Had a snowy trip up to Wausau for a visit with my mother. She had baked coffee cake and donuts again. The aroma was great coming in from driving through blowing snow. It started to snow here as we left oh Thursday. Since"the snow was coming from the south we started early so as to get ahead of the worst of it. There were 17 inches of it at Madison. There were a lot of people who had gone to the basketball tournament at Madison, who were snowbound. The blowing snow was fierce, like a mountain of blowing snow on the highway. One could not tell what was coming until just about on top of a car or truck. A couple of snowmobiles went through the ice up therCwhere the lake was breaking up. On our way home it was not too bad. Spring ought to be arriving soon. Fred Klewitz, 4503 Sussex, had surgery at the McHenry hospital. Hope he will be home soon. He has big ideas of a pretty garden coming up.
