Not too much good news....

But I got to thinking about the winters in Idaho and Washington. It was really fun as children to use our sleds and go flying down some hill only to fall off into the soft white snow! Then as I got older there were the sleigh rides. Someone would come up with a wagon or a big sleigh and it was full of hay. The boys and girls piled into it and then off we would go, singing the latests songs, laughing, once in awhile a sly "hand-squeeze" from some boy that you "kind of" liked! After some time, riding around for an hour, we would stop at someone's house for cookies and "yum! yum! Good hot chocolate! Then after maybe another hour of "partying" we would be dropped off at our respective homes! Then there were the taffy "pulls" Kind of messy and sticky but nevertheless a lot of fun! And a lot of work to pull the taffy into the good white, or pink taffy ropes. They then would be cut into pieces and of course everyone got some to take home! When Spring finally came we were ready for it but still the good times of winter lingered on!
