A Prairie Home Companion

Saturday afternoon we headed east to attend the Prairie Home Companion show. 

It was fun to be there, but I remember more audience participation and speciality segments when I attended a number of years ago.  Nonetheless, it was a good time and the 2.15 hours flew by!

 

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

This weekend was the coldest on record for decades!  Single digits in Prescott and into the 20's in Phoenix.  We're anticipating another (at least) 2 nights of these temperatures.  We hope not to loose too many shrubs and trees.

Ice in the fountain at 10:30 Sunday morning

We also had a nice visit with an old friend from back east.  What a shame he was here for the cold weather.

Snowy Maryland

We certainly had a white Christmas with the family when we headed home for New Years!  Lois picked us up at the airport on Saturday and we made it to Phebe's where Mom and Dad met us for a lovely supper.  The snow had already begun in earnest by that time and continued off and on for the rest of the time there.  So many fun activities!

We were all on our way to church when they were cancelled one after another due to the weather.
