News from K. Falls

And Hello to Everyone!
Okay, we have snow............lots of snow.............more predicted. Snowed at least a foot yesterday. It is not melting between storms so we have three-four feet right on the ground! When you look down our street, Marsh Hawk, you so not any cars, only huge mounds of snow. Most mornings either Ger or I get up and shovel around 5am; then we shovel and use a broom to get it off the car as it will've snowed another four inches before we leave for work! In 1982 when Bob built our home up on Ponderosa Dr it snowed 95" before it was over, but this time, thus far, we have no breaks. Remember that winter, Bob?! All schools closed most of this week, even govt offices, colleges and most businesses. Ger sits here every morning, talking with KCC people trying to figure out whether to close down or not. Like today, it's closed, but he, of course, goes in for a while. The snow...ha ha ha...is so high on our deck in the back that my view does not exist when sitting on the sofa; it's above the railing!! Just heard on news that MicroSoft is attempting a take-over of Yahoo and Alexander Tutunov of SOU is bringing two Chinese pianists to Medford at the Craeterian; we're going!!! Other news that you have time to read; ha ha We are moving to N.Albany home during Spring Break. After that, we'll spend as many weekends there as possible. It is officially finished Feb 16. Knowing our builder, it WILL be on that exact date. ha ha ha This just in: Ger had to break ice cicles before he could get off the porch.
Love to You All,
Beth
