Valley fog over the Wenatchee &
Columbia rivers.

A rimed spider's web.

Looks like a wolf to me.

Wednesday 12/26. Some serious snow began to fall a little after 8:00 am.  Not the usual tiny flakes, but big lazy ones.  The forecast is calling for only 1"-2" today, so I think we're good for our journey down to the Gridder's.

JB has been having some issues with his right shoulder lately, as have I, but at our age, if nothing hurts when we get up in the morning, we would think we were dead. . .

We had received 1-1/2" inches of snow by 10:30 am and we were on our way down to the Gridder's in Miss Kitty about 11:30 am.  Was going to pick up the mail, but I had forgotten the key, so I just sent outgoing mail.

Mrs. Gridder's parents had had a rough time getting up the road to the Gridder's place.  Just about 100 feet from the driveway, they had to back up quite a ways to a place they could park their truck.  Mrs. Gridder drove down in her 4-wheel-drive rig to get them and even she had a bit of a problem.  But they were all in the house when we arrived, with wild stories to tell.  We had such a great time, as usual.  It was very hard to say goodbye and leave.  

Snow had stopped falling and our drive back up the mountain was beautiful and uneventful.  Such a wonderful day.

Thursday 12/27. Our 49th wedding anniversary began with a temp of 24 and clear skies.  We had received another 1/2" of snow after JB measured at 10:30 am yesterday.

I went back to bed after breakfast for another hour of sleep.  Must have had too much fun yesterday.

We changed the card in the game cam on our way back up yesterday and looked at the photos this morning.  Only one deer and what sure looks like a wolf, which may be the reason there was only one deer. . .

I am planning to go Down There tomorrow for a few groceries and to pick up the radio/cd player I ordered with my Christmas money from our son.

We enjoyed a quiet day, with a high of 30 and lots of sunshine.

Friday 12/28. It is 22/20 this morning with mostly clear skies, I think.  Sometimes it is hard to tell as dawn arrives.

Thought for the day: The United States was supposed to have a limited government because the founders knew government power attracts demagogues and despots as surely as horse manure attracts flies.  Rick Gaber
