As you can see we have our winter greeter in our driveway, just as you start leave the township road into our driveway!

We enjoyed the company of Marorie and Dutchie, also tonight for a wonderful supper prepared by Crystalie. We have made it one of our holiday traditions to get together with our dear friend Marjorie, a retired school teacher who lives a little over a mile from the Wooden Nichols store. We both share many interests with Marjorie and she in her own right is a great cook also, and we have enjoyed some nice meals at her home located on the north shore of Mille Lacs Lake.

We enjoyed, homemade pumpkin soup, with an olive bread, and also broccoli with a butter red pepper topping, baked salmon, with smashed potatoes and parsnips. we enjoyed dessert later, a peppermint ice cream with a small junk of candy cane, and also a small cookie with it. Along with some wine, and some coffee, and also Crystalie and Marjorie enjoyed a small glass of Chocolate Wine.

We exchanged our gifts and enjoyed the time to visit and catch up on things going on in each others lives. Thank you Marjorie and Dutchie!

We had a partly sunny day and it was in the high 20's and the roads cleaned up nicely this afternoon considering we had a bunch of snow 2 days ago!
