School is out for the holidays for most people.  This past week was filled with School and Church Christmas programs.  We also had the Christmas Holiday Basketball Tournament in Lamar, although the weather was pretty bad for people coming from a distance on Saturday morning.

The snow storm Saturday put a damper on several things in the area.  Thankfully it didn't last too long, but I wish it had blessed us with more moisture.  It was fairly easy to clean sidewalks this morning since it was so dry, but you couldn't stay out too long because of the extremely cold temperatures.  The sun was shining brightly, but that was deceiving.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.  I will not have another article until after the holidays.  We will have our kids here to enjoy for several days.

See you in 2017!!
