Very quiet night in the Noble tonight.  Andy and Matt both took off.  We had a large snow storm last night and I thought it might keep them from driving, but they got out of the Valley.  I'm going to empty out the fridge upstairs.  I shifted snow around today.  Twice snow slipped off the roof and I had to dig myself out of the house.

  Some very nice person plowed off my sidewalk, that was a big help.  Bob plowed my driveway out for me.  It will be easier for my little car to get out of the driveway now.  I don't know what I would do without Bob.

I heard Molly Absolon wrote an article for Outside magazine about Pete's death.  I'll have to get a copy and read it.  I talked to a neighbor about Pete Absolon and Clay Rubano.  It has been a tough year for NOLS.  Allen thinks someone must have taken Clay from the parking lot up at Bruce's Bridge.    People just don't disappear.  Ten years ago Amy Betchel disappeared in the same general area.

The post office delivered the last present I had ordered for Christmas, so other than wrapping packages I am set.  The anise flavoring I ordered arrived yesterday.  I hope to make anise flavored pizzelles on Christmas day while the guys watch football.  Merry Christmas everyone.

Just another very quiet night in the Noble.  Liz
