      A good day yesterday.  Bradford's roads scared off the CNA.  She would have come if we needed her but we could get by without her and no one wants to come to Bradford if they don't have too.  We did go to the church dinner.  Avery good meal and lots of nice visiting.  The chaplain was happy to met us there so she didn't have to come to Bradford.  And she and her husband got to enjoy the dinner!

       I had a doctor's appointment, roads were good as soon as i crossed the town line from Bradford to Charleston.  It is not easy to fire a contractor but i think think it may happen this year.  He has already lost the plow contract for the next few years.  He was underbid but his bid wouldn't have been accepted if he was low bidder.  our roads are a rough mess and now they are freezing that way.  this weekend will just make them worse.

      Back to wrapping today.  Darel is on a probiotic, he is out of them.  We don't want to change brands so if no one is going to Bangor we may have to run to Sam's today.  Darel won't mind!  My other goal for the day is too finish writing the Nativity skit.  It changes a little every year as grand kid and great grand kids ages change.  Tomorrow morning i'm meeting the lady who is taking over  the church's nativity at the church to go over the costumes.  Last Sunday the pastor said they were all set.  he'd bought two boxes down from the attic.  Susan and I just looked at each other.  There are four boxes and sizes run from wee little angel costumes to adult.

      Always something in life to be Thankful for and happy about even if it isn't the roads.   Enjoy your day, days will be getting longer now,  Sally
