A Winter Wonderland and Pics!

We're having a rare December where were actually having snow/ice. Last week we had some snow and then it quickly turned to freezing rain. That lasted for a day and a half and, unfortunately, there was lots and lots of tree damage. Luckily my place was fine but my neighbors had lots of large branches down in their yards. A week later we have had more snow! This time we got three inches instead of just a skiff and NO freezing rain!!! But it's going to be COLD, for this area anyway. :) Friday morning is supposed to be 19* and Saturday morning is supposed to be 16*. It's been a long time since it's been that cold!!

Business wise things are very, very busy. I've hired another college student that's taking accounting. I really think she's going to work out quite well! So between the two of them I should start seeing some relief next year. I can't wait!!! I did find out that I have 75 clients!! Yay!!!

I got my passport a couple of weeks ago!! Amazingly enough it only took 2 weeks!! It's off to the Philippines I go next year. It's been a dream of mine for a long time to go there! My aunt will be coming back with me. The plan is to have my employees trained to do the basics by the time I leave!!

Christina time here is getting very short! Only 2 1/2 weeks left! She'll be in the Burns/LaGrand area come the end of January. So really, she's getting a bit of a taste of the weather she'll see there!! She's got to test her suitcase a couple of times this last week! So far so good as far as I know!:)

The girls love this tweety book!
