We have been busy the past month with a visit to the Irish Hills area to visit with Rick and Jan Bolling and compare notes on winter travelling. We will meet with them in Florida at Everglades National Park for a couple of weeks. We also went to Manistee for a Christmas festival that they sponsor each year. It was c-c-c-cold standing outside and watching the parade in the 15 degree weather, but the street was very crowded and the mood was jovial. A nice parade with horses, bands, and Santa. We also picked up a Christmas tree and are getting everything decorated for the holiday.
We are expecting all of the Michigan kids and grandkids to be here for Christmas, but David and Elizabeth will not be able to make it.
The weather is much cooler than last year and we have not been much above twenty degrees since late November. The snow falls a little each day and we have had snow on the ground since before Thanksgiving. Right now we have close to 12 inches of accumulation.
Nancy and I both continue to work a few days here and there, but nowhere near as much as during the summer tourist season.
I hope everyone is well and enjoying the countdown to the Christmas holiday and the new year!
Early season snow. We have a foot on the ground now.

Merry Christmas to all!
