We didn’t get the big snowstorm that was predicted last week. They said we were to get about a foot of snow but we only got about 3 or 4 inches and a little ice. The roads were a little slippery in spots for a little while. By the weekend, temperatures were a little warmer, in the upper twenties.
The bright sunshine on Sunday did help to melt some of the snow on the sides of the road. There was a stream of water running down the side of the road. What a welcome sight.

Tuesday was a day of baking. I made three pies that day. One of them was for my brother-in-law Bruce. For Christmas I gave him a book of 10 coupons. Each coupon was good for one homemade pie made by me. He cashed one in last week for a pumpkin pie.
I gave another coupon book to our son-in-law, Paul, but he hasn’t cashed any in yet. It’s a great way to spread Christmas throughout the year.

Merilyn Clinger returned home on Tuesday last week after spending two weeks with her daughter and her family in Colorado Springs, Colo.
I spent part of Thursday balancing the checkbook and paying bills. What fun! At about four o’clock our grandkids came to our house for a few hours. I always have a craft project for them when they come. I had some little wooden boxes that I had purchased at Ames, many years ago, which the kids painted and decorated with pictures and beads. We also had a snack and watched some TV while they were here. We had a good time.

Our Sunday family meal was at our son’s house. Monty picked out our meal — hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries. I brought an apple cake with whipped cream for dessert.
Steve and I both went up to the ER Saturday afternoon. Steve has a broken big toe so he is wearing what they call a boot on that foot to keep the pressure off the toe. I had my left arm looked at. They think I have rotator cuff tendinitis. They prescribed some medicine, and hopefully it will get better. It is very painful when I move it certain ways.

Last reminder that town meeting in Waterville has been moved to June 8 at 10 a.m. On March 2, however, there will be an in-person voting on the school budget at the town hall from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
A happy birthday goes to Brian Towle and Charlie Erickson, both on Feb. 28.
Have a great week everyone. Don’t get discouraged; spring will be here before you know it.
