Stay safe, local friends. The storm is not over yet.

Snow causes closing of Seymour municipal offices


From the Office of Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller's Facebook page:

"All municipal offices will be closing at 1:30 due to the weather. We will post any delayed opening for tomorrow in the morning. 
"Stay safe!"

Recuperation journey: Crock pot fun

When we have a snowy day like today it puts me in the mood for using the crock pot. 
Anyone else feel that way? 


The aroma of something delicious cooking gives the house a warm and cozy feeling.
I'm about to do my best to put together ingredients for beef stew. The photo shows most of them. 

True story: I just realized I wrote a similar post Jan. 4! 
The more things change the more they stay the same.
