winter is coming!

I'm thinking of Laura today and being thankful that I live now and that we have all the information collecting and disseminating equipment and knowledge that we have. What a difference it would have made to those of DeSmet during that "long winter". And it makes me wonder if this is an indication of things to come? It's also a little exciting! a real, bonified blizzard!!!! I haven't experienced one of those for a very long time........makes me want to build a fire in the stove and curl up with some stitching or a book. I hope you all are safe and snuggled in for the storm...........and that your loved ones are too. Michelle just called. Snow has cancelled classes the rest of today so the students can get home before the storm--hopefully. And thankfully, she's on her way and will make it. I hope you have a wonderful day of Thanksgiving with your loved ones. We have so much to be thankful for............. by the way, if you haven't read this book you should! .........and I'm going to get some pictures on here soon..........life has been crazy!!!!
