So, like we expected, snow came early to Maine, and a good dose too! Not to worry! I was actually prepared this year. Snow-pants, sleds and boots were at the ready! Kids have been sledding a few times now, and we have two super hills to chose from. One we had seen this summer and were waiting for this opportunity. The other was suggested to us by our new friends Scott (not my Scott), Yevah and Zabel. What a hill! Feels like you could shoot right into the ocean! It took real courage to aim the sled downward and let go.
This month is running on high speed...as usual. The Merrimac Christmas Parade was canceled this year due to rain, but we still had a fantastic visit with Gammy and Gampy. Kids helped decorate their house and tree for the holidays. We are looking forward to an overnight visit from my parents this Friday. They are headed north to see the kids art work in a show that Friday evening. We are all excited. My guess is that the next time I add to this Santa will have come, and all the hustle and bustle will have simmered down a bit.
