WInter has finally arrived in Southern Illinois

WInter has finally arrived in Southern Illinois

Well, we had our first snow this week. It wasn't much, you can still see the grass through most of it in my yard, but it was the first of the year.

It's cold now, though, not the kind of weather where you want to play on the webcam so close to the window. It has blinds on it folks, so I don't think my neighbors are enjoying the show.

Anyway, things are changing here. My supervisor, and coincidentally my best friend, retired at the end of the year, and with conditions in the Library being not so nifty, as I have explained elsewhere, being very busy is about the only thing that gets me out the door and on the way to work. After 25 years (26 in March) I suppose its inevitable that the principle reason for going in is more the people than the pay. Its getting close to the time when it isn't going to pay that much more to go to work than it would be to stay home and collect my retirement.

I have always answered that question "what would you do if you won the lottery" by saying I'd still go to work. I guess I'm moving away from that now.

Anyway, this community is still someplace to be, checking in on how friends are doing, and here at home I can at least go to lunch with my friend now and then, whenever the soup is either corn chowder or mushroom bisque. lol
