n

Hard to believe next month will mark the start of year 3 of this blog. Sometimes the words come easily, sometimes \u00a0with more difficulty. I hope you continue to stop by and leave feedback.<\/p>\n

Pam says I can’t have a post without at least 1 picture in it, so here is a fall color shot of a park near work where I walk at lunch from time to time:<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
