JONAS has arrived!




Well, it's finally here. I looked out the back window a little while ago and saw about three inches of snow on the ground. It's barely snowing right now; just tiny flakes or ice pellets. According to the weather forecasters, we could get up to a foot of snow in the Richmond area (much more to the west) by the time the snow ends tomorrow night. I'm guessing around 7-8 inches for us. We'll see.

I went to work this morning. No snow falling at the time and so a few brave souls opened our shops at Mixie's. Wendy and her husband arrived with a car full of boxes and things. She is returning to Mixie's to open another one of her pretty shops. 

Dave had opened the building and he was manning the store so that Elizabeth and Robin wouldn't need to come in. I asked him to let me know when it started snowing so I could leave. Of course, I wanted to stop at Food Lion before going home. You know there are always things to pick up even though we have been getting ready for the snow all week.

It didn't take long... about 10:30, I got the word that the snow had begun.  It was sticking right away too!  So off I went to get my groceries. Only thing I missed was Jimmy's milk!

Main roads (Rt. 360) were clear.  Subdivision roads, so-so. Probably worse now. 

So this is my little blog article for today!

Aging Musicians Still With Us In 2016





I saw this on Facebook today...  My thoughts turned to the several musicians who have passed in this new year of 2016.  Am happy to see how many of those we grew up with are still around.
