Look, snow happened in my home town…

Snow

“Paxton saw its first snowfall of the season around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, although there was no measurable accumulation.”  Photo from the Paxton Record.

This is what was happening in my hometown yesterday.  I think I am feeling a tiny bit nostalgic.  LOL  Not for snow, never for snow, but the thought ran through my mind that In 50 years I have driven up and down that main street thousands of times.  But then, you can never go home again.   I feel like that poor little robin walkin’ to Missouri, got a tear drop in my eye.

I didn’t do much today, a load of laundry and then a visit to Aldi’s and to Kroger where I purchased a ham and turkey for  the freezer.  I found out  last year that the turkeys are not on sale around here at Christmas, only at Thanksgiving time.  I will plan a big meal for when my son comes home next month.

My daughter and son in law took me out for supper tonight to the Rendezvous in Creve Coeur.  I had shrimp and it was very good.  Thanks guys!

Just an update to let you all know I am here, tipping my hat to all of the veterans, old and young, and thanking them for the sacrifices they make serving our country.  Have a peaceful weekend.  stay safe and be happy!
