There were snowmachine tracks on Umbagog Lake Thursday and an ice shack on Friday. Wow! I can’t believe it was safe to do that. I confess that I am gutless when it comes to going on lake ice, but I think someone was a bit too brave.

More snow dancing, please.

Before last week, COVID was surreal to Penny and I. It was affecting other people, mostly from far away, and in cities. On Friday, Dec. 31, Penny’s oldest brother passed away from complications caused by COVID 19. Rest in peace, Gene.
