poor, poor hilary

What would I do with out the technical support of my kids? Hilary has been on the phone with me for 45 minutes setting up my new blog spot as i forgot, lost all my passwords or whatever for grandma behind bars blog spot. So here we go again.
It is a wonderful snowy day. Ron has been shoveling driveway--can't get the snowblower to work.
I have been here in my office all morning--Christmas music going, and getting paperwork organized.
Here is one of my favorite poems by John Updike for this wonderful season:

First snow! The flakes so few so light. Remake the world in solid white. All bundled up, we feel as if we are fat penguins, warm and stiff. Downtown the stores half split their sides, and mother brings home things she hides. Old carols peal. The dusk is dense. There is the mood of sweet suspense. The shepherds wait, the Kings, the tree--all wait for something yet to be. Some miracle. And then it's here, wrapped up in hope-----another year.
