It was smashed in a door six weeks ago and finally has started healing properly. Snow, Snow the Beautiful Snow We certainly had our share of it last week, and plenty for the ice carnival. Many men stayed over night in-the city and those who did manage to get home still had to leave their cars blocks away from home. Some lucky ones made it to their driveways and had to shovel their way in and the next morning shovel their way out. Drifted roads were a hazard to many and also cars parked on the roadside. The children thought it.was just great with the school closed for two days. There is always a bright side to any situation, we could move to California or hibernate until spring. The roads were cleared of the snow as soon as possible and soon everyone was getting in and out without hardly any trouble at all. We are glad to hear that Terry Phillips is coming along fine and feeling in good spirits. His progress is steadily increasing and everyone is pulling for him.
