<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Who'd've thought we'd start December with snow this morning? (I guess
that was to convince us of the fact that it actually is December
already.) I was all ready for work and then looked out the window to
see white flakes falling and almost declared a snow day. (After being
on my own schedule all last week, somehow the novelty of getting up
really early again wasn't as exciting as you might think it should be.
I guess the fact that it wasn't sticking at all was the only thing that
talked me out of it.) <br>
<br>
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break. Ours was pretty
peaceful and uneventful until about yesterday. You know how when
someone is learning to drive, they tease them and tell everyone to stay
off the sidewalks? I figured out yesterday that's just for "city
folks". Us country people need to stay out of the ditches. We
investigated one yesterday when my daughter who just got her permit a
week or so ago was driving to her friend 's house and didn't quite make
the corner. We were not hurt, she's just embarrassed, and there's a
piece or two of the front bumper of my station wagon that flaps in the
breeze when we're driving now, but we lived to tell about it. A nice
young couple stopped to check on us and then a boy my daughter knows
from high school stopped and with them pushing, we were able to get the
car out of the ditch. I really hope I thanked them for their help, but
you know how it is when something happens like that. You can't really
remember what you did or said afterwards. Boy, life with teenagers,
(especially teenage drivers), sure is interesting!<br>
<br>
Our dish room guy, Charlie Langford, celebrated a birthday on Mon. Nov.
24 and Barbara Gilbertson and I celebrated ours right on Thanksgiving
day this year. <br>
<br>
Don't forget about the blood drive in the East Cafeteria today and
tomorrow. Come donate and save a life. (With my daughter driving now,
we need all the donations we can get, just in case!)<br>
