Dupont:

With strong hope of leaving for Beaver in the morning. Everything ready but the food - which is most everything in the frig!

No more wood has come up to deck due to snowing, and snow and low energy. Watched a couple very good Oprah interviews yesterday, a nice break from checking posts on FB, for which I have about reached my limit. Too many friends with nothing to say so scrolling for naught. I may take some - a bunch!- off my lists so I only see them if they happen to pop up.   Email problem is cleared up, thanks to Apple and Whidbey Telecom. Still cannot get phone to talk to computer. Did a screen shot today and messaged it to son asking for help! None yet.

Sour cream sounds a good idea. I shall put it on the list. Did not make it to produce store so we will have to live with what we have. Not taking any chili with me. Fav bakery along the way is not offering any of our favs so we may only stop and say hello! They close for Jan but I think we may survive on what is in freezer. The apricot cake was good and could work with other fruits.

Broke diet badly today - cookies for first time in many months. Hope trip to the country will help my state of mind and, hence, diet.

Pottery is selling at Carriage House so I am encouraged to make more when energy arises. Also phone rang at 9 am today - my phone never rings! The woman who bought a bunch early in the fall called to wish me happy holiday; she will email me about what she might like in the future!

Hoping tomorrow's predicted "snow flurries" are negligible!
