This will be a quiet New Year’s Eve on Stauffer. Dennis used the snow rake and took off a huge amount of snow from the garage and porch roofs and the awnings. There is nothing as shocking as being the one that is on his way out of the house, banging the door behind them, shaking loose all the snow over the back door.

Dennis is resting. I am about to make supper with the wonderful left over hotdish from yesterday. Dennis used some chunked pork roast from the freezer with Alfredo sauce, frozen peas and wide egg noodles. Good eating.

I hope everyone will stay as safe as possible this evening. I doubt very much that Dennis and I will make it to the stroke of midnight, but we know we are going to have a great 2016.
