This is a letter I got last night in response to my latest edition of the MJF Sisterhood newsletter...
We live in New Hampshire in the snow and cold and have just finished our sixth day with no electricity. Since we are on a well that means no running water. To water the animals in the pasture we had to break a hole in the ice covering the pond and bucket out pond water to carry down to them. At 3:30 it is already getting dark and knitting/reading by candelight makes 8 p.m. seem like midnight. It is so cold even with the wood stove that you can see your breath. I am sending this from a Red Cross shelter--we came over to take a shower. Thought that it might make all your stresses seem a little less. Have a real Merry Christmas--the way it is supposed to be. Love, Suzanne Bardin
In case you're feeling holiday stress....
